I would tell SIL as soon as possible and apologize profusely for not alerting her to this issue as soon as I found out about it. MIL can live with the consequences.[/quote]
But it's not just MIL living with the consequences.  It's OP, OP's husband, BIL, SIL and any kids who have to live with the consequences.  Chances are good that MIL is awful enough in other respects that there isn't a decent relationship anyway, but if there is any kind of relationship, it could take years to recover.  And for what?  It could even be the case that SIL would rather not know (like some spouses would rather not know that their spouse had a one night stand -- another thing I would not feel compelled to tell people if I happened to find out, btw, but I guess DCUMers would feel it is their duty to butt into everyone's lives).[/quote]

I guess everyone makes their own decision about what they will and will not be complicit in. Personally, my decision would have been made when I found out and MIL told me not to tell. I refuse to be party to that kind of disrespect, and if MIL is going to be a jerk about it, that just gives me extra reasons not to interact with her anymore. Chances are good, like you said, that MIL is awful enough in other respects that it would not be a heartbreaker to not associate with her anymore.[/quote]
