I feel like a complete and utter arsehole 
Now allow me to elaborate. My closest friend has been going out with the same girl, on and off, for nearly ten years. In those ten years me and his girlfriend have become close friends too. In the time they've been together my friend has cheated on his girlfriend on a few occasions (hence the "on and off") and every time she's taken him back. In the past, when he cheated, the only major repercussion was that they'd split up for a bit. Now they're living together and he's cheating on her again. usually the girls he cheats on his girlfriend with know he has a girlfriend so know what they are getting in to. this time he's cheating with a really sweet girl, who we met on a random night out, who thinks she's met the perfect man and has no idea he lives with his long term girlfriend. Now my friends girlfriend knows he's cheating on her and it looks like the whole situation is going to go tits up!
Ok, so there's the background. now, the reason i feel like an arsehole is that i know i should have told his girlfriend what he was up to. I'm mean she's one of my closest friends, so i owe her that much. But i didn't i lied to her and i covered for my friend. And the reason i didn't tell her...i didn't want the two of them to split up. I like spending time with the two of them because we always have a good time together. and i knew if i told her i'd end up loosing my best friend as he wouldn't be best pleased if i did tell her. Though it's probable that i'll loose another good friend by not telling her. Oh well, i guess it's a moot point now...
I guess in a way i should be happy if they split up because i've had feelings for my friends girlfriend since i first met her ( i nearly asked her out once, but i ended up listening to the voice in my head that said she wouldn't be interested). Not that i would make any kind of move on her.
Sorry for the long, rambling post, i just needed to get this off my chest.

Sorry, for not being much help. But yeah, it's good to get it off your chest at least, like you said.
