My two best friends have been married for 3 years, and I found out that one of them cheated on the other. Would you say something, or keep it to yourself?
It depends on the person I guess if a close friend of mine gets cheated on I would tell them. If both are equally my friends but not close friends, I would stay away, if both are close friends and he cheated on her I would talk to him about what he’s done, if she cheated on him I would need to gather proof, then I would probably tell him what I’d found out I would give the proof and ask that my name was left out of the equation. Either way two close friends I would never confront her about it knowing my close friends who are together it would blow up in my face if I told the girl about it.

+1 yThis is a sticky situation.
I had a similar situation where a couple (both my friends) and the one was going out on a date with someone else. I told the other about it which caused a big fight for days. Ultimately they made up and both of them stopped talking to me. The one person because I ratted him out and the other because she said I tried to break them up. I wasn’t doing that but ultimately they have been married for 20 years and I am no longer friends with them. Sometimes it’s just better to pretend not to know anything.00 Reply
Since you’re best friends with both of them, I would say just keep your mouth shut. But if one was your best friend, and the other was just the spouse of your best friend, then I would definitely tell the friend.

+1 yIf it person cheating was a woman I would tell the guy, but I would not tell a woman if her guy was cheating. This is because it is far worse when a woman cheats than when a man cheats for multiple reasons:
- Women only cheat when don't they respect or love their man, but a man's cheating has little to do with how he feels about his woman, the mistress is typically recreational use only and doesn't get wife benefits from the guy.
- A cheating woman can cuckold a man; a cheating man cannot cuckold a woman.
- A woman cheating on her man is far more humiliating than a man cheating on his woman.
00 Reply If i was friends with both of them, its my obligation to tell the one being cheated on. If i wasn't friends with the person being cheated on but i was friends with the cheater I wouldn't bother letting the person know they were getting cheated on. I would reevaluate my friendship with the person who cheated though, because i dont condone that behavior at all.

+1 yWhat I would do, I would anonymously tell them, because it is the Right thing to do and keep your name and yourself completely out of it. If something, would come up and they would start interrogating you, you don't know jack shit, because it might back fire on you like a crooked bullet. Do the right thing, but keep yourself at invisible and safe distance.
00 Reply4.4K opinions shared on Relationships topic. It depends on who told you and how you found out? If you heard it from someone other than the couple themselves then it’s best to stay out of it completely and only talk to the source you heard of from if you really need to know what happened if you heard it from one of the partners’ then just talk to them about it , Whatever the case my be , it’s best to keep yourself out of it as much as possible and don’t get involved unless you are questioned about it and they want your opinion on it
00 ReplyFound my friend’s husband on tinder and immediately told her. I couldn’t have held onto that secret. It would have felt so wrong to do so and I would have wanted her do to the same for me.
00 ReplyNot my business. I will lose respect for them, but it isn't my duty to interfere unless asked.

I agree.
+1 yI think you better not, you don't want to be the one to destroy their relationship, let them be, these things usually don't take long time to come to light, then you won't be the one to blame if things went nasty.
