When you get a call from your in laws asking to come over on a Wednesday you know something is up. My husband and I were aso weary about what was gonna happen considering that about 3 weeks ago now at a dinner lots of family stuff came out of the woodwork.

When we got there my husbands sisters were there as well. It's been a bit awkward with the three of them as well. I post on here about my in laws and all their craziness, people ask how my husband ended up the "sane" one to which the answer is he doesn't take life too serious, sees the lighter side a lot and stays away from it all if possible. It's usually me who gets involved, beleive I'm not perfect, I've gotten myself into trouble before.

Anyways a part of the reason I'm posting tonight is to ask you all this: Can you think a 35 year marriage can survive infidelity?

My mother in law is/was having an affair. My father in law found out a few weeks back from the guys wife. I don't know how she found out. Tonight at the house my in laws sat us all down and sadly said they are separating which may lead to a divorce. Though my husband and I kinda figured it would happen we still were a bit in shock to hear it. Of course seeing how this is my husbands family and all nothing ever just ends there has to be arguing and swearing and yelling. The sisters were upset with their mom, Carol ended up calling her mom a whore, the mom who I think was a bit tipsy called her daughter easy, she said clearly I raised an easy girl if you don't really know who the father of your unborn baby is. Rhonda said she will stick by her dad becuase she knows what it's like as her and her husband are also dealing with cheating. Again the mother in law said of course you are sticking by dad...who else will pay for your hair and nails and groceries. It was awful sitting their listening to all this hatefulness. When my husband stood up yelled for everyone to shut the eff up! He said it was so ridiculous that a marriage lasting 35 years is going to dissolve like that, no counselling, no trying to get through just separating. He said I think you both just want out, you're bored with your lives. My husband started to tear up. The mother in law was trying to console him but again my husband tends to think of the lighter side of things so when this happens, him crying you know he's uber upset. I felt bad and suggested we leave. It's been quite the emotional day for us. What tomorrow will bring......
