I (24M) am witnessing cheating in my workplace. My colleague (29F) is cheating her husband (30M). Her husband is an acquaintance
Relevant background about me – I(24M) have joined my first job in a big tech company. New to the corporate ecosystem. It’s been around 6 months here.
Recently I found out, My colleague(29F, recently married (8months)) is having an extramarital affair in the workplace.
I’ve met her husband(30M) a couple of times and he is a nice and innocent guy. I feel bad for him. I thought of tipping him off about the situation.
Then I came across a post where a similar situation was being discussed. People over there were ridiculing the OP and telling him to mind his own business. This made me wonder if I should let it go and mind my own business or let her husband know.
I don’t know how to feel about this situation. Please guide me if this is normal in the workplace and if I should mind my own business as it doesn’t concern me. Also, if I let him know about this, what would be the consequences?
Ps. I’ve met her husband a couple of times. My perception of him was formed during those meetups.
Netizens’ comments
- I personally was a little angry at my bfs coworkers when they all knew about his cheating then wanted to “feel sorry for me” when I found out. I had talked to them before and thought we were acquaintances as well. Apparently not.
Tell him anonymously. He won’t know it’s you. She won’t know it’s you. And you won’t have him mad at everyone when he finds out. Tell him sooner than later. - Dude, would you want someone to let you know if you were being cheated on? If yes, please let the man know.
- It would be nice to tell the husband. He should know. But go in knowing this has a high probability of messing with your career. If you tell him be prepared for that.
