It’s a dilemma that nobody wants to find themselves in – whether or not to tell a friend that their partner is cheating on them. One woman who is grappling with the decision has reached out to ask for advice.
The woman took to an online forum to explain that she’s heard a rumour her friend’s husband is having an affair, and is now in two minds about revealing all.
“I have heard through the grapevine (through my nail lady), that there is a woman local to us who has told people that she is having an affair with my friend’s husband,” she said.
“My husband and I have been friends with them for 10 years – my friend has made it clear to me that she has been going through a bit of a rough patch with her husband but that things have been looking up recently. They have two very young children.
“My nail lady doesn’t have any information other than that the other woman knows that he has a wife and children – she also has a boyfriend.”
The woman says she was told that the affair had been going on for a year, but had recently ended because the pair could no longer meet up due to commitments.
“No idea whether it was just sex or more. She also didn’t tell me the name of the woman – but from what she has told me, I have a pretty good idea of who the other woman is. There is no way that this would get back to my friend other than through me.
“Should I tell my friend? My heart says to tell her as I would want to know if it was reversed, however I have no concrete proof and my nail lady would definitely not get involved to either find out more information or to speak to my friend.
“I feel like I’ll end up looking like a trouble causer for mentioning it to my friend without any evidence at all? Advice welcome!”
