Bombshell Dropped During Bachelorette Weekend

[Anonymous]

My best friend since middle school is getting married for the first time at 35 this December. Last weekend, 8 of us spent the weekend on the eastern shore. On Saturday morning, another woman there accidentally dropped a huge bombshell and I don't want to be the the holder of such information.

Background: bride-to-be has a younger sister. Bride-to-be dated the same guy from 20-26. His name is 'Sam.'

Younger sister and the woman who dropped the bomb were college roommates. I know her quite well. Bombshell dropper asked me if anyone had heard anything about Sam. I said 'Yeah, he's married, has a 2 year old daughter and lives in Baltimore but I only know that from social media. I don't think anyone has talked to him in years."

She responds with "Did (bride to be) ever find out about (little sister) and Sam?" I asked what she meant and ....apparently... little sister and Sam had an 'affair' for the last year of bride-to-be's relationship.

I said no, no one knows anything about that. I've never heard it and you need to keep your mouth shut. She just looked at me wide eyed, realized what was going on and stayed pretty much quiet for the rest of the weekend.

So- do I erase that from my mind or share with bride to be?

You're asking if you should tell your best friend whether her little sister slept with your best friend's boyfriend for a year while they were dating?

This is ten years in the past and bride-to-be is getting married to someone else. I'd try to erase it from memory. It will ruin bride to be's relationship with her sister at a very important and special time in her life. The sister and "Sam" were in the wrong, but Bride to Be will suffer.

Wait...why would you share that?

This isn't a "bombshell" it's ancient history. Forget you heard anything.

Uhh, finding out your sibling was having an affair with your spouse/long term partner is pretty much the definition of "Bombshell"

The bombshell dropper is either dumb or malicious. Why would she bring this up at your best friend's bachelorette weekend? What possible good would it do other than sh!t stirring? She should not be anywhere near the bride to be.

I think you did the right thing in telling the friend to keep her mouth shut. While it sounds like her sister really sucks, this would likely wreck the bride at a really pivotal time in her life. I hope the sister feels ashamed and that living with that guilt is punishment enough.

Something like this happened to my friend — she was younger and didn’t date the guy for as long as your friend, but she found out (caught her sister leaving the guy’s house). The news sent her into a nervous breakdown, to the point she had to take a break from school.

You tell the friend to keep their mouth shut and you do the same. Why don’t the same rules apply to you? But, be honest, you’re trolling again aren’t you?

This is the plot of The Wedding Date with Debra Messing and Dermot Mulroney.

So whether it's real or your Wednesday morning imagination, really, it's nothing to be raked up... because it's not important.

Insert a leaflet into the church program with this information. Film reactions. Upload to Tiktok. Watch your followers grow. Get paid to endorse fly by night skin care products. Give leftovers of your free endorsements to the jilted bride. Sleep like a baby.

Scene.

It would only be relevant now if she was getting married to SAM. However, you can tell her later so she never regrets not getting married to SAM and be mire realistic about what her sister is capable of.

What could possibly be the purpose of sharing such information with "bride to be"? She is not marrying Sam, right? He's already married to someone else and hasn't been in touch with anyone?

Bombshell dropper sounds like a jerk and a pot stirrer. What I would do is distance myself from her and then keep this secret. And I would tell bombshell dropper that she best keep that to herself.
