In love with my sister’s husband?

0

Alright well… This has been going on for a few years. First off, I’m gay, I kind of just want to make sure I’m approaching this correctly.

I met him while he and my sister were dating. We got along really well, have tons of the same interests, we quickly became close friends. Soon I was actually falling in love with him and couldn’t stop thinking about him for weeks at a time.

We still talk on an almost daily basis, and it’s gotten easier, but I just can’t get over how much I love him. It’s almost scary. I would do anything for him. I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t resent his relationship with my sister anymore (my sister and I have some baggage) and would never want them to get divorced or anything because I know that would break both of their hearts. The messed up thing though, is I think I care more about him than my own sister.

They actually were just having a huge fight recently and they both wanted to talk to me about what was going on. Looking back I’m not sure if it was a good idea to get involved in that or not. I think I helped, but I’m worried I wasn’t looking at things objectively.

Regardless, I obviously can’t tell him or any of my family how I feel about him and that makes it much harder. I’m assuming I just keep going with how I’m going and hope that eventually I can just unconditionally love him. Like an actual brother. Sound about right?

Unfortunately, I think you're right. I wish true love would always prevail like they do in movies, but this is reality. My best advice for you is to try to put some separation for a while. Don't cut him and your sister off completely, but spend some time on yourself. Go out to bars, movies, coffee shops, and try to find someone else you might like. If you expand your horizons, and someone starts chasing you, then it will be much easier to cope with this dilemma. Hope I helped!

hi . i don't think hanging out with him and your sister is a good idea. every relationship only and only work when two side are involved. you can say you love him but how about him ? maybe he is not into you. he just sees you as a close friend. in situation like this i don't think spending more time with him is a good idea . unless you want to hurt at least your sister. maybe looking for another person for you is a better way. maybe i am wrong but i guess even if your sister and him be separated even in that case still you will broke your sisters hurt if you go for him.
