Gaming has always been a sore subject for this couple, causing fights with both their parents. But when pregnancy brings the in-laws for frequent visits, they must reduce their gaming time. When the MIL calls in the middle of a match and asks what she is doing, the woman automatically replies that she is on a date with her husband. MIL visits later, accuses her of cheating and proclaims that her child is not her son’s. Was it wrong for her to pretend to cheat? AITA ?

Gamer wife gets accused of cheating by MIL!
Avid gamers and soon-to-be parents, a couple has been lying to their parents about their gaming addiction since childhood. Their relationship is strong, and they are together 95% of the time, making it impossible for either of them to cheat on one another. Due to the pregnancy, they have reduced their gaming time, but the husband went to a gaming cafe with friends, and the wife was home. When the mother-in-law called the wife, she was in the middle of a game and, without thinking, said she was on a date with her husband. Later, when the mother-in-law visited the house, the wife pretended to be asleep, which led to accusations of cheating from the mother-in-law. The husband confirmed that there was no possibility of cheating, and the mother-in-law called the wife an a**hole for pretending to have an affair. Was the wife wrong, or was it not the mother-in-law’s place to come unannounced and proclaim that she was a cheater? Let’s find out in the comments below.
