Simple: Mind Your Own Business!!! No good ever comes from putting your nose where it doesn't belong.
Sooo, if your husband is cheating on you and someone knows and didn't tell you but could have... it's ok for them to say, sorry I didn't tell you, I didn't want to be nosey? Oh by the way, how's the STD treating you that your husband gave you?


That person would cease being my friend and I would consider them a back-stabbing co-conspirator to the cheating party. End of friendship, even if it was 22 years. Buh-bye!
How would I be a back stabbing co-conspirator if I told his wife that her husband is cheating on her? It wouldn't betray my friend, she is done with him. FINALLY.


You wouldn't if you told her, but you would if you didn't tell her(and you knew). That is what I meant. Sorry about the confusion.flowerforyou
oooh ok. Well just to be clear, I do not know the wife in this situation. We have never met or even spoken. It's my friend that her husband has been cheating with.



Then, let me get this straight, your "friend" is the concubine that married man Joe is having an affair with. It seems that your friend knows all about this, the marriage and all. I would tell the wife first and then tell your friend she needs to drop him like a sack of mud or risk jeopardizing your friendship with her, the fact that she's doing this seems to show me that she is very capable of betrayal and deceit, something you probably don't want in a friendship. I know I wouldn't.

She found out yesterday that he's married. But she has known for a long time that he's been with her, but he lies to her about the whole relationship.

So...where do we draw the line of getting involved with other peoples business when we don't even know them?
Complete strangers to us, only we dislike their ex which we know something about through someone we care about?
She will find out, probally already knows, maybe married him thinking he was going to settle in with her. You don't know any of her story. It's really not your place to interfere with people you don't know. Not even a acquaintance. To get at him, to hurt him by getting another hurt (his wife) is not good business.
Women are not stupid, even your friend knew but continued.

I have no idea. All I know is how much he lied to my friend so I have to assume he lies to his now wife as well.

oops. I'm stoned and read it wrong. My bad.....flowerforyou


No, you didn't read it wrong. The OP posted one thing then now the whole entire story is totally opposite. Just as I figured it'd be. Now, I'm going to go mind my own business & leave this thread before I get in trouble.grumble
Tessa, I don't know you. But I can respect your opinion. I don't however appreciate the implication that I'm lying or changing my story. I have been completely honest. I have no reason to lie or change the story at all. But, your opinion is your own and you're entitled to it. Have a nice evening.

flowerforyou your friend is a home wrecker imo she is wanting him to leave his familyflowerforyou and as you said now knows he is marriedflowerforyou
well he's been lying to her the whole time, telling her to wait for him and hold on, he doesn't want to be with her, etc etc etc. My friend fell for it.


He may have been lying, but down inside she knew he was with this other person, (she chose to see only what she wanted to see) now she "knows" he is married so the only thing to do is move on. Leave him to the hands of fate.

Since you do not know his wife, you have nothing to do with the situation...leave her and her children out of your desire to hurt this guy.

Who's lyin' to who? At this point it seems hard to tell. Joe(the cheatin' bostid) might be lyin' to Sandy(friend), Sandy might be lyin' to Jill, and Joe is obviously lyin' to Barbara(wife).


There's some fake names for you, just thought I'd add some color to it.

And I agree with you newark. :thumbsup:

Simple: Mind Your Own Business!!! No good ever comes from putting your nose where it doesn't belong.


ok put it this way then.
if you were in a relationship and you never knew the guy you were in love with married and you find out from a close friend that had warned you about him for quit sometime. would you tell her the same thing and continue with the relationship knowing he wouldnt leave his wife
and keep stringing you along

I hate drama. I just want to wash my hands of this and be done with it. grumble grumble grumble I'm disappointed that my friend "Sandy" has let it go this far. But those are her decisions she has to live with. I just hope that he will leave her alone now. Let her move on with her life.

Let's bring this out a little, into the future. Let's just say that Sandy(friend) now knows about the marriage of Joe with Barbara(wife), doesn't give a damn, keeps boinking the guy, the marriage ends in divorce and Joe and Sandy live guilt-free in a remorseless sham of a relationship, and now wife(Barb) is left out to the coyotes in a horrible divorce. Would you honestly still be friends with Sandy? How could you possibly say yes?

No. With friends like that, who needs enemies? I really believe she is done, or trying to be done with him now. But he still keeps trying. After he told her he was married he said " I still have feelings for you" then why in FK did you get married?? omg he really does piss me off mad

Jill I don't think anybody thought you were lying. We just got a little confused. Thats a tough call.

Is it really over between Sandy and Joe? Or is Sandy just telling you it is? Is she being too accomodating to Joe, by answering his calls, texts, and e-mails? If she's hearing from him at all and not threatening to cut his balls off if he doesn't leave her alone, then it's not really over between those two.

Ideally, I wish they would both throw the guy to the curb! He doesn't deserve even one second of their time. BUT, thats my opinion and I'm not married to him, nor do I have any emotion for him, well other than anger and disgust... Whether "barb" wants to fix her marriage or not is up to her. But I feel she needs all of the information to make that decision. But I also feel it's not really my place since I don't even know Barb. So that's where I'm torn.

That is a pickle. To be honest. It's going to play out wether you say anything or not. I also hate to see somebody taken advantage of......
