Dear Jade, A friend of mine told me that her boss was having an affair with one of her co-workers. As it turns out, it's my neighbor. She's married with children. I know both her and her husband. What should I do? Should I mind my own business or shoul I let her know that I know? Karen HE SAID: Dear Karen: Do yourself a favor, go with your first instinct and stay out of other people’s “affairs". Regardless of the existence of an affair, there will be unintended consequences when you meddle in other people’s business. Perhaps your neighbor is already divorced. Perhaps she is separated from her husband. Even if you are correct about the situation, go right ahead and pat yourself on the back. Telling her that you know will surely make you look like a fool. By the way, don’t forget to pick up your kids from soccer practice in your minivan. |

SHE SAID: I don't think you need to tell her that you know about the affair. However, you should let her know that you are a close friend with someone at her work. Maybe drop hints about some of the office gossip. Maybe she might talk with you about it. All in all, it is really not your business so you shouldn't tell her husband. BUT MAMA SAID: How close are you with this neighbor? Do you only greet each other in passing? Also, are you actually concerned with the situation or do you merely want her to know that you know what is going on? I think the best thing is to keep your mouth closed about the whole thing unless she brings it up to you and that means not spreading the gossip to others in the neighborhood either. |
