She Caught Her Brother With Another Woman And Plans To Tell Her Sister-In-Law About His Affair
This 25-year-old woman has an older, 31-year-old brother who got married to a super close friend of hers – making her and her friends sisters-in-law now.
“We met in college and were roommates, which is how they met. They got married two years ago and have a little girl, my niece, who is the light of my life,” she recalled.
However, after she decided to go shopping at an outlet mall just yesterday, her entire view of her brother’s marriage was flipped upside down.
That’s because, after traveling about an hour to shop at the mall, she spotted her brother holding hands with another woman – who was not his wife.
She and her brother made eye contact, too, and she could tell that he began to panic. Then, after they began arguing at the mall, he wound up begging her not to tell his wife about his affair because he wanted to come clean himself.
“The woman didn’t say anything but she didn’t look shocked, so I suspect she knew she was the other woman,” she revealed.
Anyway, the whole situation left her feeling really torn because she realized that it was not really her place to speak about her brother’s marriage and tell his wife about the cheating.
Yet, on the other hand, her sister-in-law is her best friend and the mother of her niece – who she loves so much.
“And I’m afraid that if she finds out that I knew about the affair and didn’t tell her, not only will it ruin our friendship, which is important to me, but also restrict my access to my niece, which would really suck,” she explained.

So, she wound up texting her brother and telling him that he had until Friday to tell his wife about the affair or else she was going to spill the beans. Apparently, she and her sister-in-law have a movie night every Friday, and she doesn’t want to actively keep a secret from her while they’re hanging out.
Her brother just “read” her text message, though, before calling her and asking her to cancel the movie night. He claimed that he needed more time to “work out” what he was going to say.
However, she refused to do that and flat-out told her brother no. Afterward, she proceeded to text her sister-in-law and ask if they could meet up for lunch sooner – before their movie night.
“I’m going to tell her then. I will not be telling my brother we’re meeting for coffee, and to be honest, chances are she wouldn’t tell him beforehand either,” she said.
Still, before she officially lets the cat out of the bag, she’s not sure if telling her sister-in-law about her brother’s affair herself is really the right thing to do.
Do you think her brother should be the one to tell his wife, or does his wife have a right to know about the affair immediately? What would you do in her shoes?
