If Patrick is using the porn for masturbation, which he probably is, he is demonstrating that he sees women as a tool to be used for self-satisfaction. Sex to him is something he GETS not a relationship he HAS.

... buy your wife a two-week cruise and get some intensive counseling while she's gone (and avoid her entire family during that period).

I totally agree with Judith. But this advice will only do you good if :

  1. You value your wife's feelings and...
  2. If you want to stay in a loving and committed marriage.

Giving her a vacation and seeking counsel on your own would be a wise decision. Maybe you should also send your wife with her sister to ensure that you won't have any contact with the sister during this time.

For the time being, the counseling should be only about you and these feelings you have and why you have them.

Counselors have amazing abilities to uncover the unknown! I'm sure at some point the counselor will want you both to seek some help together but for now I wouldn't tell your wife why your seeking this help.

At this point the worse thing you've done is tell your wife your feelings. Until you seek some help for this I would advise you not to speak of this issue. Explaining your feelings for your sister-in-law and not knowing the reason for it or not knowing how to stop it will only make your wife feel hopeless and unloved.

But before you break down from infatuation and lust for this sister-in-law you first need to answer this question: Is this worth ruining my marriage (your happily formed marriage, as you said)?
