Dear S&H,


So yesterday while at fitar with my family, I noticed some tension between my brother and his wife. Of course I kept my mouth shut but later in the evening, my sister-in-law confided in me and told me they're having really bad problems and she hasn't told him yet but she's thinking of separating from him for awhile so they can figure things out. Me and her are really close so I understood why she came to vent to me since she usually does. But this is pretty serious and he's my brother at the end of the day! I feel so awkward because she asked me to stay quiet about it and not tell the family until she talks to him and her and my brother figure things out.

I know its not my place to talk to him but he's my brother and by his wife telling me, she obviously included me in their private matter...right? Plus my brother and I are also really close. I don't know what to do...I'm really in a bad position here, help!


Our recommendation? Stay out of it! Yeah she talked to you so if you want to talk to anyone you talk to her again and be upfront about what you just told us, like how she put you in a bad position. Good luck to you and your brother and his wife!

Cairo...help!
