Subject, they want equal treatment. Dear Stephen Shirley, I'm in my late 40s, and my sister-in-law is my best friend. My brother is cheating on her and she found out from their six-year-old son. I was keeping their son and we went to visit my mother, his grandmother. Well, my stupid brother had his girlfriend over there having a fish fry in the backyard. My mother was in the house mad as heck, but my dad was outside with them because the woman

has a really nice body.

My nephew didn't see the woman, but my mother was so upset that she unleashed a rant,

and the boy heard it from the other room.

He could not wait to tell his mom, and she called me and lit into me about it. I told her that I was clueless

and she didn't believe me. My brother blames me for bringing his son over to our parents home.

My brother ended up moving in with my parents temporarily and continued to date this side chick

even though he was trying to work things out with his wife.

I am stuck in the middle because he has me counseling the side chick begging her to be patient

while he figures out how to leave his wife.

He's not leaving his wife and I want to tell his side chick that, but that would be even

messier.

The side chick wants equal treatment as his wife.

His wife wants it all if he wants to go back home. She wants a new ring and a recommitment

ceremony with a big, fancy honeymoon. The side chick said if she's going to stay with him,

she wants a commitment ring and a big vacation to a romantic island to prove he's all hers.
