I'm really close with my husband's family (my in-laws). I don't have much of a family myself so, I consider them my family.
My mother-in-law told me a "big secret" and now it has been gnawing at me. Her brother-in-law (my uncle-in-law) asked her to have an affair with him!
The uncle-in-law is married to my father-in-law's sister and has been for many years. My mother-in-law of course, said NO WAY! But, she hasn't told anyone else besides me that he asked her for an affair. If she told her husband then all heck would break loose!
My aunt-in-law is the most lovely sweetest lady that you ever could meet. I guess that is why my mother-in-law didn't tell her...she didn't want to break her heart.
But, for me, I feel like it is the opposite. I hate being around such a sweet lady and pretending that everything is just fine. She deserves to know the truth that her husband is a creep. I almost feel guilty not telling her.
On the other hand, I tell myself to mind my business because I don't want to get involved. I don't want to be responsible for any blow-up of the family that it could cause.
I feel so torn. Does anyone have some advice? Thanks!
