Ever since Bill Aydin's affair was made public on RHONJ, tensions between him and his wife Jennifer Aydin have been on the rise. The affair has been the talk of the season, with several arguments breaking out between the housewives.
In the past couple of episodes, Jennifer revealed that she was mad at Bill for not taking her side during her fight with Melissa Gorga. During the fight, he chose to stand aside from the cast and not engage in any form of confrontation with anyone, despite the topics of conversation including his affair.
Jennifer made it clear to Bill that she was upset over the his lack of support for her. While talking to Dolores Catania, she confessed that what upset her more than her husband's affair was the fact that she had to break the news to her family, something she struggled with.

On episode 7, It looked like Jennifer Aydin was still not completely over the affair. Since the topic was made public on the season premiere of RHONJ, she had been struggling to open up to the housewives as well as to her family.
In the episode, Bill updated Jennifer about his confrontational incident with the other husbands. She was glad to hear that her husband had her back, but she wasn't over the hurt that she felt over the past few weeks because of Aydin's lack of support. She said:
"I'm sorry for putting you in that position. I'm happy that you stuck up for me. But you know, I've never heard you say any of this before. And I get that, like, you don't want to be confrontational. But your silence is like...it's frustrating."
Making his stance clear for his wife, Bill said:
"Look, everyone handles situations differently. I'm an imperfect human being. And not everyone has the personality to be able to show emotions."
In a confessional, RHONJ star Jennifer said:
"I have all of this anger about the affair that's resurfacing. And he's sitting there with absolutely no emotion. I want dialogue, emotion, communication...and you're telling me you're incapable of that? As if I didn't feel alone already."
The conversation around Bill Aydin's affair is not going to die anytime soon. In the next couple of episodes, viewers will get to see the drama around this topic become more intense, with many more confrontations coming up.
RHONJ airs every Wednesday at 8.00 pm ET on Bravo.
