My girlfriend got arrested for DWI but I’m too embarrassed to tell my family. Should I tell them before they see her mugshot on Facebook?

[Anonymous]

There’s a page on Facebook that shares the mugshots of people that get arrested for DWI.
The thing is she is a new girlfriend and my family was happy for me. They are barely getting to know her. On her page it comes out that she was charged with DWI, driving with no auto insurance, expired registration sticker and I don’t know what else but it was all there on the Facebook mugshot share page. I hope my family doesn’t see it but I think I should tell them as opposed to them finding out on their own.

Tell them

Don’t tell them and pretend you also didn’t know she was arrested IF they find out

I wouldn’t. It’s really none of their business.

Explain before they jump to conclusions

I don’t know how to explain this

I don't know the situation but say it was either her friends or she needed money

Do they know about the FB page?

[Asker]

Nope

I wouldn’t worry about it
