You have to tell your friend. They deserve to know the truth, even if it's uncomfortable. Staying silent makes you complicit in the lie.

Staying silent is the safer choice. You risk damaging your friendship, and it might not even be your place to interfere in their relationship.

It's a difficult situation, but friendship means being honest. Your friend would want to know, and they'd probably feel betrayed if they found out you knew and said nothing.

Tell them. A real friend doesn't keep secrets that could hurt you. Your friend needs to make informed decisions about their own life.

This depends on how close you are and whether you have solid proof. Gossip and rumor can destroy relationships just as easily as infidelity.

I would tell them gently. It's not about interfering—it's about respecting your friend enough to let them have the facts.
