Just wait till my cousin marries into your family and I get invited to Thanksgiving 2022 at your place. Hope you have a basement....

You could've gone down there, let them know the jig was up and could they move the party elsewhere if that's what they wanted to do. You acted like this fornication was occurring at an Amish house raising. It is really not that big of a deal. (happily married and no I haven't done this myself but I could see how it must feel awesome and 'therapeutic' as someone said).

I have to agree. It's a hilarious story, and their lack of discretion was over the top, but your DH way overreacted! Calls his sister a slut and kicks her out? Was she raping your brother? His did not have to be handled this way.
Your 14 year old had enough tact and maturity to pull you to the side to tell you quietly what was happening, it's a shame that your husband didn't take a page out of her book.

Totally agree. No one is saying they should have pretended it never happened, but why make a scene? Obviously it's not even remotely ok that a 14-yr old girl saw that, and two adults should know better (at least lock the door!), but the reaction seems totally over the top and created unnecessary chaos. The name-calling is also gross. It doesn't help an upset teenage girl to hear her father screaming "slut" at his sister for having consensual sex, no matter how inappropriate the setting. And the sister's sexual history is totally irrelevant plus none of OP's (or her husband's) business!

No I'd go easy on the DH. He's hosting and this is how his sister treats his hospitality, totally embarrassing him with her behavior - probably drags up sibling history. And come on, that's really slutty. Does she never say no?

The sister's past infidelity is not "family history" - it's between her and her ex. And why is it embarrassing to him? Sounds like DH is too invested in his sister's sexual behavior. And nice that you say the sister is "really slutty" but the male relative engaging in the exact same behavior gets a total pass. Of course.

How about this: she's a slut and he's a tool. They ruined Thanksgiving for their entire family by their insensitive actions. What the hell? Who has sex in someone else's basement where anyone can walk in on them (including kids/teens) and then with someone who was previously banging someone they were related to?? Sluts and tools that's who. Drug addicts as well.

They could have made excuses at the very least and left to go to a hotel or just hooked up on their own time after Thanksgiving.

No self-control.

You're still judging the woman on her sexual behavior while the man is just judged for rudeness. Both these people seem like rude jerks so I'm not standing up for anyone, but you might want to take a look at your language and gendered judgments.

Unfortunately there's no word for 'he-slut' so I stuck with tool. Feel free to read it as is "How about this: she's a slut and he's a sexually-promiscuous asshole."
