So someone DOESN'T deserve to know if their spouse is cheating?
No. Certainly not from the guy her husband confided in.

Their home life was miserable until that point. And my buddy was no less confused at age 18 than he would have been at age 10.
At least at that age you can talk about it with your kid. At ten he has no clue, I have seen both ends of it and staying together is the better result,IMO. There is no right answer too a wrong situation, there are just less wrong.

The friend wants someone to tell him what he's doing is right
I do not condone it, I am simply saying that the friend is looking for this

The reason the man told his friend about the affair is that he is asking for help. He knows what he is doing is wrong and he wants a way out. 100% right, many posters don't seem to realize the bolded part.
Some people just like to get it off their chest. They know they are being dishonest and by telling someone they can feel better about themselves.

I agree...

Exactly. What happened to the bro code? I feel bad for his wife, but I am not going to betray my friend's confidence. You can advise your friend and help him. It sounds like that is what the guy wants. It is up to him if he wants her to know.

I would "jokingly" threaten to tell the wife and make comments about a big secret I know when in front of her.
It'll be the last time he confides in me about shite like that...

No such thing when someone's cheating on their spouse, IMO.

Said it started due to a lack of intimacy at home
ALL affairs start due to a lack of intimacy at home. I can't really fault the guy for getting pussy on the side. A man simply cannot go without pussy.

You sound like a shitty friend.

As a friend, you are honor-bound to try to point him in the right direction (ending the affair). You should never do anything that implies that you sanction his behavior (meeting the mistress , hanging out with her, etc). I personally wouldn't feel the need to end a friendship over it, but I know many better men who would. Whatever happens, unless you're speaking with him, keep your mouth shut about it. You're a grown man.
Solid advice.

Also, frick this guy because they hit a "rough patch". Every married couple hits rough patches. You suck it the frick up and work through it.
Didnt read thru all. Are there kids involved? i hope not.

This is the exact same thought process that people use to justify stealing shite. "Brah he's got plenty of money and I've got none. A man can't live without money!"

Maybe you're right, he could be looking for validation... But inside, the guy knows he's wrong.

Not the same thing. Men are driven by testosterone. Fact. 4 is right.

He knows what he is doing is wrong and he wants a way out. That's why he's asking his friend for support.
Did it every occur to you that he was seeking validation from a bud?
