[quote=Anonymous]The situation isn't that complicated. Black and white situations are rare and this is one of them. One person is intentionally deceiving and causing harm to another person. Knowingly violating another person's ethical or religious beliefs is harmful. Besides, maybe SIL is having physical effects that are showing up a couple hours later and she just doesn't want to talk to her in-laws about GI distress or what not.

The fact that MIL would do something like this intentionally says something about her as a person. Why would you want to make life easier or mitigate the severity of her actions for this type of person? Besides, you can't control what other people do, only what you do. MIL could very well ignore OP and continue doing what she's always done. Even MIL agrees to stop, that doesn't change what she did in the past.

I understand that the first time that OP found out, she was shocked and she froze. That's a human reaction. But now, OP has an ethical obligation to tell her SIL as one human being to another.
