On same-sex attraction and meddling families.

[Bjorn Turoque]

Crud, I just realized I have some Men's Fitness magazines at home.

In all seriousness, my belief is that your MiL's actions are ONE HUNDRED PERCENT driven by the fact that she has one son who's already "out." And it is one hundred percent wrong for her to talk about this to his friends without discussing it with him.

[SteelBlue]

The bad part is that he doesn't even know that any of this has gone on. It's all been done behind his back.

I suppose the girl may well have told him. Who knows.

It might make for a fun Christmas this year if you gave him a call and told him what's been going on.

My wife has said she'd like to get together with them all for Thanksgiving. Maybe that would be the time to drop the bomb.

[Portland Ute]

What the hell?

This story gets more "Days of our Mormon Lives" by the minute.

Seriously, put your inlaws on "manual ignore" for a while until this blows over.

Well, I have no idea if they are sharing the same bed.

I certainly hope they are.

I think it might be fantastic if it was to come to light that he spent the entire week on leave in Italy having hot sex with the girl.

His mother would be proven wrong, he'd be my hero and the mother would also be forced in her Uber-fascist -LDS-worldview to decide which is preferable: A celibate gay son or a straight son having hot, illicit sex outside of marriage.

OK, so it seems you have transitioned from being REALLY pissed at your in-laws, to mildly pissed and able to have a little fun with the situation.

You have a whole world of opportunity open to you now to mess with them.

I would suggest dialog now about how maybe they are boy gay and just want to remain faithful LDS by marrying as an SSA albeit opposite gender couple.

The objective is to see if you can get your MIL's head to explode.

THAT, to me, is the kicker. At the very least, even if you somehow believe the girl deserved to know what the MIL thought, the guy deserves to know what MIL said to the girl.

If I were Portland Ute, I'd tell the BIL that the MIL only told the girlfriend because HIS SISTERS encouraged her to, that'll teach them all.

:stirthepot:

[Green Monstah]

Wow.

I thought my in-laws were effed up.

Nothing you can do now. Just sit back, watch some fireworks and be a good friend to your BIL.

No good can come of spewing your indignation at your wife or her kin.

If I were PU, I'd take his BIL to a strip club to test the MIL's thesis.

No way; too obvious! You've got to be craftier.

[Babs]

yikes. Heaven help you if you ever get on her bad side.

In a somewhat related note, quite a bit of gay sex happens behind one's back.

[DapperDan]

By chance is this girl a bit on the manish side?

[DapperDan]

You mean, uh, hefty side?

No, just more manly features than feminine.

An old buddy from high school married a gal that from certain angles looked less like a gal. I'll...uh...omit the actual phrase we used, but we kind of wondered if that factored into his decision.

[Moliere]
