I'm not sure. On one hand if it was my DH I would want someone to tell me so I wouldn't keep being the fool, but on the other hand if the two of you are not really firneds she might accuse you of making it up, or she might just feel very embarassed, so that could make your life at work a hell.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

It's hard because she is one of these BRAGGY women who are always going on about what their DH's bought them and how great they are and tries to put my DH down (who works with us too).

It's so tempting to bring her down a peg or two, but I know that's not the reason I should do it.

I keep thinking about if things were reversed would I want to know from her. Chat Icon



IMO, most people who do nothing but BRAG are the ones that have the issues. They are bragging for their own insecurites.

I'd DEF stay out of it, she'll find out eventually (if she doesnt already know)........

I would stay far far far away from this one.

If it was me and the situation was reversed, I would not want to find that out from her.

I would stay out of it.... especially since you are not close to her and don't even particularly like her. You don't know how people will take this sort of thing, she could turn it around and take it out on you saying you made it up, etc.

If she was a close friend, I might want to tell her though.



I agree!



Me too!

Re: Ethical Question...to tell or not to tell?

Just given your relationship with her I don't think you should talk to her about it - so on that front I think staying out of it is the best way to go.

But, as a married woman, my heart goes out to her. GOD FORBID my dh were ever to do something even remotely like that I would want to know so I could get out immediately! Just knowing myself I would probably find some other way to warn her like set up an anonymous email acct and send her an email or something as a concerned stranger. I feel she deserves to know what a total and complete LOSER LOSER her dh is!

I feel the same way. I would hate for people to whisper behind my back knowing my husband is cheating on me. Not cool!!!!

I would stay out of it. You don't need the aggravation - particularly at a place were you are for at least 8 hours.

I'm sure it will make the bragging sound a little more hollow. If anything, I would feel bad for her.

Re: Ethical Question...to tell or not to tell?

If she were a close friend I would I'd call her husband out on it.

But since she is not a close a friend, I would simply leave it be...

I think she probably knows there are problems in her marriage and that's why she act like she does. It sucks to be married to someone like that.



i agree. people who carry on like that usually are over compensating for that lacks in their marriage.

still, id stay away from it and forget you saw it.

Re: Ethical Question...to tell or not to tell?

hells to the no.

if he's that much of a moron to be seen in public, she'll find out sooner or later (if she doesn't already know)

and even if she is a b1tch, that really blows.
