'Definitely got a lot of explaining to do': Resentful wife is suspicious of husband's Valentine's gift to sister-in-law

Giving a gift can be a beautiful way to show someone how much they mean to you. It can also be an unwitting flashpoint for relationship drama. When you're dating someone, gifts are tricky. Say you've been seeing somebody regularly for 2 months, but you haven't defined anything relationship-wise. Their birthday is coming up. And they're crazy about their birthday, so you have to get them something. What do you get them that says "I care, but I realize we're not a couple yet." A candle? A gift card? It's a gift-giving minefield. Seinfeld perfectly captures this conundrum when Jerry gives Elaine $182 cash as a gift, and she's super offended. I get it! That's not something you give to someone you're close to. 

But this story's gift-giving web is even more tangled. It almost feels like a soap opera, full of betrayal and drama. Get in on the juicy story below.
