when someone asks you a question about something that you are not allowed to tell about.
my husband told me something about my sil which she told him and told him specifically not to tell anyone. she hasnt told me herself and has been avioding for a while so she really doesnt want to talk about this very big issue with me. but hubby told me...
and now someone asked me a direct question about her for which I had no clue of how to answer cuz I didnt want to lie about it and by saying I dont know I would imply the answer anyways. I just said I havent been in touch with sil for a while but this lady could see that something wasnt right. and now I am afraid that she is gonna ask again.
how do you guys deal with such confusing situations?
I think it was wrong of your husband to betray the confidence of your SIL and tell you something that she didn't want to tell you herself. Since you have the information that you are not supposed to have, you should pretend to be ignorant of the information in question. Otherwise you risk upsetting your SIL, possibly embarrassing her, and also tarnishing the reputation of your husband.
