If he went running to the blokes wife to dob him in that’s a bit dickish but could still be forgiven.

So for what I would do in Tommy’s position, I’d absolutely give it to you at every opportunity. I definitely wouldn’t go running to tell but I also make it very plain to my friends don’t ever put me in a position to lie for you.
A bit dickish? No, it's far worse than that.
Never get in the middle of a married couple.

Couples stay together in totally loveless relationships for the kids, husband still has sexual needs and so steals some time for himself with a wl. Is he having an extra-marital affair while the wife believes she's in a loving marriage? No. He's taking some time for himself before he goes home to yet another shitfight. Just one scenario, but one from real life.
Point is, you never know what's going on in the background, so best to stay out of it and keep it to yourself. Maybe the wife knows and is fine with it, maybe he is just a dog who can't help himself, none of it concerns you.

That's why the people I call friends wouldn't utter a word, we have a mutual respect, sure we rip shit out of each other but what is said between us stays between us. Not so much honour amongst thieves, but just basic decency.
