I thought it was inappropriate, but we’d just met, so I didn’t make a fuss about it.
Before I’d met Ashley, my husband once spoke about her as his ’relationship guru.’ He said that he told her a lot about me and our perfect relationship.”
Things have become even more unhealthy with time.
Angela continues her story, saying, “The relationship between Alex and Ashley has been very weird since that first meeting. Ashley regularly makes me uncomfortable.
She often pulls my husband away to talk one on one.
She touches Alex regularly, and what is even more annoying is that they both have that small inside jokes, so I just sit there like a fool, because I don’t really get them. Ashley often makes silly voices to Alex and they both laugh, this woman just straight ignores me, though I always act super friendly towards her.
This situation is getting exhausting. One of the last times I saw her, she dared to complain that in ’good old times’ she and Alex were talking every day about different things and were literally best friends.
She said they don’t talk as much now, because now Alex is married and ’has obligations’.”
Angela’s husband doesn’t think that his real with his SIL is a problem.
Angela wrote, “I confronted Alex about this awkward relationship many times. He keeps saying that I’m overthinking and that he’s just ’being friendly’ with his brother’s wife. He explained that he knows how much Sam loves Ashley, and he just wants to make sure that she smoothly fits into the family again.
Alex says that by being extremely friendly, he tries to show Ashley that he doesn’t blame her for breaking his brother’s heart in the past and that all her bad deeds are forgotten and forgiven.
When I asked Alex if he and Ashley had any special relationship in the past, he said that they weren’t friends and that Ashley was exaggerating when she told me that they used to talk a lot. He says that once she helped him get over some unfortunate relationship with some girl he dated, and she was his help and support in that situation, nothing more.
But I feel like everything is wrong between Alex and me, and, specifically, between him and Ashley. I even thought of it being an emotional infidelity, and now I’m considering taking a pause in my marriage.
Sometimes I think about a divorce. What should I do?”
And here’s a story of a woman, who broke a happy family and became a mistress of a married man. The woman expected a paradise in her relationship with her beloved, but her life turned into a big nightmare.
