Even if you win...you lose
When you put your own appearances ahead of truth, then you've failed as a friend and as an ethical human being, and you don't really deserve to keep that friendship anyway. It doesn't matter what happens if you act truthfully-- it matters that you take every step in YOUR control to protect your friend from wasting a HUGE part of his/her life with delusions about the quality of an important relationship.
I'd say if your friend has such a bad future spouse AND such a bad friend in you, the person's social life is bordering on fucked already, so maybe it doesn't really matter what you do.
