My sister-in-law told me she was considering divorcing my brother's brother, but asked me not to tell other people. She sounded like she was going to file, and THEN tell people - including her husband. Should I talk to him about it, or keep my mouth shut?

Mouth shut. Not your business. Stay waaaaayyy out of it. IMHO

I wouldn't say anything, but that's me. I let other people fight their own battles ugly as they might be, if they don't involve me directly. Besides she specifically told you not to say anything, so if you feel she deserves that consideration, don't.

The first question is do you think that maybe she is unsure of what she wants? And she was looking to maybe talk to someone? Second, what happens if you do talk to him and she doesn't say anything? That could make you the bad guy. Or ask yourself would you want to know? And if someone did know and didn't tell you, how would you feel? When it comes to family it’s hard not to get involved. But in some cases, it is better to stay out of things and let them evolve themselves.

It sounds like its a secret and she confided in you. One like me, I'm trustworthy and loyal. I would not utter a word to anyone, but, I would ask her if there's nothing that can be done to avoid such.

It may only serve to cause more problems if she confided in you then you betray that confidence. If she is only considering divorce she may change her mind. I wouldn't say anything. Now that I have answered the question, I have GOT to ask: Is your brother's brother not also your brother? I am not being a smarta$$, I am just curious (and a bit confused). :-)

Talk to him... but talk to him as a friend. Not as a sister. She where things stand first. Than that will help you in making your decision. Hope this helps.
