Plenty of families have quietly open secrets. Go to journalism school if you want to break the news and spread a scoop.

He comes from a happy, loving family. Do you think it’s better to make a quiet secret a dramatic one? To what end? To shame your MIL? To prove you’re better than the family? What’s your goal?

OP here. Hop off your high horse sweetheart, this is a purely speculative, hypothetical WWYD in this situation type post. Try learning to read and comprehend before becoming sanctimonious internet Mother Superior.

Naah, NP here, and I agree with the PP. I am far more interested in your bizarre consideration of what to do. Who the hell do you think you are that this is even a QUESTION. A question that you put out on social media, albiet anonymously. I think you are on some power trip, and I also think you are flattering yourself that you think you are the only one MIL has told. I could go on for pages on MIL, what a piece of work there...but, yeah, your motives have me wondering. Maybe DH married a similar personality to his Mom. Good lord.

It probably isn't, as sad as that is.

I wouldn't say anything, and if he ever finds out (and finds out MIL told you) just say you thought MIL was drunk and making a bad joke.

Sounds like a family of alcoholics, going waaay back. Put away the booze, ladies.

My two sons are full siblings (I’m the mom, no possibility of a different parent] and one is pale with blonde hair and very light blue eyes, and the other has black hair, brown eyes and olive-toned skin. Their facial features are not similar at all.

This is our situation too, minus the olive skin on one of the kids. The two don’t look anything alike (not just the coloring, but the features are also different) and moreover, don’t really look like DH or me either. They do look like other family members, but in one case you have to go down our family tree to know that. We have actually been asked if the kids are adopted (they’re 100% ours).

+1 This is not your story to tell, OP. If your husband's mom wanted him to know, then she will tell him. MYOB.

This. Option 4. There is no upside to telling. MIL probably does not remember that she told you.

It is MIL/FIL place to tell if she ever wants to tell.

This kind of info blows up families.

+1. Not until everyone is dead. And that means no dropping mysterious hints, either.

If he weren't already dead I'd ask if you married River Phoenix.
