Not
Sharing The Cheating Truth is The
Ultimate Betrayal
Dear
Harlan,
I recently found out that the wife of one of my good friends
cheated on him, on more than one occasion and that one affair
lasted for quite some time. I really want to let him know
what she did to him, but I know if I just come out and tell
him, he'll never speak to me again. Our families are good
friends, and I'd like to keep it that way -- except for his
wife -- and I wouldn't want to be accused of trying to interfere
with someone else's family. I was thinking of sending him
an anonymous letter and letting him try to get her to confess.
What do you think?

Dear
Undecided,
The
only reason to keep this a secret would be if you were the
guy she was cheating with. Keeping it a secret is just one
more betrayal. As for the anonymous note, his wife can easily
blame the note on an enemy trying to sabotage their marriage.
Being a good friend means telling friends the truth, even
when the truth could upset them. If the truth causes him to
never talk to you again, it's not because he's upset with
you -- it's because his wife hurt and confused him. One day
he'll thank you, if not today, then years down the road. I'd
tell.
