Dear Queenie,
I found out that my husband was having an affair with my own sister and now we are getting a divorce.
My sister wants me to promise not to tell anyone the reason for our divorce because that would probably result in divorce for her too and problems for her young children. Except for cheating on her husband she is a good mother to her children.
Queenie, should I promise?—Angry wife
Dear Wife,
What is to be gained by telling except punishing your sister, which would also mean punishing her innocent children? Hold your tongue.
However, your sister should remember that this is a small island and secrets are hard to keep. Someone else may also know about her affair with your soon-to-be-ex-husband and her indiscretion will no longer be a secret.
