I am currently married to Matthew. He had an affair. I filed for divorce. His mother came to me and said I needed to work on my marriage and not give up so easy. So I asked her how she dealt with her husband’s infidelity in their marriage. She started stammering and asking what I was talking about. So I said that five years ago her husband had an affair. If she expects me to work through this I need advice. How did she deal with her husband having an affair. I told her that Matthew had asked me not to talk about it so I had kept my mouth shut. She got up and left.

From what I have heard they had a massive fight. Her husband denying everything. Matthew denying that he knew anything about the affair much less telling me to act like nothing happened. My mil is pissed at her husband for cheating and at Matthew for keeping her in the dark.

For the record I just wanted her to leave me alone and think about my point of view when I made up the affair.

ETA some information I guess was relevant I didn’t consider

I only found out about the affair because Matthew gave me Chlamydia. I found out about the other affairs while fighting with him.

My father-in-law said he was golfing with Matthew on Saturdays. And that they were taking overnight fishing trips. He did this to help Matthew have excuses for his absence from home. He helped Matthew cheat.

Lastly. My mother-in-law came to my home, which she owns and gave us cheap rent, while I was packing up my stuff to move out. That’s why I let her in.
