I cant answer as to what "relatives" see.. I know my Hs family know my H and I are not divorced nor legally separated. they know I want to save our marriage and this has been going on for 3 .5 years .. they have opened their doors to OW, My H takes OW to visit them and are there for Hoildays, birthdays etc.. his family provide a bedroom for my H and OW to sleep in under their roof... and they all claim to be Christians.. I want them to love their brother ( my H ) and be there for him but embracing OW is going to far.. they as Christians are encouraging and promoting an open and public act of adultery .. his family have hurt me more than they will ever know..i do know that trying to talk to his relatives has done no good in my case..
