writes: I have got two older sisters and both are married. The husband of the older sister starts to flirts with the younger sister all the time. My older sister suspects they are having an affair behind her back. She talks to her husband and the younger sister separately. They both denied and stops going out together for a short time then back again seeing each other if they can. My sister is upset about it but cant end the marriage due to finanical problem and she is still have feeling for her husband. She told me to keep quiet and dont make a scene of it. I feel bad to see her being betrayed by her husband and sister and couldnt say a word about it. I want to help but dont know what I can do about it. Please advice.

I think the only thing you can do is try to be there for your older sister. The last thing you want to do is try to get involved. You don't know EXACTLY what is going on in any of their marriages or if anything is going on. Although, I think most people wouldn't consider what her husband and your other sister are doing as normal, there's really no proof except for what your older sister is telling you. There's nothing you can do to help fix anything, is their deal so it's best just to stay out of it. Listen to your sister when she needs someone to talk to, but don't get involved talking to her husband or your other sister about it. It can only make things worse.

All you can do is to be there for her and offer her a shoulder to cry on whenever she needs it. You could also try knocking some sense into your other sister but thats about it.
