Blood is thicker than water, even when the blood is tainted. The reason they look at you the way they do is because it is all your fault. You forced her to have an affair. If you had only been just like Santa Claus, she would not have strayed.
Her entire family appears to be conflict avoiders, and SIL an enabler. I bet there isn't a happy person in the lot of them. If anyone in the family can understand an affair with any logic, then they are too scared to speak up.
I think your folks should have been told the full extent of the affair long ago.
All the best, -NOPkins-
I will ferret out an affair at any opportunity.
-An affair is the embodiment of entitlement, fueled by resentment and lack of respect. -An infidel will remain unreachable so long as their sense of entitlement exceeds their ability to reason.
