Assalaam walaikum,
You bring an interesting perspective. Over here people are more direct. And women are direct with their husbands. If you have an issue you discuss it with your husband in private. Besides if your husband is cheating on you..there is nothing anyone can do. If you forgive him, good. 65% of spouses forgive cheating. If you can not forgive him..divorce him.
A lady would never never accuse her husband of anything of this nature at a social event. This was not a pity party. You do not draw in innocent people into private affairs.
It is the wrong venue. Why introduce doubt on a festive occasion. There are times and places.
Eid comes around once a year.

You know sister your post really got me thinking! This is exactly my problem!!!! You see I am born and raised in the West so of course my attitude and actions reflect as such! That means just as you posted I am direct and believe that all people should be direct in their dealings with others. How naive am I???? The rest of the world doesnt work according to my standards and who am I to even assume they should????
Very interesting indeed. I was also very gently reminded in PM that by my posting this thread in the way that I have this could also be considered backbiting to the sister who mentioned her business with family! I took her business outside of the family by posting this and even though her name is not revealed it is still backbiting and wrong. What I should have done is made her case a general "what if someone did this" type of question. In that way I would achieve my goal of getting an answer to my question without having revealed her sin.
Jazakallah khairan to the person who PMed me to make me see my error. As sister Aapa put it here in her post I am from the West and therefore very direct. I meant no harm to the sister and may Allah forgive me. Please remember brothers and sisters that I am still relatively new to Islam and that makes me a work in progress! Please forgive me when I make these type of mistakes and I will do my best not to repeat them in the future inshallah.
wa salam
