Should I lie to my best friend to spare his feelings?

Question

Or should I tell him about my affair with his wife.

Answer 1

It's always better to tell the truth but no one can make that decision for you.

Answer 2

First of all. Do not call yourself his "best friend". (If what you are saying is true.) Because of what you did, I believe you never were even a friend!

A best friend would never do that to hurt someone in anyway like that.

You have the gall to say you are his best friend! You'd better examine your REAL motive for wanting to tell this person your alleged affair.

Answer 3

Does she want to fix the relationship with him? As far as you know, are you the only one she cheated with? She may have been in a bad place at the time and now regrets it. Honestly, if my fiance cheated on me but it was over and he was very sorry, I would want to be kept in the dark. If it's still going on - *stop* now. Not even just for your friend - but for yourself. Who wants to be the other man/woman? That stinks. How would telling him be a benefit either way? So you tell him, and he leaves her, and hates you - or you DON'T tell him, he lives in ignorant bliss, and maybe one day finds out and *then* he hates you. Or he just never finds out and you and she are the only ones who have to live with the burden.

Answer 4

You had an affair with your best friend's wife? What kind of friend are you? You have already hurt him. You have hurt her (deserving or not) and you are in a world of hurt yourself. You have no honor.

Answer 5

u should tell and then do the right and leave his wife alone. Did u know that when you sleep with a another man's wife it's the same as if u slept with him. think about it.when two people get married they become one so what u do with one you do to the other.

Answer 6

if you want to get your @ss kicked!!!
