Secret I wish I never knew

My partners family member told me that my partner wasn't actually biologically related to a close family member. My partner does not know about this. I was shocked to be told this and was told not to mention to him. I feel terrible knowing this and he doesn't. It really upsets me to think no one has told him. Should I tell him? I worry it will upset him and cause people to fall out with me, but I also feel terrible he doesn't know. I don't want him to find out one day and know I have also kept it from him. I really don't know what to do

Your loyalty is to your partner and this is not your secret to keep from them.

Depends who the close family member is. If it's his Dad they are unreasonable expecting you to keep that a secret. If it's Great Auntie Violet then not so much.
