A woman told her sister she is having an affair with her boss and is not using contraception because a pregnancy would please her husband. The husband is a volunteer firefighter who has wanted children and the couple has been trying for about four years. The confessor has irregular periods, financial constraints, and regrets about past ambitions. The sister who heard the confession feels sick, betrayed, and conflicted about whether to record, confront, or ignore the revelation. Caregiving responsibilities and recent family losses intensify obligations. Decisions about disclosure rely on the relationships involved, potential harm, and practical consequences for all parties.
My sister just gleefully confessed to me that she is having an affair with her boss.She has been bored in her marriage since her husband started being a volunteer fire fighter and been away from home more often.She isn't using protection because it "doesn't matter" if she gets pregnant or not because her husband will be excited about a baby.He has wanted to be a dad since day one and they have been trying for about four years.
I lost my husband two years ago and moved back home. I worked and spent the rest of the time caring for my mother and grandmother. My sister rarely helps beyond coming over for dinner. What do I do here? Some part of me wants to pretend the conversation never happened, but I know if my sister decides to declare a pregnancy, I will not be able to pretend anymore. Should I record my sister or confront her over text? Why even tell me?
