To tell or not to tell: the challenges of infidelity to family and friendship



Laura and Kathy both worked in the same place. Beside being Co-workers, Laura was Kathy's brother girlfriend and was about to marry him. So, they became close friends and seemed to get along very well. One day, a scandal happened in their work place: Laura was discovered having an affair with one of her male colleagues by the senior management. Kathy was devastated and felt betrayed by Laura. Kathy told Laura: "are you going to tell my brother about your affair or should I?" Laura was between a rock and a hard place, so she had to confess  to her boyfriend about her affair. They broke-up.

Months later, Laura and Kathy's brother reconciled and tried to save their relationships, but  in order to do so both decided to distance themselves from Kathy. At the end, Kathy was the scapegoat for the whole story. As Unjust as it seems, it was easier for the couple to put the blame of their separation on Kathy rather than taking a thorough exam of their relationships. What the future would bring to this couple? What would be the basis for their relationships?

Kathy had to face a dilemma between being the accomplice of her future sister in law by keeping the secret of the affair or being loyal to her brother by unveiling the infidelity.  Kathy decided to stand up for her brother and to be coherent with her values. What would have you done in her place? There is no a black and white situation, but different tones of gray.
