Best friend’s DH social media

Don’t know why but this is bugging me a bit.

on Instagram you can see on the ‘reels’ section which ones your friends like. I think it’s relatively new.

best friend’s DH liked a reel of a very provocative woman (literally about 90% nude) etc…. I was shocked when I saw it as I personally hadn’t noticed he liked anything like this before. basically quite bad to be honest. I think it’s a porn actress.

he has a bit of a history of chatting to woman online (a few years ago, claims
to my friend he has stopped and she’s found no evidence since).

long story.

i have the screen shot. Do I tell her or not? DH thinks I should but I don’t want to upset her when she doesn’t really need that at the moment as I know she’d blow up over this big time (she’s said one more thing and that’s it). They have a DD.

I also don’t want it to backfire encase she tells her DH and he then blames me (we are a close group of friends, her, me, her DH and my DH) then that friendship is ruined.

AIBU NOT to tell her?

I usually go against the MN ‘don’t tell’ consensus but in this instance: she didn’t leave him over chatting to other women or a secret app, she’s not going to leave him over looking at mucky insta reels no matter what she says to make herself feel better to you. And you’ll just get caught in the crossfire, it’s not worth it.
