aaaahhhh, i hate to feel this way I am angry with my close couzin, he is cheating, he is so good hiding his unfaithfullness act, I want to confront him but I don't know how to start. I find out that he's real cheating because of the text messaging i'ved read. I do respect my bro a lot but what should i do, do i have to tell him that I know already his did or i just keep quiet.

Is they are living apart for 14 years! then there is no close relationship! why are they still married? I just don't understand! and who looks after the children?...this is a very strange kind of marriage I know people have to work abroad some times but 14 years?...in these circumstances some one is bound to cheat!

Very strange kind of marriage! it looks to me neither of them want to face the situation, and she is missing the best years of her children growing up...quite sad really.

to have a peace of mind you can go talk to him, and maybe explain to him a bit though he knows that he's doing the wrong act, but an opinion from a very close person can change his mine or not nobody knows, but still do your part, console him and in the end you won't regret of keeping your silence even though you already knew something... give him the advice, if he don't love her wife anymore, they can go on with their separate lives, he's bing unfair while his wife is faithful and loyal to him, or unless his wife also has a third party nobody knows

i guess you have to find the right timing to tell him. It's an obligation that you tell him before the situation get worst... that is when wife will be the one to discover. Tell him your sentiments about this matter, your opinion might help him realize that family is important and in order for him to do that he must be faithful. I know its difficult because he might be telling you to mind your own business but i tell you, its better to try it and save your cousins family than doing nothing at all. In that way you will have a clean conscience that you have done your part.

do you think it is the right thing to do, his wife working abroad and they've been apart for almost fourteen years, his wife once a year go back to our country for a vacation and my couzin working other probince... so they just have communications through phone... I got confuse because his daughter starting to know about the situation... they are asking me about that if I have known this. I don't know what to say to them... the problems getting bigger..

Hello melvelasco, First of all i HATE people who cheat. I can get super crazy, especially right now, because even i feel like i have been cheated, all credits to my ex.. I get so angry i have the guts to publicy humiliate my cousin, doesn't matter much if he is a cousin of mine ! I get ridiculously angry a few times and only my closest friends have seen this side of me. I just don't give damn of the people around me when i erupt.. Anyways, that was lot of talking i just did there. Alright, firstly you can not do anything unless you are sure of things. I would try to be sure about it and try to approach him calmly and if he still makes excuses or tries to hide i am going to step further and let his wife know about. Depends actually, i only want this cheating to stop at all costs. I don't understand why people cheat, if you are never satisfied with one person then why the hell commit to someone you don't know if you can give all your love to?! Some people make me sick....

Alright.. I am going to try to make everything work out well without letting others know, but he has to accept his guilt. That is the one most important thing that would matter me. And he had better do that, coz i don't think i can be any more soft if he tries to deny and try to hide away. Best if he realizes and stops the wrong thing from becoming far worse. Only till this moment i can take sides with him, in private but once he tries to oppose me, and something bad happens i would be one of the first to accuse him.

Well, then actually in husband and wife business its not really right to intervene since its their relationship anyway..But if you are really in the right position to discuss it with your cousin then sit and talk to him about this.You can tell him exactly what you have known and listen to his words. I don't usually interfere in this kind of business but if you are really close with each other(cousin) then you have a good reason doing so. Have a nice day!!

The best thing to do is talk to him privately and tell him the consequences of his actions. Ask him to stop or else you will tell his wife about about this. First, have enough evidence so that you have a proof that what you are saying is true, you know boys, they are good in lying.

I think you should confront him with this. You say that both of you are close, so I think you are the best person to broach this topic. Of course he would be angry with you, he’s say that you are interfering in his personal life but you have to tell him that in the long run, this will bring ruin to both him and his family. Cheating is a type of addiction in most cases and he’d not stop with one if he thinks that nobody is aware of it. Gradually it will affect his personal life and later, his professional life too… If you keep quiet now, you would be doing a great disservice to your cousin. At least, you should ask him if he doest want to continue any relation with his wife or if its just a fling he’s enjoying

If you are in the wife's shoes, what would you feel if you found out that the husband is cheating and and not only that a cousin knows everything about it. If I were you, I will confront my cousin to inform him that what he is doing is not good and it might be the reason of separation between him and his wife. He should stop this womanizing before it can aggravate the situation that will lead to broken home. Just keep in mind that the children will be the most affected if they have children already. If your cousin can not stop this cheating, he better break it off with the other girl.

I would feel that me being a woman would not want to be hurt in this way. I feel that I wold talk to him and let him know what your thoughts and feelings are as to what he is doing. I see you commented that she is working abroad, still if they are still considered to be together I would feel like it was so wrong of him and tell him how this is not right. Of course he will make his own decision as to telling his wife or not and I suspect he won't but at least you get it off your chest and feel free of having had this kept inside.

Maybe you should find the right time to tell him. Maybe it's time you take a stand now and confront your bro and let him know what's happening. Make sure that you are sure of your facts before doing so. But since you are saying text messages i am sure that you are sure. Your bro and his wife should have a talk and let things settle down. They should be able to express their feelings for one another. I am sure they can do that. Since he is your brother he might be open with you when you ask him what's actually going on between your bro and his gf. Cheers!

Wow, he is one of them. Well it's difficult but as he is your cuisin I believe you can't say nothing, only if she was family.

if i were on your shoes, it would be wise to confront your cousin first. of course you dont want to ruin the relationship, so talk to him first. tell him how you feel and what will be the possible consequences of his unfaithfulness. i was confronted with a similar situation and i decided to tell my mom not just to open her eyes but for me to be relieved from extreme gulit. have a nice day!

no, you are not the right person to tell your brother that his wife is cheating on him. better stay away from their trouble since it doesn't concern you at all.let them fix their own dispute because at the end of the day they will be the only persons who should talk about the matter which concerns them both. Sometimes, a simple problem gets even more complicated because of the people who try to meddle between two people involved.
