A poll: Blackmail or tell spouse?

[Anonymous]

WWYD if you had irrefutable proof that someone was cheating on their spouse and you know that someone has lots of money?

1. Blackmail the person for cash?

2. Tell the person's spouse?

3. Nothing?

How do you "know" that someone has lots of money? People in this town like to exagerate earnings. If the person has so much money, enough to blackmail (illegal), they they probably have enough money to bury you and ruin/end your life. In short, I would do nothing.

If the spouse was family/close friend i would tell. If not close friend/family I would do nothing.

Money would not have any part in my decision

Nothing. I stay out of other people's marriages, I have enough on my hands managing my own.

blackmail? are you insane?

Do nothing unless the spouse is a relative or a close personal friend and you have irrefutable proof that the spouse does not already know about the affair. Then you tell.

Blackmail is illegal so unless you want to risk jail time I would not go for that option. Also how do you know that the cheating spouse is going to choose to pay you instead of just calling your bluff
