Are they having an affair?

Right, I dont want to reveal who these people are, but theyre people who are close to me and I'm worried about them. Um, to make it more simple for me to write this lets call the couple Mrs X and Mr X (who have been married for more than 20 years and have kids) and then theres Mr Y (who is Mr X brother).

For awhile now, a couple of months I have been noticing that Mrs X is acting differently in personality wise, shes alot more happier and jolly and singing all the time, when she never used to. Her husband Mr X lost his job back in August and it effected their family loads (no money and stuff, cos Mrs X is a housewife). Infact both of them have been having loads of arguments and fights over debt, alcohol and in-laws and stuff and nearly got divorced at one point, but only stayed together cos of their children. Ok, so Mr X is currently working for his brother Mr Y who lives next door to them. At start he worked from home, but since the kids have been going to school, Mr Y has been sending Mr X to do work elsewhere all morning and afternoons every day of the weekday. Whenever I mention Mr Ys name to Mrs X, she gets a funny smile on her face and she's always talking about him. The other day I saw Mr Y leaving their house and I asked her what he was doing there and Mrs X told me that he just gave her Mr Xs wages. Also Mrs X has been spending loads recently on groceries and I dont know where she's getting the money from.
I dont know why, but deep down I have this feeling that they Mrs X and Mr Y are having an affair. They live next door to each other and stuff. Am I being paranoid here or summit? Its just Mrs X has changed loads and she always arguing with her husband. Please tell me, cos Im really worried about them. I was thinking of leaving a tape recorder at their house one day, to see who comes and goes. What do you think?

Maybe you should confront Mrs. X about the situation, and really ask her...and if she denies, look into her eyes and ask her properly.

Maybe Mr. X and Mrs. X are getting jiggy with Mr. Y? :P lol

I'm scared to confront her trigger, cos if it isnt happening, then she'll think I'm a sicko for coming up with this and stuff.

You'll end up breaking your family apart. Just stay out of it, that way, you keep both parties happy.

Do your siblings think the same? If they don't suspect anything then I wouldn't mention it to them just yet, but if you all think the same, maybe you should all talk to your mother. Good luck x
