Today’s topic: My friend’s wife is a cheater Dear Steve and Shirley, My best friend and I have been friends for over Twenty-two years. We are like brothers and there is nothing we would not do for each other — at least that is what I always thought, until now. He has been married for over 15 years and he worships the ground that his wife walks on. They have a beautiful home and two wonderful, bright kids. On the surface, their marriage seems to be perfect, however, I know different. A couple of months ago I saw his wife with another man. They were sitting side by side, in a booth at a sports bar. I walked over and said hello and she nearly fainted. I asked the guy she was with if he knew she was married to my best friend. He quickly apologized and left. She pleaded with me not to tell her husband. I asked her how long this was going on, and she replied that they had been having a fling for over six months. Steve and Shirley, should I tell my friend? He is already asking me why I do not come around that much anymore. I feel that it is not my place to tell him. I corrected her on the spot, hoping she would tell him (which she has not). What is the right thing? Should I keep this secret or tell my dear friend. He will be crushed if I tell him. Sincerely, Confused Friend
