This is literally the best relationship I\u2019ve ever been in. Alex is an ideal partner, and we never had any problems and arguments, except for his brother\u2019s wife. Her name is Ashley and my husband\u2019s brother, Sam, has recently got married to her for the second time.\n</p><p>Their relationship story is quite turbulent, as they divorced when Alex and I just got married. Nine years ago, Ashley cheated on Sam. He tried to forgive her, and they stayed together for almost a year after her infidelity, but even the family counselling didn\u2019t help, and they ended up parting ways and going to no contact with each other.\n<figure style='\"width:' class='\"wp-caption' aligncenter><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/wl-brightside.cf.tsp.li%5C/resize%5C/728x%5C/jpg%5C/555%5C/499%5C/470a7155ba8e8216167339325f.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"728\"' height='\"485\"' title='\"\"'><figcaption class='\"wp-caption-text\"'>For illustrative purposes only\n<p>I didn\u2019t have a chance to meet Ashley before she and Sam split up. Recently, they met each other and felt this spark between them again, so Sam decided to give this relationship a second chance and he and Ashley remarried.\n</p><p>I 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.\n<figure style='\"width:' class='\"wp-caption' aligncenter><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/wl-brightside.cf.tsp.li%5C/resize%5C/728x%5C/jpg%5C/540%5C/544%5C/ceafcd59cdb33824efc1326d93.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"728\"' height='\"945\"' title='\"\"'><figcaption class='\"wp-caption-text\"'>For illustrative purposes only\n<p>Literally, the first time I met Ashley, I instantly felt humiliated. She was wearing a very provocative dress. Alex and I were visiting them at their place, and she came out of the bathroom, half-dressed, specifically went to my husband and casually asked him to zip her dress up.\n</p><p>I thought it was inappropriate, but we\u2019d just met, so I didn\u2019t make a fuss about it. Before I\u2019d met Ashley, my husband once spoke about her as his \u2019relationship guru.\u2019 He said that he told her a lot about me and our perfect relationship.\n<figure style='\"width:' class='\"wp-caption' aligncenter><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/wl-brightside.cf.tsp.li%5C/resize%5C/728x%5C/jpg%5C/aa0%5C/16a%5C/43cbbb58869ec55e75aa196366.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"728\"' height='\"663\"' title='\"\"'><figcaption class='\"wp-caption-text\"'>For illustrative purposes only\n<p>The relationship between Alex and Ashley has been very weird since that first meeting. Ashley regularly makes me uncomfortable.\n</p><p>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\u2019t 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.\n</p><p>This situation is getting exhausting. One of the last times I saw her, she dared to complain 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 much now, because now Alex is married and \u2019has obligations\u2019.\n<figure style='\"width:' class='\"wp-caption' aligncenter><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/wl-brightside.cf.tsp.li%5C/resize%5C/728x%5C/jpg%5C/c8b%5C/62a%5C/c12a4c5628a367747f22cb2ec7.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"728\"' height='\"794\"' title='\"\"'><figcaption class='\"wp-caption-text\"'>For illustrative purposes only\n<p>I confronted Alex about this awkward relationship many times. He keeps saying that I\u2019m overthinking and that he\u2019s just \u2019being friendly\u2019 with his brother\u2019s 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\u2019t blame her for breaking his brother\u2019s heart in the past and that all her bad deeds are forgotten and forgiven.\n</p><p>When I asked Alex if he and Ashley had any special relationship in the past, he said that they weren\u2019t 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.\n</p><p>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\u2019m considering taking a pause in my marriage. Sometimes I think about a divorce. What should I do?\n</p><p>Source: brightside\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"</p><p>My husband and I have been happy together for 8 years.
