He goes to the city and gets prostitutes. My parents know this because the daughter told my mom. My parents are worried that their friends will tell them to mind their own business and cut off their friendship. Should they tell?

Actually I should have mentioned that he is doing meth, as well as using his wifes credit card to buy him prostitutes, gambling, drinking. The daughters parents don't know about any of this they are completely oblivious

i hate to say this, but this is between the husband and wife. as much as you want to tell people something like this, generally the messenger is the one to catch the grief in situations like this.
the wife may know but can't bear the thought of her folks else knowing.
however, if she was comfortable enough to tell your mom then perhaps your mom could suggest she tell her own mother and if she is afraid to your mom could go with her.
but personally i'd stay way way out of this one!

Why should the parents have anything to do with it???? If the daughter knows her husband is cheating then it stops there, it's none of the parents business. It's only the husband and wifes business and it seems they both know.

As long as the daughter knows, then it's up to her to tell the her parents if and when she feels ready to. Your parents could talk to her and let her know that they think she should tell her parents, but they shouldn't tell the parents for her. Even if the parents aren't upset with your parents for telling them, the daughter will probably be upset with them for breaking her trust.

No they shouldn't tell.If the daughter knows her husband is cheating on her, its her choice whether to tell her parents or not. Its none of anybody elses business.

If the daughter hasnt told her parents than there are reason she has not told them, and in truth something of that nature should be her choice to make for herself. For whatevers reasons she feels like she can turn to your parents, and if they break that trust then she may feel like she has nowhere to turn to... which could lead to worse things. People need to understand, this isnt about her parents... it's about her. I do think you parents should encourage her to leave him and talk to her parents.

maybe because you are right it could go both ways you never know what the woman would say .but if your mom and her have been friends for along time ,then it would just be a test of their realationship.maybe even telling the guy that you heard that maybe he is cheating on your moms freind to hear his side of the story .cause you never really know what to belive from people.(even if it is family she might have saw or heard wrong) but if i was you i would tell the lady. she deserves to know.

Well, even if its risking their friendship, they should tell them. Once they find out that the husband really is cheating on their daughter they'll thank them, and they'll still be friends.

Based on what you've said? I'd stay clear. But I know that Prostitution, may have Drugs involved. I'd be more concerned about that. Than her chosen profession. Be careful!

What good will it do to tell them? Apparently the wife already knows (if I understand you correctly)...if she wants her parents to know, she'll tell them herself. Your parents should respect that the daughter confided in them and should not betray her confidence.
