I had an encounter with my sister-in-law just a day or two ago, Easter to be exact. My wife and I had the usual suspects over for dinner. My recently divorced sister-in-law, (my wife's sister), was crying on my shoulder in the den. One thing lead to another and we made out. Now i feel guilty whenever I look at my wife and feel the urge to avoid my sister-in-law like the plague. How do I get out of this?

Unless you feel the urge to make out with your wife's sister-in-law the next time you see her, you may want to keep this a secret. It was an isolated incident of emotions and, from what you've told me, it didn't go any further. You care deeply about your wife's feelings and that speaks very highly of you. So, you shouldn't feel guilty for this one encounter. It may help you feel better if you got back in touch with the sister-in-law for closure. You can explain that you were overwhelmed or that wasn't like you. Explain that it's something the two of you should put in the past, at least for the sake of your wife. Hopefully, your sister-in-law will feel the same way. Also ask yourself how your wife would feel if she heard the news. If you believe she'll be angry or will feel betrayed, then you have to be ready to experience that. However, it was just a kiss. It may never happen again. We all make mistakes and you need to find the right moment to explain this to your wife. She may even respect you for being upfront.
