Friend's DH Dry Humping a 'friend'

A good friend of mine needs advice and she's aware I am posting on here.

She has just found out her DH has been 'dry humping' a friend of his during which they fantasise about fucking each other. It's happened about a dozen times according to the DH.

He slipped up he had been round this friend's house when he had previously said he was working and my friend was suspicious. She asked about it and her DH admitted he fancied the friend and my friend demanded to see his phone which he eventually reluctanctly showed her.

She said it's clear from the texts they haven't had actual sex. He met this friend the other day and texted her afterwards saying he would love to fuck her for real but he can't.

I've told my friend he has still cheated on her but she's not sure if it warrants splitting up over. They've got kids in their late teens who still live at home.

I've said it is her decision and how she feels about it but she thinks it would be helpful to know how serious people consider it. He denys it's an emotional affair and has done the normal minimalising crap.

Yes my friend has definitely made the right call. The trust has totally gone and she still thinks he's lying. Even if he's being truthful he has still betrayed her horribly and has still cheated over a long period.

She hasn't been for the STD check. I'm hoping she will go when she feels a bit more able to.

No she realises she won't ever know the truth even if he is being truthful because she can't believe him because of all the lies to start with.

He's upset because of the affect on his life and getting caught. If he gave a fuck about my friend he wouldn't have cheated in the first place. He is disgusting, the pair of them are.

Maybe a one off could be potentially forgiveable, but a dozen times, no way.

I'd actually respect the DH more if he had DTD properly, this sounds like someone who is able to justify and minimise his totally inappropriate behaviour.

Definitely an affair.

I know I'm odd in that when DH had an affair we did everything 'wrong' - he didn't cut contact, I never had access to his phone or e mail, we looked at it as a situation we had both contributed too and a symptom and not a cause - and it worked for us in terms of recovery so I can't really give advice on what she should do but I'd certainly count that as infidelity.
