This didn't happen to me but a friend of mine. She found out that her sister's husband was cheating on her sister with another woman (his secretary - I know...what a cliche!) Anyway, when she found out she went & confronted her brother-in-law. She told him if he didn't tell her sister she would tell her herself. It worked. He told his wife about the affair, they're in therapy now, etc. Anyway, I was wondering if this happened to your sister (or brother, or best friend, whoever...someone you were close to) would you give the cheating person a chance to confess or would you go straight to your loved one & tell them yourself?

Giving the cheater the chance to confess is the best option. The other scenario could play out in an ugly confrontation of she lied..he lied and the wife would end up not knowing who to trust. The tattle tale sister could end up being resented for starting bs in the sisters marriage if he called her a liar. I would suggest a cheater confess and man up to their misdeeds.

I have fortunately never had this happen to me, but I know that I would have to do the same. I definitely wouldn't want to be the person to crush my close friend/family member, but if their spouse wouldn't do it, I definitely wouldn't be able to just say forget it and not say anything.

It would really depend on how close I was to the one being cheated on. If I was real close I would just tell them. If I wasn't so close to them, but still wanted them to know I would do what she did and force him/her to tell their spouse. Sometimes it is best to stay out of things like this when you are going to hurt someone. If you tell them yourself they lash out at you, s owhat she did was the right thing.
