Ok, so an English girl I'm working in central Europe as an au pair and the family is really nice, but there is a problem.
The mother of the family is divorced and is having an affair with a married man. He initially told her that he was separated from his wife, but actually, that's not the case. They have to meet on weekends when he tells his wife he's away on business trips and they have to avoid certain places in case somebody sees them together.
She is clearly really happy and they act like teenagers together, very much in love, but the whole thing makes me really uncomfortable. I feel so sorry for his poor wife because I believe that cheating is completely inexcusable and one of the worst things you can do in a relationship.
I also don't like the fact that they're making me complicit in all of this; she won't stop talking about him and trying to justify it to herself ("It takes two people to make a marriage" "It's clearly not working for them" "It's his decision" etc). I don't approve, but I don't feel I can say anything.
On top of this, he seems very good at the whole extra-marital affair thing, so I'm guessing he's done this before and, having met him, there's no way he's going to leave his wife for her. She's just a bit of fun to him and I don't want her to get hurt.
What do I do?!? Part of me feels like it's none of my business, but they are making it my business!! Help!!!
Put the internet to work for you.
