What do you do if you know a family member is having an affair and the wife has no idea why he is ending a 30 year marriage. Do you tell her or do you keep your mouth shut and let him hang himself?

alpha answered Friday March 5 2004, 10:18 pm: I would suggest going to the husband, and informing him that he should tell her the truth before she hears it somewhere else. If he asks whether you're going to tell her, say that you have no immediate plans to, but that you won't lie for him if she asks, and anyway, you can't guarantee that someone else won't volunteer the information.

Siren_Cytherea answered Wednesday March 3 2004, 9:08 pm: I say if the wife actually asks you if you know anything, speak up. But, if you feel that the wife needs to know what's going on, tell. This is only on a need-to-know basis. You probably don't want to get involved in this.

DruidX answered Wednesday March 3 2004, 6:09 pm: Normaly I would say keep your nose out of their bussiness, but it seems you are likly to do anything any way so, I would try and lessen the blow to her. Try and get him to tell her, it will probably be better coming from him rather than you [this is no offence to you, just if it where me i don't think i'd want to hear it from an out-side party]. Also I think knowing might give her some closure in the long run.
good luck whatever you do. [ DruidX's advice column | Ask DruidX A Question ]
