What should I do? Should I confront my cousin’s wife, tell my cousin, or keep my mouth shut?
Today I was leaving the parking lot of BJ’s at 1PM. My attention was drawn to a black SUV with an opened door. At first I thought that someone accidentally left it open or that someone had broken into it because I didn’t see anyone on the outside putting in packages. So I slowed down. Then I was able to see that there were two people in the front seats of the SUV kissing and caressing. 40ish looking. What the f***? It surprised me that they weren’t teenagers and that they were making out in broad daylight. A few things went through my mind. One being that they must not be married. There’s a reason why they were doing that in the parking lot. The SUV looked familiar and then I recognized that it was my cousin’s wife with another man. What the hell! I was so upset that I almost hit a car. I literally started talking to myself out loud. Is she f****** crazy? I called my wife and she told me to stay out of it. My cousin and I are close like brothers and I was the best man at his wedding about seven years ago. My dilemma is, what is the right thing to do? I don’t want to get in the middle of it, but I think my cousin should know, or maybe he already knows. He works two jobs to support his family (including two sons), and they recently built a beautiful new home in the suburbs. I don’t want to get involved because they could possibly break up. It isn’t for me to judge, but I strongly feel like I am doing something wrong by not telling my cousin.
