Friends and cheating

I'd tell my friend that his cheating is a deal breaker and we are no longer friends for as long as it continues. Then he'd be gone as a friend. Any future activities would be invite only to the wife. That likely will tell without telling.
 
She had it her way!

Let's say you have a married couple whom you are close friends with both but one of them is cheating. Do you tell the other person that they're cheating or do you mind your business because it's not your marriage? What would you do in this situation?

I would stay out of it.
 
This isn't the first thread like this.
The responses are eerily familiar.

MY STORY: At work, two married people were having a rather common knowledge affair. Obviously the gal's hubby and the guy's wifey didn't work there.
It didn't effect me or anybody else so everybody's work-a-day life went on as normal.

One day the gal and a friend had gone Christmas shopping. The two gals showed up after lunch with enormous shopping bags. The sister even had her baby in a stroller.
They clogged the front doorway.
Without thinking, I offered to schlep the huge shopping bag into my coworker's office to clear the way.
She accepted.
When I dropped the huge bag off in the office three other female coworkers came up to me and told me (in a super friendly way, as I got along with everybody there), "Don't ever be nice to that {insert filthy language here} again. She's a cheating ****e, etc. etc.

Baby...that's as close as I ever want to get to that kinda carp. Do I make myself clear?

And the real funny part was that nobody ever described the guy in those derogatory terms.

Funny but I have not such a friends. I wonder how pple waste there precious time with such things. Why you should hurt someone? To be in the oil forum , I should say;”better change your oil”:)
 
I have a coworker who has been cheating and may still cheat on his wife. Let's call her Julia. I know her and she's a fine lady. Let's call his girlfriend Destiny. I know her vaguely. The cheating has been going on for 9 years. I didn't ask for this info, he volunteered it. I'm one who lets people dig their own graves but sometimes I don't mind giving a helping hand. One day, my coworker and I were out and about in a vehicle and his wife called. He had her on the speakerphone. He told her he was on his way to blah-blah with his coworker blah-blah. I instinctively and without thinking yelled cheerfully, "Hello Destiny, how are you?" Dead silence from Julia, a murderous glance from my coworker. He has since stopped talking about his affair and I am just fine with that. He has also stopped putting private calls on the speaker phone. 😅
 
A shame people can't get all of this out of the way before finding someone they really want to be married to.
Some people never seem to be able to grow into adulthood.
Opportunities abound but one should not dishonor themselves and their commitments by taking advantage of them.
Would I tell? Probably not, but I might share with someone I knew would.
 
Adults can make polyamory work, but your friend didnt have a clue and betrayed alot of trust and left a destructive wake. Doesnt sound like he is much of a friend. Good luck.
