A listener sent this dilemma:
My husband and I have always been close with our next door neighbours. We both had daughters the same age and they grew up as best friends. Our daughter has moved away to Ontario but our next door neighbours’ girl stayed. The last couple of years the daughter has been dating a guy that her mother can not stand. She’s in her early twenties and has a level head on her shoulders. Last month she told my husband and I that she’d moved in with her boyfriend over Christmas. My husband and I had a long discussion about whether we should say anything to her mom but decided we didn’t want to be in the middle of this coming battle.
It looks like we’re involved now anyway. Her daughter told her mom that she and her man are living together and that we knew and didn’t say anything negative about it. Now her mom isn’t talking to her daughter or to us.
Should we have told her mom? Should we have taken her mom’s side in telling the daughter the guy is no good? (We honestly don’t know if the guy is a good guy or not but he seems trustworthy)
