Should I let my Sister-in-Law know?

My Husband and I woke up one night with very similar dreams about my Sister-in-Law's new boyfriend cheating on her. It has happened to her in the past and this new relationship has blossom quite quickly in front of our eyes and I am very happy for her. It is the first time that we have similar dreams simultaneously especially about someone we barely know. My Husband wants me to tell her about it but I don't think it's a good idea. How am I suppose to casually just bring it up without upsetting her? I'm not a meddler in anybodies relationship but he thinks otherwise and say she has a right to know.

I think we're making nothing out of something. What would you do?

    My advice is to accept that it's just a dream. It means very little in your SIL's life. It speaks more to what is going on in your life and in your husbands life.

    We often dream based on the daily stresses we experience. Or on our fears or concerns. It may be that the two of you are concerned for her and hoping this sudden and newly blossomed relationship COULD end badly. The truth is - it COULD end badly or it COULD be a success.

    If you say anything about your dream you are only helping set her up for failure. This is HER life and it's HER decision with whom to be. Her choice will lead her down one of three roads: Successful relationship; UNsuccessful relationship; or a mundane relationship where she lies around wondering about dreams she's had about you and your husbands relationship, wondering if she should tell you he's gay.

    Hope this helps.
