[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can’t really remain friends with her because in doing so, you’re giving credibility to her lies, and if you have integrity, that isn’t something you can live with. You can distance yourself a lot if that’s feasible. But if she continues to confide in you, you are enabling her behavior.[/quote]

You’re just a friend. You’re not responsible for other people’s behavior. [/quote]

No, but you can hold people that you associate with to a standard of integrity, and choose to disassociate if they are scumbags.[/quote]

Very judgy.  You don't know what's going on in other people's marriage and have not idea until you walk a mile in their shoes.  Marriage is a cultural creation, the norms and structure of which are different depending on where you live.  If you've been married for a bit then you know there's no such thing as a "typical" marriage.  Every single one is different and has its own strengths, weaknesses and issues.  Your friend is confiding in you as a FRIEND.  You don't need to condone their choices and you can even counsel them to alter their behavior/choices, but cutting them off or threatening them with disclosure seems to fly in the face of what being a friend is about.
