My other half's sister is having an affair...again.
She had one before, a few years ago, left her kids to be with this man but he didn't want her anymore and she returned to her husband.
He took her back but previous to that he was devastated.
They have been married over 20 years.
She confided in us when she'd had a few too many at a party and asked for her brother's approval!
Her brother, my other half, said he couldn't agree with what she is doing, for his own ex wife had an affair and broke his heart. She said she understood that but that this was the real thing. However, the man she is having an affair with is also married with a daughter and says they can't be together yet.
My OH thinks he is simply stringing her along and that it is all about sex and excitement.
But what really worries me and my OH is her husband. He has been through this already and the last time it crucified him. The secret is weighing heavily.
My OH has said that if, for example, his sister's hubby had known that his own ex wife was having an affair, he'd have wanted him to tell him and wouldn't have been happy finding out afterwards that he'd known all along.
But to tell him would cause utter hell! And he has tried talking to his sister, but of course, she won't listen.
Best to leave well alone? I don't know...what do you think?
