Hello JustUs,
My sister in law cheated on my brother shortly after the birth of their first child. My brother and sister in law told me about the affair and said they were going to stay together and work through their problems. When they told me the news of the affair I acted calm and agreed it was for the best that they wanted to repair their marriage, but since the news I have deeply resented my sister in law and I find it extremely difficult to be around her without wanting to wring her neck. I have never let on to my brother or sister in law how I truly feel because I want to freely visit my niece and nephew but at the same time I can’t be the friend to my sister in law that I was prior to knowing about the affair. I just can’t get out of my mind that my sister in law is the type of person who goes for the jugular- she purposely set out to hurt my brother…..trust is love and she threw it away for a cheap one time only fling?!?!? What if he (my brother) chose to not forgive her? She would of ended a marriage and all that they had built for a few minutes of pleasure…while my brother is slaving away at work. Please help! I do not want to be a bitter person for this is truly bothering me. My brother and I are close and the thought of her hurting him makes me want to hurt her. As you can see, it's definitely weighing on my conscience. What do you suggest I do? Or say? Or NOT do?
