Man Abandons Family For Mistress, Shocked Estranged Wife Won’t Care For Him When He’s Sick

Man Abandons Family For Mistress, Shocked Estranged Wife Won’t Care For Him When He’s Sick

Family fights can be many things, but one thing’s for sure—they’re rarely easy to deal with.

This Redditor appears to know that better than most. After finding out that her brother-in-law, who had been having an affair for years, wanted to return to his family, she sided with her sister-in-law and said he shouldn’t be welcomed back.

But what she didn’t expect was for her comment to upset her husband, and now she’s left wondering if she should have kept her thoughts to herself.

    Sounds like BIL has plenty of volunteers to take care of him. Oh, that's not what they meant by family helps family? Imagine that.
