I have a cousin whose sister in law is cheating on her husband. She has turned the blind eye towards this situation for almost a year now, but she feels terribly bad for the husband and is starting to fear for the safety of her nephews. Apparently the sister in laws whole family knows about the situation but it's becoming a dangerous situation. Whenever someone from the family approaches her about the situation the sister in law becomes irate and starts saying that she knows people's secrets and if they tell her husband she will tell everyone's secrets.
The person who the sister in law is cheating with lives Accross the street from them (my cousin lives in the same building) A couple months ago he threw a rock and broke the window in her kids room in the middle of the night. The other day she was going to her car with her 3 year old and the guy started following her to the car fighting with her. He started punching the car and it became physical between them.
Honestly how the husband does not know baffles me, all of this is happening right in front of his house and he doesn't know? I just find that hard to believe.
Anyways my cousin is afraid that something bad may happen.
So do you think someone should tell the husband?

Here is a good rule of thumb for being a cheating snitch, never do it, ever, in your entire adult life.
(well unless you want to ruin people's lives and you are the one responsible) Chances are they will figure it out soon enough, but never be the person to tell, stupid.

It's not the same as telling someone that they have pizza sauce on their lip.

I used a more indirect approach once.

I walked into a bar near my house and saw a buddy's girlfriend there, making out with another guy on the patio and in PDA mode. I immediately, detoured back into the bar and called my buddy and told him to come down, I would buy him beers and Jager and hang out.

He only lived about ten minutes away.

I texted him to meet me on the patio when he got there, then I took off to get something to eat at a restaurant next door to the bar.

He showed up, walked right into it and having beers with me was the last thing he was thinking about at that point.

To be honest I don't think my cousin should get involved. I think it would cause too much drama within her family. But, I do understand my cousins position because she sees the possibility of something happening and those kids can get hurt. Obviously this guy doesn't care if he has no problem approaching the sister in law in the streets and publicly fighting with her, and throwing a rock at her kids window.
The sister in law is also not clearly thinking considering she is putting her children's lives in harms way like this.

I tend to stay out of other's people's business (a lot of this kind of stuff ends up being wild rumor and untrue gossip), but in this case there are innocents at risk (the kids). I think the husband should be told who is throwing rocks and making threats. Maybe don't mention the affair since that's not really the primary threat/issue, but at least let the man know how is trying to hurt his kids so he can take action to protect them.

In this case its not a wild rumor as the sister in law has admitted to the affair and she is open about it with her family, the only one who apparently does not know is the husband- weird.....

I told my cousin that the next time there is an altercation if the boys are around she should just call the husband and just tell him that his wife seems to be arguing with someone and she is with the boys that way he can get the boys out of harms way.

No. If they don't find out no one is hurt, so why hurt people??
