The Other Table

Do you tell her?

The Other Table

You're out for lunch and you see your friend's husband across the room, holding hands with someone who isn't her. He hasn't seen you. You've known her twelve years. You know she's been happy lately.

Do you tell her?

Then ask

  • What would you want done if it were your marriage across the room?
  • If you say nothing and she finds out in a year, what do you tell her then?
  • Would you speak to him first, and is that courage or cowardice?

The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
