A wife has been left devastated after her husband told her that he’s in love with her sister.
Taking to Reddit, the woman explained that her sister is her best friend and the only family member she speaks to. She is also her ‘protector’ throughout their childhood and kept her strong when she faced difficulties in life.
She says that her husband and her sister have similar personalities, thanks to their “same sense of humor, love for music, books, movies and games.”
The woman said she was happy to fall in love with the male version of her sister and them getting along very well was important to her because they are her only family.
“We got married a year ago after six years together and I’m 27 weeks pregnant now with our first baby.
But her husband’s behavior suddenly changed after her sister met her boyfriend.
“He got along very well with me and my husband although I always felt that my husband never really liked the guy,” she wrote.
“When I asked him once why he didn’t like him, he got flustered and told me that he didn’t know it was noticeable and apologized. He told me he just didn’t think he was good enough for her.”
Her husband’s attitude only became worse when her sister’s boyfriend finally popped the question and she said yes.
“We were just having pizzas and they were having beers in my sisters balcony and the boyfriend just suddenly went down on his knees and took out a ring,” the woman continued.
“She was very surprised but happy all the same and said yes.
“When we went back home my husband was a little tipsy. He told me he wasn’t tired and that he’s going to take one more beer and watch TV and that I should go to bed.”
“I went back to the living area and he was sitting there crying,” the heartbroken wife continued.
“I asked him what’s going on and he told me that he was in love with my sister, and has been for years but that he knew how wrong this was.”
The wife was left devastated but she questioned whether she should tell her sister or just keep it to herself and pretend that nothing happened.
“I don’t know what to do or how to feel about this,” she went on.
Reddit users were quick to share their opinions, with one person commenting: “You will forever be comparing yourself to her and doubting his love for you. Do not ever let someone ‘settle’ for you, or you will miss out on an amazing connection you could have in this life with someone else deserving of you.”
Another said: “You should be in shock and you’re dealing with this and everything it means head on. Talk to your therapist about it. This wasn’t an affair and he didn’t cheat. He’s been in fantasy land.”
