You obviously don't understand the concept of healthy boundaries.
Putting yourself in the middle of someone else's relationship is neither smart, nor healthily protective. It's called butting in where you don't belong.

I don't need to tell him why, or make a big deal about secrets or personal issues or family or boundaries.

Actually, it's not your place to say anything to anyone else but your friend, but definitely not her husband/boyfriend.

I'm just gonna say, "You dickwad, how dare you make her feel like anything but a goddess!" I wouldn't be a good friend if I lurked quietly in the background and made catty remarks instead.

No, you should act as a confidant to your friend, instilling trust, and providing healthy, nurturing support. Not go behind their back like a middle man. Learning where your place is and where your place is not is very helpful in respecting boundaries.
