i've gotten close to my boyfriend's brother and now he's like a brother to me too. the hard thing for me is i know he's cheating on his girlfriend. she's a nice girl and i don't want her hurt. the worst part is, i know exactly what she's going through. except she doesn't know. they say she's the type that gets upset about the little things, so something like her finding out about this would be like an a-bomb. plus, they have a house and two little kids. i don't want their kids growing up with separated parents. i want to tell her, but in some ways it might be better for her not to know. what's the right thing to do?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
There's probably more cons than pros to telling her what's going on.
If you do tell her and it turns out he wasn't cheating then you run the risk of 3 people hating you for causing problems within 2 families and a 2 relationships.
If you do tell and it turns out that you were right then you still run the risk of these 3 people hating you for meddling and more than one relationship may end because of it.
Realistically, even though you are in a relationship with the guys brother, their relationship is non of your business, just as your relationship is no-one else business either. In all cases you are "the bringer of bad news" and it's not normally a favorable position.
If you REALLY feel that you need to talk to someone about it, it might be better if you talk to your BF about it first. But like I said....concrete evidence to support you claim is the clincher in all of this. Make sure that whatever you may have witnessed wasn't something innocent first.
