My sister-in-law has been playing around on my brother. She told him and they told me about the affair and said they were going to stay together. When they told me I acted calm and agreed it was for the best , but since then I have almost hated her and I find it really hard to be around her without wanting to snap. My husband says to let it go but I just can’t. It is affecting my relationship with the whole family. What should I do?

Look your husband is right to some degree, it isn’t your business. Problem here is that they made it your business by telling you. I suggest you sit down with her and get it all of your chest with an aim to getting your relationship back on track. That doesn’t mean you go and abuse the living daylights out of her, it means that you tell her how her lack of loyalty to your brother has affected you.
Communication is the key here. If she and your brother are trying to put their marriage back together it should be something that you try to support. I would suggest they will need all they can get.
Just remember, people make mistakes. Whilst I do not applaud her infidelity, I do applaud her honesty in the face of a potential marriage breakup in being honest with your brother. That has to count for something.

None of your business really. Your husband is right, of course!
