There is one thing to consider. Your MIL and husband behaved in a very caring and understanding manner toward you this time. But.......if you continue having suspicions about your husband for every little thing...........then the next time your MIL and husband may NOT be patient with you. Your husband knows you love him so try to have more faith in him and your relationship. You don't want to drive him away with constant suspicions because that reflects a lack of trust and confidence. So, strengthen your relationship with some trust in your partner

But if you start worrying about things that might never happen.......you are hurting the good relationship that you have now. If you worry too much about what will happen tomorrow.......you won't be able to enjoy the present/today. Spend the present time in a positive way and make your relationship strong so that your husband won't even dream of cheating tomorrow.
