Angela, 33, is\u00a0our devoted reader, who wrote\u00a0us a\u00a0letter and shared a\u00a0story about her difficult\u00a0family\u00a0situation. The woman has no\u00a0one to\u00a0talk to\u00a0about a\u00a0desperate situation she\u2019s facing with her husband. She\u2019s afraid that her friends and parents won\u2019t understand her, so\u00a0the woman decided to\u00a0ask the opinions of\u00a0people on\u00a0the internet. Angela is\u00a0looking for a\u00a0good piece of\u00a0advice from our readers, and here\u2019s her story.\n

The woman wrote, \u201cHi Echo Woven! My\u00a0husband and\u00a0I have been happy together for 8\u00a0years. This is\u00a0literally the best relationship I\u2019ve ever been\u00a0in. Alex is\u00a0an\u00a0ideal partner, and we\u00a0never had any problems and arguments, except for his brother\u2019s wife. Her name is\u00a0Ashley and my\u00a0husband\u2019s brother, Sam, has recently got married to\u00a0her for the second time.
\nTheir relationship story is\u00a0quite turbulent, as\u00a0they divorced when Alex and\u00a0I just got married. Nine years ago, Ashley cheated on\u00a0Sam. He\u00a0tried to\u00a0forgive her, and they stayed together for almost a\u00a0year after her infidelity, but even the family counselling didn\u2019t help, and they ended up\u00a0parting ways and going to\u00a0no\u00a0contact with each other.\n

I\u00a0didn\u2019t have a\u00a0chance to\u00a0meet Ashley before she and Sam split\u00a0up. Recently, they met each other and felt this spark between them again, so\u00a0Sam decided to\u00a0give this relationship a\u00a0second chance and he\u00a0and Ashley remarried.
\nI first met her right before their second wedding. I totally wanted for us to be good friends, but things have been developing in a totally different way.\u201d\n\n

\n

Angela has been seeing red flags in\u00a0her husband\u2019s SIL\u2019s behavior from the start.\n\n

Angela goes on\u00a0with her story, saying, \u201cLiterally, the first time\u00a0I met Ashley, I\u00a0instantly felt humiliated. She was wearing a\u00a0very provocative dress. Alex and\u00a0I were visiting them at\u00a0their place, and she came out of\u00a0the bathroom, half-dressed, specifically went to\u00a0my\u00a0husband and casually asked him to\u00a0zip her dress\u00a0up.\n

I\u00a0thought it\u00a0was inappropriate, but we\u2019d just met, so\u00a0I didn\u2019t make a\u00a0fuss about\u00a0it. Before I\u2019d met Ashley, my\u00a0husband once spoke about her as\u00a0his \u2019relationship guru.\u2019 He\u00a0said that he\u00a0told her a\u00a0lot about me\u00a0and our perfect relationship.\u201d\n\n

\n

Things have become even more unhealthy with time.\n\n

Angela continues her story, saying, \u201cThe relationship between Alex and Ashley has been very weird since that first meeting. Ashley regularly makes me\u00a0uncomfortable.
\nShe often pulls my\u00a0husband away to\u00a0talk one on\u00a0one. She touches Alex regularly, and what is\u00a0even more annoying is\u00a0that they both have that small inside jokes, so\u00a0I just sit there like a\u00a0fool, because\u00a0I don\u2019t really get them. Ashley often makes silly voices to\u00a0Alex and they both laugh, this woman just straight ignores\u00a0me, though\u00a0I always act super friendly towards her.\n

This situation is\u00a0getting exhausting. One of\u00a0the last times\u00a0I saw her, she dared to\u00a0complain that in \u2019good old times\u2019 she and Alex were talking every day about different things and were literally best friends. She said they don\u2019t talk as\u00a0much now, because now Alex is\u00a0married and \u2019has obligations\u2019.\u201d\n\n

\n

Angela\u2019s husband doesn\u2019t think that his real with his SIL\u00a0is a\u00a0problem.\n\n

Angela wrote, \u201cI\u00a0confronted Alex about this awkward relationship many times. He\u00a0keeps saying that I\u2019m overthinking and that he\u2019s just \u2019being friendly\u2019 with his brother\u2019s wife. He\u00a0explained that he\u00a0knows how much Sam loves Ashley, and he\u00a0just wants to\u00a0make sure that she smoothly fits into the family again. Alex says that by\u00a0being extremely friendly, he\u00a0tries to\u00a0show Ashley that he\u00a0doesn\u2019t blame her for breaking his brother\u2019s heart in\u00a0the past and that all her bad deeds are forgotten and forgiven.\n

When I\u00a0asked Alex if\u00a0he\u00a0and Ashley had any special relationship in\u00a0the past, he\u00a0said that they weren\u2019t friends and that Ashley was exaggerating when she told me\u00a0that they used to\u00a0talk a\u00a0lot. He\u00a0says that once she helped him get over some unfortunate relationship with some girl he\u00a0dated, and she was his help and support in\u00a0that situation, nothing more.\n

But I\u00a0feel like everything is\u00a0wrong between Alex and\u00a0me, and, specifically, between him and Ashley. I\u00a0even thought of\u00a0it\u00a0being an\u00a0emotional infidelity, and now I\u2019m considering taking a\u00a0pause in\u00a0my\u00a0marriage. Sometimes I\u00a0think about a\u00a0divorce. What should I\u00a0do?\u201d\n\n

And here\u2019s a\u00a0story of\u00a0a\u00a0woman, who broke a\u00a0happy family and became a\u00a0mistress\u00a0of\u00a0a\u00a0married man. The woman expected a\u00a0paradise in\u00a0her relationship with her beloved, but her life turned into a\u00a0big nightmare.\n\n
