The problem I have is that my friend has cheated on her on at least 17 different occasions. She has known about some of them and has been asking if there has been any more. I've lied to her and said no. About two years ago he said he was getting a divorce which everyone agrees is the right thing to do, but they haven't done it yet and it look like they are getting back together while he is still messing around with other girls. Should I tell her about all of them so that she will push for the divorce?

reader, anonymous, writes (29 November 2007): I would suggest that you tell your guy friend that you are not at all impressed with how he is conducting his life and you can see that his wife is going to get badly hurt by his behaviour. I would also suggest that you say to him that this is putting you in a dreadful position and you want him to step up and stop playing an asshole. Give him the opportunity to get real with his lady and tell him if she asks again you are going to have to tell her the truth about what he has been up to. It is not fair on you or HER for him to carry on and put you in this horrible position.
Say that you may have to come clean if he does not and that you are no longer going to lie for him.
