Should she reveal pregnant friend's adultery?

DEAR AMY: My best friend and I have been friends for 15 years. She married young and has had a rocky marriage. I have been a very supportive friend. Two years ago, my friend and her husband separated. He lives four hours away from her, although they are still married and say they are working on their marriage. She makes frequent visits to see him. About a month ago, my friend confided that she'd had a one-night stand. At the time, I expressed my disappointment in her behavior and I encouraged her to tell her husband and attempt to work things out. Now she's pregnant and is pretty sure the baby is not her husband's. She is planning not to tell her husband about the indiscretion and wants to let him think the baby is his. I feel this is wrong. Should I tell her husband? I feel he deserves to know.Confused in TNDEAR CONFUSED: Your friend's pregnancy will give her many months to figure out how to do the right thing.

I could imagine that this separated husband with a rocky marriage might have some questions about his wife's pregnancy.

You should continue to be a supportive friend by urging her to be truthful with her husband. If you choose to inform her husband of the possibility that this unborn child isn't his (you obviously don't know for sure who fathered this baby), then you can expect your friendship to end.

If this baby isn't her husband's, the child's biological father needs to be informed.

DEAR AMY: Is it rude to offer someone a tissue? I ride public transportation to and from work, and more times than not there is someone near me sniffling or sneezing. I carry a small package with me.

DEAR RIDER: Not only is it not rude to offer a tissue, it is very polite, and I thank you in advance.
