Black Relationships : If you know your friend's man is cheating, should you tell?

I have a friend, a very good friend, who's boyfriend of over a year is actively cheating with random girls. This is not something I just heard. It is something that I know. As her friend, do I have an obligation to tell her, or should I let her find out for herself? She is very serious about him, and has told me that she is at a point in her life where she wants to settle down. She has spent a lot of time and effort on this relationship, and I hate to see her waste her time on a lost cause. What should I do?

[B]it depends on the kind of strength of your friendship...be careful, she may be mad at you for telling her, not to mention being embarassed._____justice[/B]

Well...

I think you should tell your friend. LQQk at it like this. If they have a sexual relationship,his cheating is putting her life in danger. With HIV and a host of other STD's she has a right to know. I mean wouldn't you want someone to tell you if you had a loaded gun pointed right at your head so that you can get out of the way??? Tell her, she may be mad, but when she finally sees for herself, she will b glad you did and see you for the true friend you are.

This was pretty much the prevailing thought in the other thread on this topic!
