Tell your wife.
It's her job to deal with wackos on her side of the family.

I've already handled the aspect with my wife. She's been very supportive. The point now is that could this situation resurface? Everythings been fine and I haven't changed my behavior or anything. I am wondering if I should or not.

No. You did your job. Told your wife.
Now just ignore the old bat.

sink a drink. pound granny's lucky stars. go home. kick the wife. kiss the dog. swing from the chandelier while bellowing as if you are Johnny Weissmuller...

or you could probably just ignore it.

I know I'm going to ignore it. What I am asking is considering nothing has happened the two days I saw her since the event, And I haven't changed my behavior at all, I am wondering if something like this could resurface?

That would be my advice. Just stay clear of her, put a lot of distance between you and her because she's one of those flakes in competition with her own daughter.

A friend of mine said his ex-wife would come on to all the guys her daughters brought home, his daughters complained to him about it, they saw their mother as a disgusting cheap floozey.

Yes, that's how this MIL is too. My wifes own sisters told her to watch out for me because of her behavior.

Why are there women like that? Why do they want their daughters men? Most of her adulterous encounters that we know of were with my wires sisters men.


Now again, regardless of her normal behavior lately could a situation like what happened resurface?

You need to nip this in the bud...If she "flirts" with you again, then say something to her and hopefully, it will embarress her enough that she'll leave you alone. You owe her nothing and I'd just quit going around her. Your wife should understand your stand and support you....I've dealt with inlaws for 38 years and they're big pains in the butts. Speak now, or you'll regret it later. I wished I'd spoke up years ago, but I always tried to keep peace for my husband's sake..If someone would have told me years ago when you get married, you marry the whole family, I would have RUN...You just tell that old hag you're not into old ladies...she won't like that..:>)

I would avoid her like the plague. If the family treats her like you describe, just avoid being in situations where she will be. If She touches or say things to you again, look her right in the face and tell her to knock it off.
I might consider telling my wife, if it was something I'd want her to tell me were the situations reversed. Think about this. it is a double edged sword.
But I would definitely never be alone w/ this MIL, ever. She sounds very unstable.
