Yes it can... But even if you can get them to turn their heads on BOTH of you its a start..
There are some people on this board who have their MIL's inviting the affair partner to dinner! lol
If you can get the in laws to at LEAST stay NEUTRAL and NOT get INVOLVED either way, that's a start...
I think for you mb28 you can see where your H is getting is half assed ideas...
I HOPE that his mother will tell his father to at LEAST keep his mouth shut adn not cheer is son on like that to his face...
WAAAAAAay too many people confuse the excitement of an affair with "happiness"
Excited does NOT mean happy, it is a short term feeling that will fade out.. but way too ofter is AFTER their spouse has dropepd the rope and their sorry a$$...
I really wish people would educate themselves about infidelity, but parents in law in particular are usually too old and set in their ways to help if they are of the "be happy" mindset... it just makes me sick to think that's how people are being raised...
If it makes you feel excited - do it... that's just ridiculous...
ROBBING a BANK is exciting... hasn't anyone SEEN POINT BREAK? lol
Excitement is NOT a goal that's worth pursuing... not when there are mortgages, marriages and children involved...
