Is this the end...

Hero,

I'm following your thread to see what type of responses you get and to read your update after you talk to your W to see how that goes.

Over the last couple days, I've seriously contemplated reaching out to my MIL. My W hasn't told her parents anything about what's going on. Back when the first A took place 5 years ago, I made my W text her mom and tell her what she'd done to me. Probably not the right thing to do, but the point is, my MIL knows her D betrayed me back then.

I'm pretty confident that my W hasn't reached out to her mom because she's afraid her M will tell her she needs to work on the M. From what I can see, she's only reaching out to her sister through this whole mess. Her brother knows about the situation and he's very pro-marriage. He went through a similar same scenario of infidelity earlier this year and they R and have a better M because of it. So, I've been questioning why my W wouldn't be leaning on him for advice or at least talking to him about everything? The answer I've come up with is because he will tell her what she doesn't want to hear. Same thing applies to her mom. W's mom and her are very close, so I'm 99% certain that's the reason she isn't communicating with her about our situation.

I'm sure the advice around here will be to not reach out, but it looks as though you might have received some positive reaction for doing so by the sounds of it.
