I would completely understand if I found out my husband had been cheating and then found out that a close friend had known for a while. I would respect him/her for keeping silent about it. My closest friend and I discuss absolutely everything, but if she told me something about my husband that I didn't know somehow I would feel inhibited and embarrassed.

No, but i would speak with him, and it doesn't have to be anything other than a friendly encounter. After all it could all be perfectly innocent, and you go steaming in and tell her, and all the while it's his cousin, niece, colleague, and you are the one with egg on your face, and a friend who probably won't thank you, or indeed speak with you again.
woofgang, the trouble is there is no innocent way to approach this even with a very good friend, as they will quiz you till you either blurt out what you saw, or think you saw, or indeed all the gory details, by which time you are in it up to your neck, and she won't thank you, and tick off another friendship go west
Mmm - well he picks up the kids on alternate days at the school gates - maybe I should say oh I saw you in (restaurant) the other day -what do you think of it? -and see his reaction? If he says oh yes I took my cousin/sister/whatever in there that will be great otherwise I think I will have to keep quiet but she's going through a bad patch at the moment with him and 'another woman' would explain a lot of bizarre behaviour.
No, I wouldn't because it would (a) be none of my business, and (b) it's impossible to judge what the relationship is just watching from a distance. However, as others have said, I would make darn sure he knew that I'd seen him, and probably would go over there and then and introduce myself as a friend of his wife's.
yes there is, em10, I would be quite surprised if a friend of mine had seen my husband and not said hi or felt that they couldn't mention it to me and that is how I would address it with a friend. OTOH If I was married to a man who cheated and a friend of mine knew and didn't tell me well that would bust up the friendship.
