However, one woman wasn’t expecting the situation she found herself in after her brother’s family moved in.

In a Reddit post, the unnamed user recounted the shocking discovery she made under her own roof.

The 44-year-old mum-of-three explained that her 37-year-old brother, his wife, 34, and their two children had recently moved in with her family.

“I have big house on a farm and with everyone working from home we thought it would be a good chance to stay together as family and for my nieces to spend time on the farm,” she said.

She recalled how on the day her brother and his family moved in, her 18-year-old son joined her on a food shop.

“He went to the pharmacy to get his gym supplements and I bought the food,” she said.

“I saw condoms in my son’s plastic bag when we arrived at the house, two packs with 36 condoms each so 72 in total.”

Since her son was an adult and had a girlfriend, she didn’t think anything of it.

The Reddit user explained that “everything was fine” with every one getting along well.

“My sister-in-law and son would go on an early runs around the farm, everything seemed normal,” she said.

However, she recalled how one morning while she was working on the property, she noticed the pair didn’t “make any rounds around the farm.”

“I asked about it and they said they decided to hit the road, I thought nothing of this,” she said.

She explained how her sister-in-law and son “seemed to have a very good bond.”

But when she returned home from a friend’s house early in the morning, she discovered just how close the pair actually are.

“It was little dark but I saw that the cabin we have in the farm was open and the light was on so I went to close the door and switch off the light,” she explained.

“As I got closer, I heard people having sex and I took a peak and it was my son and sister-in-law.”

Four red flags your partner is cheating

Private Investigator Aaron Bond from BondRees revealed four warning signs your partner might be cheating.

They start to take their phone everywhere with them

In close relationships, it’s normal to know each other’s passwords and use each other’s phones, if their phone habits change then they may be hiding something.

Aaron says: “If your partner starts changing their passwords, starts taking their phone everywhere with them, even around the house or they become defensive when you ask to use their phone it could be a sign of them not being faithful.”

“You should also look at how they place their phone down when not in use. If they face the phone with the screen facing down, then they could be hiding something.”

They start telling you less about their day

When partners cheat they can start to avoid you, this could be down to them feeling guilty or because it makes it easier for them to lie to you.

“If you feel like your partner has suddenly begun to avoid you and they don’t want to do things with you any more or they stop telling you about their day then this is another red flag.”

“Partners often avoid their spouses or tell them less about their day because cheating can be tough, remembering all of your lies is impossible and it’s an easy way to get caught out,” says Aaron.

Their libido changes

Your partner’s libido can change for a range of reasons so it may not be a sure sign of cheating but it can be a red flag according to Aaron.

Aaron says: “Cheaters often have less sex at home because they are cheating, but on occasions, they may also have more sex at home, this is because they feel guilty and use this increase in sex to hide their cheating.  You may also find that your partner will start to introduce new things into your sex life that weren’t there before.”

They become negative towards you

Cheaters know that cheating is wrong and to them, it will feel good, this can cause tension and anxiety within themselves which they will need to justify.

“To get rid of the tension they feel inside they will try to convince themselves that you are the problem and they will become critical of you out of nowhere.  Maybe you haven’t walked the dog that day, put the dishes away or read a book to your children before bedtime.  A small problem like this can now feel like a big deal and if you experience this your partner could be cheating,” warns Aaron.

She shared that she was too in shock to confront them in the moment.

“I still haven’t told anyone what I saw and I don’t know what to do,” she revealed.

The concerned mum shared her suspicion that the affair had been going on since her brother’s family had moved in, explaining that her son hadn’t brought his girlfriend around since then.

She added that the alleged morning runs and close relationship also made her suspect that the pair had been acting inappropriately for some time.

Reddit users shared their thoughts on the situation in the comments section.

“Tell your husband immediately. The two of you can decide how to handle the situation in general, and more specifically, how to handle this with your son,” advised one reader.

“You HAVE to tell your brother. You’re the one that saw what was happening. Do not talk to your sister-in-law, she will likely be dishonest. Let your brother decide how he wants to handle her.”

“Make sure your son is OK, imagine this story if it was a 34-year-old male and an 18-year-old female,” wrote another person.

“Could easily be predatory or grooming behavior on her part.”
