Hey, so I guess I'll just get straight into my question of how do my wife and I address concerns about my mother-in-law potentially having an affair and cheating on my father-in-law?
For the sake of the past few shows, please tell me it's not you that's having the affair with her.
No, no, no, no.
God, thank you.
She
Actually, that would have got us a lot more subscribers. That would have been kind of awesome for the show. Yeah, that would have been good. Okay. All right, so tell me more. Tell me about it.
Well, so just to kind of give you some context, how we have finding out or why we're coming to this conclusion is about a year ago, my in-laws... They were approached by someone that they knew. My mother-in-law had a relationship, I think a coworker or something, and he was going through a divorce. I guess he had his assets frozen, got kicked out of the house, blah, blah, blah, and then asked my in-laws if he could stay with them for the time being. Well, a few months turned into a year. At first, I thought he was just, I guess, scamming them, taking advantage of them. My mother-in-law and my wife, they both have had a good relationship, and so they talk all the time.
How should I address family concerns?
and overhearing these conversations, um, I first thought the, this guy, um, that was staying with them was just taking advantage of them. Um, but the stories that my mother-in-law kept saying and kept, you know, relaying to us, um, now I'm starting to feel like he, she's covering for him because they're, they're getting emotionally involved.
If you like pina coladas, huh? I get it. So, um, that's a pretty far leap to, from, Hey, this family friend is going through a divorce. I'm going to crash there for a little while too, man. It's turned into a year to, I think my mom, my mother-in-law is having an affair at worst, a physical affair at best, an emotional affair. Um, I say this with all due respect, but like what business is it of y'all's of yours? Um,
So that's the thing is I probably wouldn't care as much, but it's clearly having an effect on my wife who's starting to realize it. I think I saw it a lot sooner, saw the writing on the wall. But the other aspect which makes it difficult and kind of what gives, I guess, us some say-so is my son, he's 15 months old. He goes and stays there a couple times a week.
Absolutely not. No way, no how. And here's why. Not because of the affair, but because the vast majority of abuse, physical and sexual, is done with step-parents or visiting boyfriends kind of thing.
Yeah.
And I don't know this guy. I don't know anything about this guy. I don't trust this guy. I don't have a relationship with this guy. My kid's not going over there, period. End of story.
