K, so my husband and I rent a floor from his brother (let's call him Mr.X). Mr. X has a girlfriend (Ms. Y) who's an absolute sweetheart. But since we moved in a month ago, Mr. X has had at least three different females (NOT Ms. Y) in and out of the house. My question is, when is it ok to discreetly tell her that everything might not be on the up and up with Mr. X? IS it ok to do that?

I would say if it is bugging you and or your husband to the point whereas maybe you both feel compelled to say something, it should be conveyed to Mr. X. Simply say that it sort of bugs you to know that Ms. Y is not being told the truth so therefore, unless he cools you may just tell Ms. Y. But of course this is only if you are close to Ms. Y., outside of that reasoning there is really noting you can do but avoid Ms. Y as then you will get too close and find you cannot lie to her. Good luck as Mr. X seems to be the horrible one in all of this.

It's not ok to tell her. It's not between you and her, it's between him and her. You don't know all the details in their life. or what going on. You see only what you're shown. Even if he is cheating on her, it's not for you to tell her anything.Keep out and just be nice as usual when she comes by. You two are not best friends, and better stay out.

But see that's the thing, I DO consider her to be a friend, one I'd like to be close to. That's why I feel bad for not telling her.
