Did I really do somthing wrong?

Um no sounds like she's starving for attention....If she has to, she'll lie to your brother to get his attention, good bad or indifferent. Your entitled to tell your brother anything you know simply because you two are related. I don't care what she says or how she says it, she was in the wrong and feels betrayed because you were suppose to give her the attention and let your brother give her attention as well.

Yes and no. She told you what she did in confidence, but your first loyalty is to your brother, and not to her, and also you were concerned about her safety (she has a drinking problem and needs serious help). Techinically it may have been the wrong thing to do, but it was for the right reasons, and it would have be the *more worse* thing to simply sit back and let her destroy her health, her marriage, and your brother's heart.

Philosophically and legally, you are NOT required to keep a secret if your believe it endangers someone's safety or that a crime is being committed. This fits into that... more or less. So you did, ultimately, in the long run, overall, do the right thing. Let your sister-in-law that you are sorry for not keeping her secret, but you were trying to act in her best interests.

No, you did not. She is playing games with your brother, and it sounds like what you are doing is simply watching out for his best interests.

If she is going to act this way, you may find that you need to pick a side (brother, or brother's wife) and stick to it. Let your loyalties decide your future actions.

Now, this is nothing but my opinion, but someone who acts the way your brother's wife is acting is either very immature, or has some serious issues. You might want to consider if you want to spend time with her at all, or if it is less of a hassle just to stay away from her. I realize she is your friend, but when friends start messing with family dynamics, things can get messy.

Good luck.

You didn't do anything wrong, after all you had good intentions.But it would have been best to first see if she was going to tell the truth but if you did notice she wasn't telling the truth than you can confront her and talk to her about her decision and not your brother. Give her the chance to do what's right and if she don't and she continues to do the same thing again than you have every right to tell your brother because that just shows that she is not a honest person.

What your pal did to the cat replaced into called animal cruelty. He can serve some detention center time if he's caught doing it. Why are you even acquaintances with this guy? or perhaps striking with this ill 15 year old. He sound like worry to me. Your pal is putting on an act, basically because of the fact he's nic and well mannered. locate yet another pal that may not a jerk.....

No, you're just looking out for your brother. His wife should have known that you'd tell him everything. If she was so drunk, she probably didn't think about this at the time, but that's her own fault. She's mad at you for telling your brother the truth, because he's probably now mad at her. She's blaming you for this, but actually it's her own actions that have caused him to be mad at her, NOT you. If I was your brother, I would have wanted you to tell me, even though it may have hurt.

Well she told you something she thought she was telling you in confidence, regardless of whether it was true or not, she was expecting you to keep quiet, but you didn't. So yes, you did violate that.

Whether the ends justify the means, well.. I think that'd be more of an issue of personal feelings and morality. Is the value of keeping a secret more important than that of honesty? That'd be your call.

I believe that what you did was right. You did it for you brother, and he needed to know. Maybe she is dying for the attention of your brother and wanted you to do that. Or maybe she is trying to get someone turn against you. It all depend on what type of girl she is (maybe she is not even trying to do that at all) but something is going on here, maybe it would be best to stay out of it, but do not feel bad with what you did.

Honesty is always the best answer. She may be angry now but in time it will pass. In all honesty you should be angry at her for allowing herself to get drunk enough to cheat on your brother. It sounds like she needs to grow up a bit and appologize to you AND your brother. Hope it all works out :)

No. You did the right thing. It sounds as if you sister in-law has some issues and is seeking attention from your brother. He has the right to know what is going on so he can deal with it properly.
