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

I would say in that kind of situation that I can’t keep their secrets for them. It is very unfair on you and your partner. You do have to question their motivation for telling you at this point and not your partner.

@spanishviola

i think it's maybe because they've named their baby after the Grandfather-not actually bio grandfather & maybe she feels the baby's mum should know.

why I'm not sure, it really doesn't matter. They named him after the man who loved him.
