It is not your job to do that she needs to tell her own husband what happened not you.

Its HER that needs to tell him and she just needs to sit him down and tell him and be honest about everything

you need to give her (and her poor husband) your support and tell her that she has to be the one to tell him. there is nothing worse than being told something big like that by a third party person and feeling as everyone but you knew what was going on.

I agree with tishthefish but personally I wouldnt have a problem breaking the news to someone; Especially if the guy happened to be a friend of mine;
Hang out.. drink.. then have a serious convo with him about the pregnant thing o.O
Or just leave it to the chick to deal with her own problems like an adult :)

If she was big enough to have sex with another man while married, she needs to be big enough to own up to it. Tell her you are NOT telling him. She really needs to grow up.

You should not say anything, you will regret getting involved in this situation. It is not fair to you that your so called friend asked you to do this for her. That is if your friend asked you to do it for her and that it is not the other way around. Friends do not asked to do things like that. If you were asked you should reevaluate your friendship.

She needs to tell him and deal with it herself. It's not your job. You can be there for both and highly suggest they get counseling if he doesn't leave her. The one that's going to suffer the most is the baby. Perfect example it doesn't pay to cheat. By the way she's not much of a best friend to get you involved in her mess. She did the dirt and wants you to clean it up. Good luck

Get out of it and let her do it. You are in danger of blowing it with both of them.

well everyone has a nice and pretty little view but the point that everyone is missing is if she cheated on him she apparently dosn't love him anyways soooo you shouldnt support her because she knew what she was doing she knew the consequences of her actions she trying to manipulate you to be her back up for her f*** up!!!!!

Ask yourself, what would a grown-up do? This is, after all, an adult situation.

I agree with almost everyone who has commented on this, you should not have to take care of her dirty work, yeah she may be your best friend and everything but she was the one who messed around and got knocked up, she was the big girl who wanted to play games now let her be the big girl and tell him herself, she should at least have the respect for him to do that.Im not saying dont give her your support and comfort im just saying dont take responsibility for someone elses actions.

Agreed with like everyone. It's not up to you. As her best friend, hold her accountable. Friends need to call each other out when they screw up. If your best friend can't tell you to grow up and take responsibility for their actions who can? Do what is right by everyone involved, including yourself. Her actions, her consequences. Be there for her in any way that you can, be present when she tells him if there is fear of some horrible reaction. But, it needs to come from her. Good luck :)
