The only way I would is if I had definitive proof so they couldn't deny it. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother.

I know that telling a friend/family memeber that there partner is cheating on them is hard, and it can hurt them really badly, but I fill that no matter what if someone know they need to tell. Because once when I was a teen I kept it from my friend that her BF was cheating and when she found she was PISSED and even more pissed at me for not telling. So ever since then, If I know, I tell them.

Yes, to keep it a secret is only going to make it more painful later when he or she does find out. Coming from a family member or close friend, it will be easier if you have someone supportive to help you through such a difficult time. I am speaking from my own experience after having gone through that painful time in my life without my family or close friends knowing.

I've never been in a situation where I had to do this, thankfully. It seems like a mess.
