Ask Amy: Sleuth wants to report adultery to friend
Dear Amy: My husband and I have two close friends: “Jack” and “Katrina,” who are married to each other and have two children.
We are often with them and with other couples at social functions.
I recently found out that Jack has been in a multi-year affair with another much younger friend of ours, “Martina.”
I spoke to both Jack and Martina and told them they need to come clean with Katrina.
They haven’t done that and continue their affair in secret. I know this because I drive by Martina’s house all the time, where I see his car parked in front.
I confronted them again. Jack said he hadn’t told Katrina, and didn’t intend to. They told me to mind my own business.
What should I do? My husband says I should stay out of it, but if I was Katrina, I would want to know that my husband was openly having an affair.
It is also very awkward to see Jack and Katrina at events, because it seems like I am complicit in the lie by acting as if I don’t know.
Should I tell my friend?
