[quote=Anonymous]Sister has been married for 20 years, one child.  My brother-in-law is relatively attractive, very intelligent and well read, sometimes full of himself but is generally polite and courteous.  She is a great daughter, sister, OK mom but a terrible spouse and my entire family sees it.  She is not above belittling him in front of all of us at family events.  I would say in the last couple of years he has fought back and told her not to ever talk to him like that in public.  So of course she tries to manipulate him even worse.

On Saturday we had a family get together at my house and they showed up beforehand to help out.  My sister and their kid left to get groceries so I was left in the kitchen talking to my brother-in-law while we got food ready.  Anyway, he had a couple of beers, which is rare for him, and started telling me how he cannot stand her, is planning on leaving, and saving money to do that.  He also said that because he earns a lot more than her, he will do what he has to do legally to get out of the marriage.

Now he's not perfect, but I have never heard him talk like that - it sounds like he has the whole thing planned out and is waiting for the right day to do it.  So do I tell her about this conversation or let it slide? [/quote]
