Wife informed me this morning (during a discussion on paying bills) that she was furniture shopping (a colleague's father died, she's going to see if she likes the furniture for her future apartment). I relayed this to her sister, who is her best friend, and with whom I have had constant contact since the affair stuff surfaced. Actually, her entire family supports me and has reached out to me in support at various times. Today, her sister accidentally sent an update text on my wife's situation to my wife's cell phone...so I got a very nasty call shortly thereafter asking me to desist from contacting her family. She feels like Im "stealing" them and making her to be the bad guy.
I told her I understand she's frustrated, but that I didn't want to promise something that I couldn't keep my word on, since I'm close with her family (actually, closer than with my own...) SO I tried to valudate and listen but hold my ground.
Should I have given in a bit? My wife said she feels this is an example of me being "nasty." I told her that I don't see it that way at all, but I understand that it is hard for her too.
