I would much rather take the risk of damaging a friendship by telling a mate some uncomfortable truth that may save him a lot of heartache down the road, than I would maintain a friendship by retreating into a lie of omission.

Exactly. Chances are that the unfaithful partner will try it on with someone else anyway so the friend will eventually know that you are telling the truth even if they don't want to believe you.

Or to put it another way if your partner was being unfaithful, would you want your friends to hide it from you? I wouldn't.
