Hello. Welcome back to the Weekend Gene Pool, which may finally be getting too big for its britches. I mean this personally. I’ve gone four pounds over the weight with which I am comfortable, so have embarked once again on a solution. No, I am not exercising more: I remain devoutly sedentary. (My basic athletic regimen, my default state of exercise, is the ordinary daily walking up and down two flights of stairs in my house. So, no. Instead, I have once again gone on a
I'd check in with the cheater first and give them 48 hours to confess. I'm not colluding in deceiving a friend. Also, no one really knows what's going on in a marriage unless they are in it, so when I check with the cheater, I'd come in gently. "What the hell are you doing? Stop fucking up."
Blackmail comes to mind or new friends. As to weight loss, I find wearing nothing but a smile does wonders. Also gives a whole new meaning to "Neighborhood Watch."
I really wouldn’t tell. I knew a relationship where the cheat-on had conducted a catastrophic cheat previously, that broke them up. They got back together but didn’t necessarily reconcile. Just saying, you don’t know that dinner or even flirting you observe is cheating, it may be harmless or a don’t ask don’t tell when flirting. You also don’t know if it’s hedging the direction of the relationship that isn’t the cheat-er’s fault.
You sure this was actual "cheating," as opposed to a polyamorous relationship ? Exactly how close are these friends ? If polyamory is abed, probably not something that likely would be shared. I'd tread very carefully about confronting anyone with anything.
Food-free diets are good. The "Lick It Off" program (not to be confused with the sex guide of the same name) using food-flavored or infused lickable pictures of food is particularly effective --- for three or four days. Amazing how quickly coated paper moves through the digestive system.This compares with the liquid-only Mediterranean diet (boiling suggested) and the Lake Chaubunagungamaug diet, which only requires you to pronounce the name five times before each meal. Then, of course, there's the always popular scale-free program. Also found when living in NYC, strictly following "The New York Times Rave Restaurant Review" diet definitely cut down on dinners. As an aside, you may notice that "Founding" doohickey now next to my display name. I had no choice. But the extra 50 bucks is worth having Fluffy back, even with one ear.
LANON (the anonymous librarian) And I went to my doctor several years ago and had lost about 25 pounds and he asked me: "Why did you lose weight?" I said: "You asked me to." And yes, he remembered that when I was about ten pounds over. I told him I had cut out snacks and had a very small evening meal since then. "Do not lose any more." he said then. But the next year was about ten pounds down and last year about five and I will see what happens in May. Not so funny (ha ha) but it does seem odd. So does being 83 this year.
The arrangements of their marriage are none of my business. Maybe it’s not cheating! If, however, the closer spouse said things about the unshakable fidelity or their beloved, I would confront the cheater. No ultimatum, bc again, not my place, but I would make it clear that I thought they were a piece of shit if they don’t stop it.
It happened. I was much better friends with the victim. I did tell her I saw her husband eating out with a woman. There were no other details to tell. She must have had some suspicion as that is all I had to say. They divorced. He married the other woman; and later another woman. She has thanked me over the year for my revelation.

I answered “I think not”, and I freely admit that the reason is cowardice.
Gene, my wife saw the picture at the top of today's Gene Pool and wants to know where you get your pedicures.
