QUESTION OF THE MONTH

Get Real Advice Q&A

Q: My mother-in-law is rude, but I don’t want it to affect my marriage. Also… I'm pretty sure my husband is cheating. Do I leave him? Or am I supposed to “stand by my man”? HELP!

Whoa, friend. That’s a lot. Let’s take a deep breath together. In… and out. OK. Let’s get real.

First off, your mother-in-law being rude? Annoying, yes. But your husband cheating? That’s an entirely different ballgame—and it’s not one you have to keep playing if you don’t want to. Here’s the thing: your marriage is supposed to be your safe place. Your partner should be your teammate, not the person handing you betrayal on a silver platter while his mom critiques your potato salad.

So… do you have to “stand by your man”? Absolutely not—unless you’re Tammy Wynette and this is the Grand Ole Opry. Otherwise, you’re allowed to decide your own worth and your own boundaries. Now, before you pack his stuff into garbage bags and toss them on the lawn (tempting, I know), take a moment.

Check in with yourself:

Do you want to try counseling or is this unforgivable?
Are you safe—emotionally and financially—to leave if that’s what you choose?
Do you have young children?
Do you have support lined up—a therapist, trusted friends, maybe a lawyer if needed?

As for your mother-in-law, here’s my two cents: if you stay with your husband, set clear boundaries with his mom. If you leave him? Well… congratulations, you might also be divorcing your mother-in-law. Two-for-one deal. I was there when my kids were little, so I know firsthand the desire to hold your family together and look the other way.

Bottom line: You deserve honesty, respect, and peace—at home, and in your heart. Cheating is his choice. How you respond is yours. And whatever you decide, make sure it’s your decision, not anyone else’s guilt-trip or outdated idea of loyalty.

Sending you big love, courage, and the reminder that you’re stronger than you think—and way too fabulous to settle for less.
