He Never Told

A married woman drinks a mouthful of wine, and shortly afterwards tells her husband's oldest friend about her affair: every detail, every date, every lie. The friend is honest and loyal, and he shakes her husband's hand every week. Yet he never says a word of it to him, and he never will. Why?
