Human: I am very good friends with a couple that I have known for a long time. I would say I'm equally friendly with the husband and the wife. However the husband recently confided in me that he is having an affair and he swore me to secrecy. I feel terrible for his wife because she is a good friend but he is also. It's a mess.

Assistant: Oh wow, that's a really tough situation!  To be honest, I am very glad I am not in your situation.  I can sympathize with you, but I can't really offer advice because I don't know the specific situation.  I'm not sure how to make things better, or how you should handle it.  I guess I would ask myself, what do you want to come out of this?

Assistant: The wife and the husband both are good friends with you and trust you. If you disclose that the husband is cheating on his wife then it will have a negative impact on the wife.  But if you keep the information to yourself, the wife will be cheated by her husband.
