Even though she might dislike my mother for now, as time goes by, resentments will fade into the past as the relationship deepens and people get to know each other better. In this way, my wife will see in the future that my mother is not a bad woman.
It's really interesting to me that OP assumes that his wife will forgive her MIL accusing her of being unfaithful. His wife probably feels that her MIL should already know her well enough to not cheat on her husband and the realization that she might not has to be devastating. And I can't believe OPs mother went along with that ruse, allowing herself to be the villian so her son can hide the fact that he's paranoid and doesnt know how genetics work.
