Dear Fonseca
I had an awkward run-in while holiday shopping last Sunday. The run-in has been on my mind all week. I was in Victoria's Secret when I ran into a co-worker's husband. We had a nice chat and then went our separate ways. As I was leaving, I noticed him buying lingerie and underwear that would never fit his wife. Not even close. I think he may be cheating. Should I say something to my co-worker or is it none of my business?
