Dear Abby: A few years ago, I had an affair with a woman I met at a local benefit. I'll call her 'Desiree.' As luck would have it, a few years later, Desiree would become my sister-in-law.
My wife has always been jealous of her "more attractive" sister. She reminds me of that fact every time we visit. Now Desiree is having money problems, and she's threatening to tell my wife about our "history" if I don't accommodate her needs.
My marriage is already on thin ice because I ran over my wife's dog and forgot our anniversary in the same week. What should I do?

Dear Blackmailed: If you knuckle under to your sister-in-law's threats, her money problems will be over and you will be paying her off for the duration of your marriage. Be smart. Nip this in the bud by telling your wife everything. It isn't your fault that you met her sister first. You should thank your lucky stars you wound up marrying the right one.
