are you friendly with the lovely girlfriend?
If so you could initiate a chat with her and try and console her as best as you can. I don't see no reason why you shouldn't tell her what happened, after all she will find out sooner or later, besides it doesn't sound like a good start to a marriage (being engaged and cheating is not right).
It's so terrible. What was he thinking? Have you spoken to him (texting is not quite the same) to tell him how stupid he has been?

tammybear · 08/11/2004 15:29

I think you should talk to her brother first, and see if you can talk him round to being honest with her. She deserves that at least! How terrible for her.

I think that if you want to protect your relationship with her, perhaps you should tell her. If you don't and she finds out that you knew, she might not want to talk to you again. I know that I would feel terribly betrayed if a friend didn't tell me about something like that. The way I view it, it doesn't matter that he is your brother, he's done something majorly wrong so don't let your loyalties get over that fact. He'll still be there at the end of the day, whereas your friend might not.

needtobeamummy · 08/11/2004 15:38

how awful what has dp cousin said on the matter surely she has to take somekind of responsibilty for her actions afterall she knew he was taken, what kind of woman is she! sorry this makes me mad.

What a terrible position to put you in. I think you should talk to your brother first and try to get him too see sense - that he should tell her properly why he doesn't want to marry her any more. It may be that your email made him realise that he doesn't really love her if he can do that to her, and therefore he has finished it. You need to get him to understand what a terrible position he has now put you in, and that you should not be the one to tell her that he cheated.

It's not really your business though at the end of the day. If it is over, then that is the end of it - but he owes her an explanation, and you the chance to still be her friend without having to lie to her. Him telling her the truth would enable her to see what a t&$ser he is would mean you could do what a friend is meant to and comfort her through it.

Good luck with it. She's better off without him by the sounds of things
