Helping a friend after the discovery of an affair

Well the title says it all. She is a dear friend who has always been there in my time of need, what I need to know is how to help her through this awful crisis. He's been having an affair for the last 3 years, she found out the usual way, undeleted text messages etc. She says she loves him and wants to work things out but I think this may be a pattern of behaviour for him. So please, if anyone has suffered a similar experience would you mind telling me what your friends did that helped the most? Thank you.

Just being there is help enough. Let her talk, cry, scream on your shoulder. Be as supportive as you can.

Just be therre for her and don't judge her decisions. You may think they are wrong but you need to be there as support. Hugs to you. It will be difficult for you as well especially if she wants to hang on to him but you probably regard him as an utter asshole (and you are probably right).
