xxDandelionxx: I have just found my dear friend's husband on another dating website!!
I can't imagine my friend knows anything like this is going on. I feel a bit sick actually but I know that I will be damned whatever I do or don't do.
If I am the bearer of bad news, I will be hated but if I keep quiet and its discovered that I knew about it.......
He has always seemed a lovely fella, I wonder if its a blokey thing, i.e. a dare, a lark?
I think the best option is for you to let her know the FACTS and prepare yourself for the fallout.
I suspect if there is indeed cheating going on your friend will most likely know about it. They might be in denial and you may perceive and experience real anger directed at you for bringing it forward. Can the friendship withstand the stormy weather?
If your friend is completely in the dark and still in love, I believe the info you provide will most likely be devastating but their reaction or anger won’t be directed at you as it would be in the case of their knowing but denying infidelity exists. I believe they’ll be more receptive and accepting of your friendship within this scenario.
Either way it’s best to inform. I know it would be difficult for me to know and face them not knowing that part of their life is possibly a lie.
Maybe send an anonymous letter to her house without saying your name. Stating the facts, that you uncovered that way you cant get implicated or just tell your friend in person. She deserves to know
Thanks for the input from you all, and for taking the time and trouble. You're all superstars!
There is definitely food for thought there. Personally, I would want to know but she's not me..... its clear we would all have a different way of receiving information like that and some very valid points have been made.

And are you prepared for questioning as to why YOU were also on another dating site ? .....

Relax, if he's a solid guy, then probably just someone stole his picture and used it on a fake profile.
Ask him - either he's totally surprised and he'll want to know that someone is misusing his picture; or he's not surprised and then you can tell him to remove himself asap or you will tell.
justjim63: Send him a message on the site, and say something like "Oh i didn't realise that (insert your friends name) and you have seperated, i'll have to call her to see f she's ok?" I bet he'll be off the site quick smart, and probably never be able to look you straight in the eyes again.
I would have replied in exactly the same way! Hi JIm
A friend's fiance once made a very obvious pass at me. I told him that my I no longer trusted him and that if tried anything again I would tell my friend immediately. I was in my 20s then. Now my reaction would be different.
As I would want to know, and I have asked my close friends would THEY want to know I feel quite safe in telling a man.."you tell her or I will". My friends are all good people and I would find it abhorrent that some-one would lie/cheat by playing around (or attempting to) outside their marriage. They deserve better!
This is so sick. A lot of you folks are here on this site and not looking for anyone. What maes you so special? Now your first thought is to give an advice that could destroy somebodies life.

Now lets be fair to the other posters too.
You also forgot to give credit to the people like myself and others who said they'd mind their own business.
