[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Little story:

I have a friend and anytime I saw her DH and another friend together something just seemed off. I observed little looks between them, sly touches. A little too enthusiastic about each other, you know? I felt terrible for "seeing" these things and I always pushed it aside. Because I had noticed though I just kept noticing.

Three years go by and I guess the other friend can read my face after witnessing an interaction between the two and a few days later she comes clean to me. They, both married with children, have been having an affair for 8 years. She explains that they are both staying with their spouses "for the children" and that about 50% of his business trips are to a hotel with her about a mile from his home. I felt sick and wished I could unknow this information.

My friend believes she is happily married. She and DH are affectionate and fun together, great parents. Other friend's husband is a workaholic and pretty inattentive (doesn't mean he should be cheated on). I cringe whenever my friend walks about her wonderful marriage and homelife (often in front of other friend) and there is this huge proverbial gorilla in the room. I am in a position like the OP. I just do not know what to do. My gut tells me to tell my friend, that I myself would want to know. My brain says stay out of it MYOB.[/quote]

It was really, really shitty for her to put that on you. How selfish of her! I'm sure she felt relieved to tell someone, but now she's transferred all of this baggage onto you. That's not fair, at all. And I'd probably drop her as a friend.

That said, I would still MYOB. I would feel terrible about turning The Wife's lift upside down.[/quote]
