Do I say anything?

Ok, as simple and as short as I can.

My dear friend and her husband have been together nearly 20years. A few years ago she found out about him cheating on her and was completely crushed. He swore it was a one off and they stayed together as I do believe they do love each other. She has had suspicions about him cheating more recently and his behaviour has not exactly been very good. They have talked about it and he swore it was nothing again she has stayed with him.

I have found out last night, he had been cheating on her again albeit apparently this has now stopped.

She desperately wants to stay together and not end the marriage. So do I tell her or just stay out of it? I feel awful, when they are together they seem very happy, but I also know how devastated she was when this originally happened and how sad she still is now because of it all.

I feel terrible, really truly terrible that I have in part caused her pain
This is ALL 100% down to him and you know that really.
He cheated before. Promised to never do it again and then did it again.
This is all on him.
She totally deserved to know.
I'm sorry that she has basically 'shot the messenger'
You could be a good support to her right now but she is choosing to take her anger out on you rather than the person that deserves it.
Some women are just like that.
They are prepared to be walked all over and disrespected because they want to keep their 'precious man'
More fool her.
Just let her know you are there for her if she needs you and then leave it be.

ask her is she preferred you didnt tell her.
i believe if you didnt tell her she would be more upset.
