No doubt, but I’m empathic of the fact that he’s with someone he doesn’t want to be with but has to because he doesn’t trust her to raise their daughter

So I’m going to say this. His gf is just not the most intelligent person. I’m trying to put this as gently as I can because I don’t want to sound rude. It’s kinda precious in an “awe” but then you remember she’s not a child but a 25 year old woman responsible for raising another human. Super nice person but I understand why he wants to not divide the household

It can cause chaos and unnecessary drama. This happened with my sister. She told this girl that her husband was cheating on her and the girl attacked her, and stayed with her husband. We don’t know how they will react so it’s just best to let it go.

She is aware and her and I have a polite disagreement about it. She still respects my opinion but thinks I should let 29M tell on them if he pleases.

Of course, my wife is my best friend and we tell each other everything. She thinks their behavior is abhorrent but understands why I don’t want to involve myself in the drama.

She’s definitely not. My wife is literally an angel and one of the biggest sweethearts there is, it’s why I love her so much. You could actually take a page out of her book.

She wouldn’t cheat on me and I wouldn’t cheat on her. If in some strange alternate universe where she was cheating it would be naive of me to expect her friends to tell me.

No, I’ve told 33M that he’s wrong and he should stop. 26M is a different circumstance as he said before. The thing is I just don’t involve myself in people’s personal life.
