a little white lie (but not really little or white)

I'm part of this family (everyone is in a relationship or married) and there is a rumor going around that one of the siblings has an incurable unpleasant disease. Now I have no idea where or how this rumor started, she doesn't even know that the family is talking about this behind her back. I truly think it has something to do with her doing well in every aspect of life. I am just a recent addition to this family (through marriage) and I have no idea how to bring it up to her or make this all stop.

You can start...

....by telling anyone who tries to talk about this around you that you don’t think it’s appropriate to talk about it behind her back. Don’t be a part of this type of gossip.

They're are just so many reasons to not get married. BS with the in-laws is another one. Best of luck with that.

I’m assuming it’s an STI?

No one wants an STI and, yeah do all you can to keep yourself and others safe by wearing protection.

But honestly, I’ve met a bunch of people with “unpleasant incurable diseases”. I feel like it’s just apart of an adulthood that you eventually meet people who have STIs. Like, that shit happens.
