[quote=cougarskies;2947132]You just never can tell. You misjudged your BIL. The 'awesome guy' turns out to be just an average cheat. Could you have also misjudged your SIL? Could she be a witch because she's handling her marital problems poorly and lashing out at the wrong people? It sounds like they have their hands full and I'd stay out of it until I knew for sure how things were going to work out.

You got that right, the BIL part at least. My SIL is one of those who are better than everyone else and I can't stand how she would brag and rub our noses in her FIL's money. They got thousands every year from them and would treat everyone like dirt because she was better than the rest of us. Nope, that's pretty much right on the money. ANd she is one of the most unhappy people I know, nothing makes her happy and I think that would drag anyone down after a while. She has so much and it's never enough, so maybe that's why she lashes out at people ,she wants them to be a miserable as she is and we're not.

Anyway.....we called her on Friday night, we were getting CHinese for dinner and she lives right down the road so we invited her and the kids. They didn't come, she said they really don't like Chinese, but she was really glad we called, DH said you could tell she was crying. He asked if there was anything we could do and she said break his legs.

I bought her a card to send from me personally, now I have to think of something good to write in it. Just a "if you need me" card.

I do wonder if they will get together, she obviously doesn't want a divorce. And I can't understand how he just thinks he can leave? That's it, I don't love you sorry?

I don't know, you would think I would understand this after all of the divorces I've seen in my family, but I don't.
