Listen to KZN reacting to this woman's dilemma, or read the details under the podcast.

Can you think of anything more awkward and uncomfortable than knowing that your best friend's partner is cheating, and then deciding if and how you should tell them?

It may seem like a clear-cut situation, but there’s a lot to consider before sharing what you know. On the one hand, you feel your friend is being wronged, and we don't like seeing wrong being done, so you want to tell your friend. However, on the other hand, telling your friend would more than likely hurt him or her in some way. Not to mention the fact that you could be potentially breaking up a home.

This is exactly the situation a KZN woman has found herself in. While out in public, she saw her best friend's husband with another woman getting a bit too busy. As she went to approach him, they got in his car and drove off. Now what? She doesn't have any proof, but how can she go on lying to her friend about what she saw?

So what is the best thing to do? Well, wikiHow has put together a list of a few things to go through before telling your friend that their partner is cheating. Check it out below:

• Get proof - If possible, get evidence of what you saw. It will help to back your story.
• Don't tell your other mates - You may want to pick up your phone and get this huge burden off your chest, but wait. You don't want your best friend to find out before you tell them.
• Make a pros and cons list - Always think of the bigger picture and what the impact will be on their relationship and yours with your best friend when you eventually tell all.
• Be empathetic to your friend - How would you feel if you were in his/her shoes? 

If it were me, I would spill the beans and tell my friend. After all, my friend means more to me than protecting the cheating husband/wife. I am all about being loyal to my friends, even if it may sometimes seem that I'm poking my nose into their business. As long as the truth is told, I'm happy.
