need your advice..pls!

This is like a double sided sword. If you tell her also, you'll be at fault, if you dont tell her also same. On the other hand your mom told you this in confidence and it is not a good thing to break her trust in you. Same way you have a responsibility by your friend and her family. After all, having an affair is anyway bad and such things should be brought to the notice of the innocent party asap. So, talk to your mom and choose the best option. We cannot agree to this type of thing because the person is a family friend, that is my view. I will tell you what I did with my own bro. Several years back, my bro was having problems with his wife and he was slightly planning to go with this other woman. One thing with my bro, he lets me know things about him and doesnt hide. Anyway, when I got to know about this, i was furious. He was having two kids and what ever said and done, my sis in law is a good woman. The problems they have are not that bad for him to run to another woman. So, i told my mom, and she took all steps to get him away from the woman. I did not take his side even though he is my own brother. Now they are back to normal and living a marvelous life. So, think about every thing before decide. Good luck.

this is hard. i hope you haven't made a promise to your mom not to tell your friend (even if she told you not to). that will make it harder. coz you'll be torn between telling the truth to your friend and keeping a secret for your mom. with all considerations aside, your friend and her family need to know. this is not a simple matter that anyone can just brush aside. it can break a family or ruin someone's life. actually, maybe it already has. should the situation be reversed, would you want your friend to tell you or keep it a secret from you? knowing what you know and you purposely kept quiet about it, wouldn't you be hurt if you were in her position? i'm for telling the truth, no matter what.

i am surprised to listern why your mother wants to hide this. please be honest otherwise other family's members will spoil and your soul will never forgive you. thanks.

I think I am not in the position to tell you what to do. I admit, ur situation is hard coz you are caught in between people who are both close to you. But all i can say is examine and weigh the consequences of your actions. Whatever you think is right, will do good and will help the situation then do it. Don't be afraid to take action. Weigh both the negative and positive outcome and whatever is high, then that is what you will follow. But for now, just follow what your mother tells you coz she knows what's best for the situation. If you will not follow her maybe you will be blame and your mom will be upset coz you did not obey. Just trust your judgment and instincts. Pray for both parties!! Let the moment come in its due time.
