NM, I'd like to hear more about your SIL's caustic behaviour. What sort of stuff did she say and do? How long was he gone for and was OW involved?
Well, SIL was every bit of angry that you are and ranted and screamed and said ugly things (that were true!). She would tell him how he was destroying their sons' lives, and threw in religion, sold the stuff he left behind in the garage...but she didn't lose her cool in public (at the sons' games. She didn't stalk the OW but the OW kept calling her and trying to reason with her!?!?
SIL and H were highschool sweethearts. They are both 32 with 11 year old and 9 year old.
H became a police officer in fall of 2005. (SIL swears he changed ever since he became a police officer!)
January 07-SIL's H said he was unhappy. They went to counseling.
Feb 07-said he wanted a divorce, moved out, she found out he was with OW
Mar 07-H filed for divorce; SIL fought for primary custody of boys; ended up with 50%. OW started emailing SIL to get her to accept her marriage was over and she shouldn't hate her H or her (the OW)
Mar-June 07- H lives in an apt with OW
June-Nov 07- H moves in with OW into a house OW bought
Nov 07-H dumps OW, moves back into an apartment, then starts dating others Jan 08- divorce is final
March 08- SIL meets new boyfriend
Aug 08- H starts to show signs of wanting to come back; SIL insists on counseling H refuses
Nov 08- April 09- H starts counseling and says he wants to come back, SIL goes on a few dates with him, breaks up with boyfriend
April 09- H freaks out, says he can't do this (still doing IC but not MC)
June 09- H wants to try again; moves into the house in spare bedroom
