Found my brother-in-law's diary in my wife's underwear drawer

Not always a mistake, but it does seem that Dopers are quick on the trigger whenever there’s suspicion of philandering. I was in a bizarre situation with my husband a few years back. I really wanted to vent about it here, but I knew the responses would be 99% Kick Him to the Curb.* I wasn’t willing to do that, so as much as I wanted input, I kept it to myself.

It’s pretty nigh impossible to describe a situation so that people have all the information they need to offer a reasoned opinion.

*Because of course I wasn’t gonna own up to my own responsibility for the situation. :slight_smile:

Wow, way to kill my productivity for an hour.

Anybody know what happened to Skewbald? He posted on some unrelated threads for a couple months and then was gone. Too bad.

BiL admits that he was tempted to “chase” the Wife.

Wife is surprised that BiL has these impulses. Asks SiL about it.

SiL says “Well, here’s his journal. Read through it yourself. Nothing there.” Wife hides journal in panty drawer while it is “on loan” to her. SiL & Wife are conspiring to hide the loan of the journal from the men. Nothing more sinister.

Possible? Likely?

Unlikely. The idea that SiL, who we know is suspicious of her husband, would hand over his diary to the OP’s wife just seems completely ridiculous.

SiL, who was suspicious, went through the journal first. She found nothing, then gave it to Wife.

But I’m only trying hard to figure out a more “innocent” explaination for Wife to have BiL’s journal in her undie drawer.

Again, the situation is just play silly:

“Your husband keeps hitting on me. I’m surprised by this.”
“Well here, read his journal. That should clear things up!”

Hehe. I’m picturing:
Wife: Your husband wants me.

SIL: (screaming) That’s not what his diary says, bitch!

::throws diary::

Not likely.

I was thinking:

“Your husband keeps hitting on me. I’m surprised by this.”
“Well, I was too, until I read his jornal. As you can see, he says nuthin in there…”

You keep presenting us with ridiculous scenarios.

Maybe your wife and your BIL are the same person.

Have you ever seen the two of them in the same room together?

And you keep saying that. I get it. You don’t think it’s possible. Ok. I’ll check the “no” box.

:smiley:

Maybe the OP and his BIL are the same person. And his wife and his sister are the same person. This would make a great M Night Shamalanalan film.

Or Deliverance II - The Silence of the Banjos.

The lack of closure to this mysterious diary incident is kind of bothering me. I want the OP to give us an update.

That was a song by Bread … “I found my brother-in-law’s diary underneath pantieeees …”

I don’t think the OP’s wife is sister-in-law’s favourite person - my guess is they are barely cordial at this point.

Bravo!!!

I’m rather thinking David Lynch.

Fred: “Where’s Alice?”
Mystery Man: “Her name is Renée !”

It took long enough for somebody to bring this up!

My scenario for where is OP:
1.Wife: Honey, I’m going to the store.
2. Knock at the door.
3. Husband goes to door, sees BiL.
4. Wife: Sorry, officer, I was at the store.
5. Wife: Hello, Smith Insurance Co.? I want to report a Double Indemnity murder.

Personally I’m worried about having an incredibly small penis and the fact that I may be Gay.

…Shit!!!
