Dear LFTP: husband's brother may be cheating, tell the sister-in-law?
- Should I tell my sister-in-law that my husband's brother may be cheating?
A listener says her husband works out of town with his married brother and suspects the brother is cheating; she wonders whether telling her sister-in-law would be overstepping. The hosts are decisive: truth is truth, tell her. Nathaniel advises giving the brother-in-law one week to tell his wife himself first, producing the segment's tagline: 'one week to speak or I'm gonna leak.' A host notes the advice is moving unusually fast. The Secular answer is read, calling the brother-in-law a conscienceless braggart and joking that karma won't protect the wife from STIs, then pivoting to ask why she didn't lead with the fact that her husband may be cheating on her.
