Talking to him is the best idea. Sometimes cheaters do it because they are wired that way. Sometimes it is a cry for help because their relationship isn't where they would want it to be. Guys aren't very good at talking to each other about problems, so sometimes they can fall easily for someone with a sympathetic ear. Most people really have no idea about how to conduct a successful relationship, and if he is having relationship problems he might see no way out or how to fix it. You might be able to help or you might not. Beyond telling him you know and offering to maybe listen to his problems, I would stay out of it as much as possible however as you have your own relationship to think of.
My mom had major issues with alcoholism in her marriage to my dad. She had been abused as a child, and it messed her up. They still could have made it if they had really talked about stuff instead of her bottling it up and her cheating.
