Re: Advice Thread

[(Anonymous)]

My future brother in law has recently been sent to prison for (among other things) possessing indecent photos of children.

No longer having anything to do with him isn't a problem, but I only found out the details by accident. My fiance just doesn't want to talk about it and clearly doesn't want me or anyone else to know, generally just saying he doesn't know what's going on with said brother if anyone asks him.

Thing is, my other future in laws might mention it at the wedding to my family and I don't want it to come as huge shock to them. Should I stay quiet and pretend I don't know like my fiance would probably want me to (if he knew that I knew) or just quietly mention it to my parents just so they know to tread careful around the subject if it comes up?

Fucksticks, should have included some kind of trigger warning with that post. Sorry!

I think that you might want to say something to your parents, so long as you can trust them to be discreet. You don't have to mention anything about the particulars. You could say, "My brother-in-law has some serious legal issues that the family is sensitive to so you may want to steer clear of any kind of current events cases involving the justice system," or something like that. I don't know how particular you'd need to be since I don't know the people involved or how sensitive they'd be.

Like, if your mom was a huge Law and Order SUV fan, you might want to say that's not a safe topic. But if that kind of stuff doesn't normally come up, then something very vague would suffice.

Wow, for a second I thought you meant future brother-in-law as in, future spouse of your sibling and I was like "your sibling, who are they marrying???". Then I realized brother of your future spouse.

That's an awkward situation. I think if I were you I'd tell your fiance I knew and explain I found out totally by accident. It seems like a hard thing to keep a secret especially if it comes up in conversation later. I don't know the details or how well he'd take that, of course. It would just help clear the air and be best at avoiding future drama. Promise that you won't mention it to anyone without his say and that you won't bring it up with him again unless he wants to talk about it. But while you're talking about it you could ask if you should tell your folks or not, by explaining your above concerns. Then you'll know you've done all you can.

Again, don't know if there are details that would make that approach a bad idea - but in general honesty really is a good policy imo and it's what I'd do, all other factors being equal.
