He Exposed His Brother-In-Law For Cheating On His Pregnant Sister-In-Law, But His Wife Is Furious That He Went Behind Her Back Since She Didn’t Want To Ruin Their Marriage
This 27-year-old man and his wife, who’s 26, have been married for three years. But just a few weeks ago, he discovered his wife’s sister was being cheated on, and after he told his wife the shocking news, she surprisingly didn’t want to expose her sister’s husband for being unfaithful.
For some context, his sister-in-law is 30-years-old and pregnant; meanwhile, her husband is 31. He’s always had a close relationship with his sister-in-law, too, yet his wife can’t say the same.
“My wife and her sister didn’t get along as much as you would expect from siblings. It wasn’t just normal sibling rivalry, but constant fights and arguments,” he detailed.
Then, three weeks ago, he went out to dinner with his friends and saw his brother-in-law at the same restaurant, eating with another woman. He didn’t think much of it, either, until he later saw his brother-in-law give the woman a “light kiss.”
Despite being taken aback, he decided not to confront his brother-in-law immediately. Rather, he went home and filled his wife in on everything.
He was also adamant that they needed to tell her sister the truth. His wife, on the other hand, felt they needed to talk to his brother-in-law first.
She didn’t want to tell her sister about the infidelity since her sister was pregnant, and such a secret could break up her sister’s marriage. He didn’t understand that in the slightest.
“So what if she’s pregnant? Her husband is a cheat,” he reasoned.
“I tried to convince my wife multiple times that we should tell her sister the truth.”

He realized that his wife and her sister never got along, but he claimed it wasn’t right to keep the cheating from her. Regardless, his wife asked him to stay out of it and refused to budge.
Eventually, he had enough and flat-out told his wife that he was going to spill the beans to his sister-in-law. He didn’t want to ruin the great bond he had with his sister-in-law or betray her.
His wife threatened not to talk to him anymore if he exposed the affair. Nonetheless, he said he also wouldn’t speak to her if she hid the cheating any longer.
And finally, just yesterday, he ultimately went over to his sister-in-law’s house and shared what he’d seen at the restaurant. Initially, she didn’t believe him and asked him to leave.
A few hours later, though, his sister-in-law called him in tears, admitted she never should’ve doubted him, and stated she was leaving her husband.
He was worried about where his sister-in-law planned to go and whether she had enough money. He wound up wiring her some funds in the event she needed extra cash, and she was very thankful.
As for his wife, she was furious and accused him of ruining her family and her sister’s life.
“I said I thought the moment we got married, your family was mine, and my family was yours?” he pointed out.
“Anyway, why are you defending that [jerk] so much? What about your sister?”
His wife didn’t respond to his questions, and she hasn’t been speaking to him ever since. He’s tried reassuring her that it was the right thing to do.
Still, she won’t talk to him, and he feels like he might’ve destroyed his own marriage in the process of trying to help his sister-in-law.
Now, he can’t help but wonder if going behind his wife’s back and exposing his brother-in-law for cheating really was the wrong thing to do.
Is it concerning that his wife preferred to let her sister stay with a liar? How would you have handled this situation if you were in his shoes?
