For all of you who are dreading the holidays with your overbearing in-laws, you now have a beautiful mantra to repeat to get you through Thanksgiving: "At least my father-in-law is not sniffing my dirty panties." Eeek indeed, and your future father-in-law is a rather bold pervert if he is willing to sneak into your laundry basket while his son is in the shower and you are down the hall. This is a repulsive image, one that will be hard to eradicate in the decades to come. I think this is too big a burden to keep secret from your boyfriend. At the least your fiance might might to know why you're avoiding hugs with his date or don't want to sit next to him at meals. I think you should sit your boyfriend down and say you've got something unpleasant to tell him you realized you just couldn't keep to yourself. Hearing about this doesn't mean he's not going to continue to love his father. Just that he has to understand his Dad has a problem and you are going to do your best to be warm and cordial, but keep your distance.
