To not tell her he cheated

[sibling3]

Name changed for this.

So my DH went out with his group of close friends at the weekend he came home and told me that one of his friends got really drunk and admitted to cheating on his girlfriend with somebody he works with (for background this particular friend has a big history of cheating and met his current partner by cheating with her on his old girlfriend) they live together and have a baby together now.

I am not close to his girlfriend as I was really close to his last girlfriend so when it all came out I just stayed clear of them (I will be civil to her if I ever see her but we don't socialise much).

My partner has told me not to get involved as it isnt my place and I don't really know her. He text my DH the next day and said please do not tell anybody. I think I would want to know if it was my DH?

Opinions please???

Don't dry snitch! It's never worth it.

I wouldn't say anything.

Also your DH shouldn't be out there saying "don't get involved" to you, when he went and blabbed in the first place! If I was his friend I wouldn't be too happy that a so-called confident is out there airing my biz.

I wouldn't say anything. You'll be putting your dh in a really shit situation. You don't know this woman...forget it.

Zip it - and keep it zipped.

He got with his current girlfriend by cheating on his ex with her.

So she knows full well what he’s capable of.

Don’t say anything.

Don't say anything, especially as your DH has asked you not to. That could become a massive issue between you, also because you can't keep it zipped!

*He got with his current girlfriend by cheating on his ex with her.

Exactly this!

Thanks everyone. I will just forget he ever told me. I wouldnt want to put my husband in that situation.

Definitely don’t say anything. It will sound gleeful at best, because he has done what they did to your friend, and it’s not as if you two are even close. Just stay out of it.

You could still tell her, although it's unlikely she will believe you. She does know what he is capable of though being the woman he cheated on his ex with, so it shouldn't be that shocking.

Sounds like karma considering how they got together in the first place. They both sound like arseholes, I would leave them to it.

What goes around comes around. Keep out of it.

She isn’t a close friend & She knows what he was like when she met him.
I’d just keep out of it, your husband told you in confidence and it’s not fair on him if you spread the news

I would stay well out of TBH ! You will upset your DH if he finds out and its nothing to do with you really.If she finds out later she wont be surprised !

If she was a friend I'd tell. Under the circumstances I'd keep my mouth shut. You don't particularly owe her and your DH will be in deep shit.

What is ‘dry snitching’

Karma on her for being the other woman to start with

Well you go with a cheater expect to be cheated on, but No I wouldn't say anything.

I think he's also at fault, @forestYeti.

If she was a dear friend, I would tell her.
She's nothing to you, so keep yourself out of it.
Mind you, I'd be very tempted to tell his ex!!

I suppose a little bit of me would feel good telling her considering what they did to my friend. I also hate the thought of him getting away with it and putting "look at my perfect family" posts on social media but you are all right. For my DH I shall keep my gob shut

She'll find out one day, though, Sibling 3.

I'd probably tell his last girlfriend.... tell her she's well rid of the cheating arsehole.

Maybe your blabbermouth DH should have kept his gob shut too.

It's not your business or anybody else''s how/why the previous relationship ended, it ended. That's all you need to know. The current partner deserves the same respect and care that you would give to anybody else.
