What to do

Husband cheated (with prostitutes). I was distraught and actually close to a nervous breakdown. I moved out as he refused to leave. Our adult son moved out with me later. Meantime, husband took some photos of adult son's untidy bedroom before he moved out. He WhatsApped the photos to his sister. Sister replied that it was 'definitely' down to 'Housewife and Mother of the year'.
My adult children are the world to me. I love them, they love me. I've always tried to do the absolute best for them. Her words really hurt.
I haven't told anyone about this message IRL. What, if anything, should I do? Bearing in mind I have actually gone back to him (long marriage).

@MotherandHousewifeoftheyear I would ask her when did it become your responsibility to tidy an adults room for them as if they were still a baby ?-
I would also ask her not to take sides in this situation and to ignore any inflammitory texts from your husband. The situation is fraught enough......

Why do you feel you need to do something?

Your sister in law is always going to take her brothers side. What she thinks of you is none of your busib

@MotherandHousewifeoftheyear Why did you go back ? Will he change and has he taken responsibility for his actions.... ? Do you really want to spend the rest of your life with this man ?

I would retort well he's hardly husband of the year either is he?

Bit of perspective here, untidy room, shagging hookers. Not in the same league

Bloody phone. None of your business, I'm sure you guessed I was going to say.

Roll your eyes and ignore. Does it really matter what she thinks of you? I can guarantee they've said a lot worse about you elsewhere given you left.

I'm more baffled that you went back to such an odious man.

I think your focusing your anger and hurt on your SIL instead of your husband, where it belongs.

*you're focusing

Not really, no, but that's enlightening, thanks.

What does having a long marriage have to do with staying with him?
