Dear Bella,<\/p>\nDear Bella,<\/p>\n
I am a terrible person. I found myself in a situation where I am hurting my sister and I don\u2019t know how to fix it.<\/p>\n
I found out her husband was cheating.<\/p>\n
In fact, I caught him with another woman at a restaurant on the outskirts of Roseau. He begged me not to tell my sister for fear of destroying their marriage.<\/p>\n
I jokingly told him \u201cpay me\u201d and he said \u201cok\u201d.<\/p>\n
Anyway, Bella he gave me $1,000 hush money. I never told my sister. Then a month ago she called with tears saying her husband is cheating because he came home smelling of another woman\u2019s perfume.<\/p>\n
I knew he was being unfaithful but I told her don\u2019t think about that and be happy.<\/p>\n
She asked me to speak to her husband about her concerns and when I did and told him to stop he offered me more money. I took it. This time, $2,500.<\/p>\n
And this has been going on for months. He\u2019s been giving me this hush money almost 11 months now and I feel like I am stuck because my sister is hurting and the one person who knows the truth is aiding and abetting in the situation.<\/p>\n
Stuck<\/strong><\/p>\n ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..<\/p>\n Dear Stuck,<\/p>\n The first line of your statement is perhaps the only appealing part of your ordeal. You are in fact a terrible person. Frankly, I think your sister should divorce her husband and let you have him, since it appears that you both should be placed under the same umbrella.<\/p>\n If you want to make things right you need to let your sister know her husband is cheating and that you have been accepting money from him.<\/p>\n You should also need to take a decision and commit to repaying every cent that this man has given you.<\/p>\n Your sister may not trust you again. Your relationship could be ruined forever.<\/p>\n She may divorce her husband and her family could be in shambles.<\/p>\n This entire situation could blow up into a nasty ordeal that will leave people with scars that may be hard to heal.<\/p>\n Best Have a problem?
