Send an anonymous email to him, telling him that you know him and will expose him if he doesn’t stop. This could avoid a lot of pain between the two, possibly a divorce.

Yes that would be much better that she was sick 10 years down the line to only find out she has AIDS. That way your guilt can die with her and her hubby can get away with murder. That is such crap to warn him. He knows its wrong. Telling him is not going to do anything but make him be more careful about display.

He is trash. He deserves to deal with what he is.

Wow, you sure are making a lot of assumptions! Let me guess -- you were cheated on?

Don't you find it just a teensy bit odd that he's behaving this way in public for all to see? There's got to be more to this story.

Pigs will be pigs. Just because I think he is a total piece of crap because I hate cheaters doesnt mean a thing about me except that I hate cowards. Should I guess that you are a cheater because you are so "cool" about it?

I don't care what you assume or don't assume about me. My point is that you're clearly getting all worked up and you even insulted that other commenter simply for giving an opinion when we have NO idea what's going on in this situation. It seems fishy to me. Why would this guy be snogging his mistress or whatever she is in public so people who know him might see?

And, yes, I'm calm about it. Why wouldn't I be? I don't know these people and all we have is an OP stating she saw something. This is the Internet -- it could all be made up. Save your righteous indignation for something you KNOW FOR A FACT is real and unjust.

I was cheated on by a boyfriend once. My best friend knew and didn't bother to tell me. What kind of "best" friend is that, let alone any kind of friend at all? Her betrayal was as big or bigger to me than his was. They both became history.

I also lost a friend after telling her about my evening with a group of people, one of whom was her husband, who was all over another woman, and at one point came over and told me to knock it off with talking about his wife. I explained to her that my previous experience being cheated on myself, guided my conscience in my decision to tell her, and that my only intent was that she have a conversation with her husband so that she could protect herself if need be, both emotionally and physically.

I'd make the same choice again, given the same information. I'll gladly suffer the consequences. My feelings are never more important than another person's life. Sexually transmitted diseases are nothing to screw around with (no pun intended), and condoms aren't always effective.

Good luck to you and your friend.

This is sort of a no win situation.
Tell her and maybe she doesn't really want to know, maybe she'll blame you for opening her eyes and forcing her to make a decision she doesn't really want to make.
Don't tell her and later she finds out you knew and didn't tell her - she gets mad, what kind of friend are you? Hurt betrayal, no longer friends.
You kind of have to base your decision on who (you think) your friend is, who her husband is and how strong there marriage is or isn't. Is this a weak moment on his part in an other wise strong relationship? Or has he always been sort of a d*** and is finally showing his true colors? Is she the type that would always blame the women for stealing her husband and always take her man back?
Would she rather know that have everyone else find out and be humiliated when she finds out everyone else knew before she did?
How strong is your relationship? Will she believe you? Blame you?
Look at it from all angles then go with what you think is the closest to right for them and you.

N this day of the Neenernet, I'd opt for an anonymous email from an account I'd set up for that purpose and use once.

A very specific email, noting the time, place and physical descriptions of both parties, as well as a recommendation that she put her health first and get tested.
