A young man tasked to access the computer and personal stuff of his Father-in-Law found images and notes that he least expected to find on the late man’s computer.
He took to his official Reddit page to share the shocking discovery.
“My father-in-law passed away very recently due to a long battle with cancer. He passed away peacefully with his wife and four daughters by his side,” he wrote.
He noted how the family was preparing for the memorial service and he was asked to help.
“My mother-in-law asked me to look through his PC in his study and look through it for a slideshow of pictures and notes and writings that he kept close to his heart,” he continued.
What did the man find?
“I’m not going to lie, this felt very strange to me. I didn’t think it was the best idea to go through his computer, but it was what was asked of me so I did.
“I’ve been looking through files and folders for anything that could be sentimental. First I found a photo of him kissing a woman. I thought it was MIL, but upon close inspection, it was not. The file was also uploaded within the last year,” he wrote.
“The next thing I found was an open messaging forum where he had been messaging the woman. I shouldn’t have but I got nosy and looked into it.
“It turns out they’d been seeing each other for over a year. The messages also made it clear that his wife and daughters were not aware and he planned on taking this to his grave.”
The man is now stuck with this information and not sure what to do with it.
“If I told the family it would forever change their memory of him. Which could be good or bad. I’ve been considering erasing it myself and just never addressing it but I don’t know the correct answer here,” wrote the confused man.
Users on the Reddit platform were quick to react:
“I would first and foremost isolate those images. Just in case someone searches for all jpegs and it winds up in a funeral slideshow. I would personally take it to the grave,” advised one person.
“You go to your deathbed with that info. They will not be better off knowing it.”, Another agreed.
