Have you ever gotten other people in trouble by confessing your sins and asking them for forgiveness?

Answer 1

In Jewish Law we are obliged to ask for forgiveness from anybody we wronged, unless it will do more harm, in that case you have to confess to the Holy One blessed is He, and do everything to come into a more positive light by the person you wronged, in order that you can ask him forgiveness at a later time.

Answer 2

Not sure how that would happen unless someone else was listening in, or unless they went crazy and did something weird after your confession. I am not sure if that has ever happened to me.

I do know that most of my sins are not against others, and that, if they are, they were unintentional. Usually, if it is unintentional, I would not consider that a sin (like accidentally hitting their park in the parking lot), but I would still tell them about it in either case.

The best example I can think of is at work, like if you did something that caused them to get fired, or something like that. I don't think that has ever happened to me.

I suppose I could think something up, but if confessing the sin would do more harm than good, then perhaps it is best just to try to secretly make it up to them, confess it only to God, and leave it be.
