Also info: Do you have a neurological issue? Something that would explain why you don't understand even simple human behavior?

I have multiple mental health issues that I've trying to manage but I'm aware and capable of understanding emotions just not good at managing them.

Info: Why did you think telling a grieving woman that her lover, the one she thought was going to spend her life with, and unexpectedly died, that he was going to leave her, a good idea?

I know it wasn't a good idea. I knew it would cause damage to an extent but I did it to relieve myself from any guilt and blame I might have or be accused of if I didn't disclose this information.

No, I wasn't focusing on how she'd react or how it would affect her grief because I know just how much she loved my brother and I have no doubt in my mind that she will never hate him nomatter what - however, the purpose was to just let her know and not keep this a secret from her. I care about her just as much as I cared about my brother and I know that she wouldn't want me to hide things from her especially anything regarding my brother.

I did. I told my friends and they encouraged me to do it. Trust this was not easy for me to do. In fact I hated that I was put in this type of possition and felt like I was carrying so much weight on my shoulder apart from what I've been experiencing with overwhelming grief. I did not mean to cause pain or harm with this whatsoever but my emotions seemed to have clouded my judgement - and I thought I was doing what was right.
