I recently found out that the wife of one of my good friends cheated on him, on more than one occasion and that one affair lasted for quite some time. I really want to let him know what she did to him, but I know if I just come out and tell him, he'll never speak to me again. Our families are good friends, and I'd like to keep it that way -- except for his wife -- and I wouldn't want to be accused of trying to interfere with someone else's family. I was thinking of sending him an anonymous letter and letting him try to get her to confess. What do you think?

Dear Undecided,
The only reason to keep this a secret would be if you were the guy she was cheating with. Keeping it a secret is just one more betrayal. As for the anonymous note, his wife can easily blame the note on an enemy trying to sabotage their marriage. Being a good friend means telling friends the truth, even when the truth could upset them. If the truth causes him to never talk to you again, it's not because he's upset with you -- it's because his wife hurt and confused him. One day he'll thank you, if not today, then years down the road. I'd tell.
