Couple’s fight caught on accidental voicemail
Dear Abby: I recently received a voicemail from my brother that recorded a conversation he was having with his wife. It was clear he didn’t know he had accidentally dialed my phone during this conversation. It was an argument, which lasted two minutes before there was a pause in the conversation and he hung up.
I haven’t addressed it with him yet because I am shocked at my sister-in-law’s behavior during this conversation, and the way she treats my brother. I have known for a while that she blames others for situations she should share the blame in, but I had never heard her in a private conversation until this voicemail.
My brother must know those two minutes live on my phone, although we haven’t spoken about it. I want to talk with him and tell him that I heard what she said. I’d like him to know I hope she treats him with respect, and that she sounds ungrateful for all the hard work he puts in at his job in their one-income household with two children. How should I handle this?
