Dragonflower says,

I favorited this just because....your BIL is so deserving of that to happen.

A farmy thought ..... Glad he has manure foot while he's living in the dog house because he was a pig (or jackass... take your pick).

three-monkeys says,

Loving the solidarity! Thanks. :) (And MO, I think maybe jack-pigass. Or pig-assjack. A new word, new stinky farm animal amalgam symbolizing all cheating men). ;P

Dragonflower says,

three-monkeys!! I am in 100% solidarity with you. So much that I even think the stinky farm animals are better than your brother in law's actions.

However, something that always bothers me about the cheating scenario--the (other) woman involved. As women, are we sometimes as guilty and slimy as the cheater? Sometimes the women say they didn't know, so how can we be sure then? Cheaters lie so well. I never want to inadvertently be a co-cheater. I say this because I met someone a while back and thought he was a good guy, but he kept getting these calls on his cell, he'd say they were just friends calling, but they were so frequent, I wondered. I just got this wierd vibe about it, so stopped seeing him. It made me really think how careful I have to be when getting to know someone these days.

Best wishes to your sister and your family as you work through this upsetting situation.

Autumn, this woman knew just what she was doing. She came to interview my brother in law for a story on organic dairy farming. She is married with two kids, the same age as my sister's. She came into the house and had tea. She is vile. If I were my sister, I would not struggle with the choice to contact the woman's employer and let her know how she is using her company's resources...so she can ruin the lives of her subjects.

You're smart, Autumn. Many people would rather listen to their "heart" than their conscience. Kudos to you.

Dragonflower says,

Wow. That's really awful. The tea part really gets to me. Well, many good and strengthening thoughts to your sister and you all.
