Her Brother-In-Law Just Confessed That He’s In Love With Her, But He Doesn’t Want Her To Tell Her Husband
This 26-year-old woman tied the knot with her 35-year-old husband a year ago. Now, her husband has never had a close relationship with his brother Harry, who is 11 years younger than him, but it’s not just because of their age gap.
Her husband and Harry are polar opposites when it comes to what they like and even in regards to how they act.
What’s interesting is that as soon as she met Harry, she instantaneously connected with him, and she thought they basically became siblings themselves.
Her husband was thrilled that she bonded so well with Harry because he was happy someone could kind of help give Harry guidance in life and play the role of an older sibling.
“Although I’m only two years older than him, I guess you could say my life is a lot more put together, so to speak, than his, so he often asks me for advice about money, career moves, and stuff like that,” she explained.
“Long story short, a couple weeks ago, I noticed Harry was acting kind of cold and distant towards me. We’re running mates, and he never wanted to go on a run with me, and also he usually comes over to my and my husband’s house for dinner a couple of times a week, but he always seemed to have something else to do.”
Earlier today, after dealing with Harry’s weird behavior for some time, she finally called him up and confronted him about how he had been acting.
Harry did say he knew he wasn’t being fair but that he had to talk to her ASAP. Harry then came over while her husband was away at work and sat down to speak with her.
What Harry told her completely shocked her to her core, as she always assumed they had a relationship like siblings do.

“He told me he realized over the past couple of weeks that the connection he feels with me is not a brotherly connection, but rather he’s in love with me,” she said.
“I was speechless and had absolutely no idea what to say. I felt so stupid for never picking up on the signs before, and then I kept asking myself, were there any signs? My husband and our families certainly never noticed anything weird.”
“He rambled on for a while, but to be fair, I was too shocked to really take in what he was saying. He did say a bunch of stuff about how he and his brother are so different, and he and I are so similar, so how could I love his brother?”
“Which makes no sense at all because I’m absolutely crazy about my husband, and I would never, ever consider leaving him, let alone for Harry. I love him so much, and I really have no idea where this is coming from.”
Harry then informed her that he does not care what she does or doesn’t do with his love confession so long as her husband never learns of it.
She pointed out to Harry that he put her in a terrible place by confessing his love yet expecting her not to tell her husband about this. Harry then snapped at her that she put him where he is now before walking out of her house and slamming her door behind him.
After Harry left, he called her twice, but she is not going to pick up his calls. She also locked herself inside of her home with an emergency key that she has because Harry has a spare key to her home, and she doesn’t want him walking back into her house, trying to convince her to be with him.
“I know I can’t not tell my husband, not only because I think it’s the right thing to do, but also because my face is a literal open book, and my husband will spot right away that something is wrong, the second he comes home from work,” she continued.
“Which is in three hours. Any advice? Do I maybe tell him and ask him not to confront his brother about it? Or his family? I know no one in that family is ever speaking to Harry again if they find out what he did. I’m at a complete loss.”
