Cartesian skepticism in such a world? Why or why not?

happens in "the Hot Chick" in each of the following theories: substance dualism,

4. Friend's wedding: Your best friend is about to get married with a woman he
has loved so much. The ceremony will be performed in one hour, but you have
seen, just before coming to the wedding, that your friend's fiancee has been
having an affair. Your friend's fiancee regrets so much that she swear she is
unlikely to cheat again, but on the other hand, if you tell your friend about
the affair, you will ruin his wedding. Would you, or would you not, tell your
friend of the affair? (Source: David Hopkins)
