If you saw the husband or wife of a friend (not a best buddy, but someone in your social group ) on a dating site promoting that they were single and looking, what would you do?

Let's assume you have only met the boss's partner at a couple of formal work functions and have never interacted with them socially.

If I was close to them, I would say something or tell them to look on the site. If I was not close to them, I wouldn't say anything.

I would take them aside and tell them, "I'm not here to judge you, but I came across your dating pofile on a 'whatever' dating site. I just wanted to give you a heads up because if I found it - others may also and I know you're married.' After that - then it's none of your business.

I just added a part to the original question which explains that the boss's partner is for all intents and purposes a stranger to you, but you sound brave.

would anyone send an anonymous note to the spouse? I'd like to think I would because I would want to know if it were me...but what I wouldn't do is protect the so-called cheater by giving them a head's up that you saw them on the website....if they have some sort of "agreement" where it is acceptable in their marrage/partnership, then it will be just fine that you send the note.

Since the person is practically a stranger to you then it doesn't impact you one way or the other. Leave it to someone else who is a friend/relative to discover. No need to get into the middle of a stranger's business.

If it was a married man I would create a fake profile of a beautiful woman on the dating site and contact him and then arrange to meet him in a bar.

Then I would phone his wife and say I am having a surprise drinks party for him (in the same bar) and can she come along

Then I would sit hidden on the other side of the bar and watch his face as his wife walked in.

Well ok, I probably wouldnt do that. But some people would

Nada! I would never stick my nose into someone else's business like that.
