Dear Abby: My husband’s relationship with my brother is crossing the line

I didn’t mean to snoop, but I was shocked and couldn’t unsee this. I immediately asked what was going on, and he very defensively told me it was an inside joke and that I shouldn’t be reading his texts over his shoulder.

I feel crazy for even thinking what I’m thinking, but could something be going on between my brother and my husband? I don’t even know how to begin to confront this issue, and I’m afraid if I ask my husband point-blank, he will lie to my face. I feel lost and betrayed. Please help. — CRESTFALLEN IN COLORADO

DEAR CRESTFALLEN: As thrilled as you are about this pregnancy, your husband may be less so. In fact, he may regard the approaching arrival of his child as a door closing on having a life. There are straight men (“men’s men”) who prefer the company of men over that of women. Because you are afraid to confront your husband about what you saw, have an in-person talk with your brother and ask him why he sent a heart emoji to your husband.

Dear Abby: Some people have real problems. This isn’t one. Just strap on one with the best of them!

Abby's answer is perfect. The fact her brother is gay is irrelevant here, this is just beautiful platonic love in action. But of course the frau doesn't understand that because fraus don't bond in a jokey quasi-sexual way like that.

Oh they’ve sat next to each other… with their pants off and kissing. Totally heterosexual.

Bro Twist?

Bro Nasty!

(also, these are all made up these days. all of them)

Dear Crestfallen,

Your husband is obviously fucking your brother.

Just go with it, gurl.

At least while you're pregnant.

Hubby needs a release.

Okay, I've just now realised there's no mention of her brother being gay. So this is even more of a non-issue.

Dear Crestfallen: How awful a specimen can you be that your own husband AND your brother would rather have gay sex with each other than spend any time with you? I don’t know how, but this is your fault!

[quote] They text constantly, and almost every weekend they are taking a hunting trip...

I knew someone like that once.

Someone in the NYPost comments wrote: "Your husband is cheating on you with a woman, not your brother. His girlfriend's number has your brothers name attached to it, so when she calls or he calls her, you will only see your brother's name. I've seen it before."

I'm so homosexual that I hadn't even thought of this possibility.

The brother and potential groom should just fuck around and find out, right?

Ditch the bitch and make the switch!

Which one of you bitches wrote this?

Is there a video to go along with this story, ma'am?

And how much are you charging?

How *very* NY Post.

this shit isnt real but its a fun set up.

She should come here to the UK. All men, gay or straight, call each other 'babe', 'darling', 'honey', 'sweetheart' etc. It would blow her tiny mind.

Please send a photo of your husband and brother so my son and I can pray for them.

I'm sure it's real, somewhere, R17.

Somewhere in this country, a woman's husband is banging her brother.

You can bet on it.

Hasn't she seen Brokeback Mountain?

R18 that’s not a selling point. You people also say stupid things like arse and wanker…and don’t get how crass “cunt” reslly is.

You’re hubby’s a whore, darling

While Abbey's response is the thoughtful and rational response, does ANYONE actually believe the brother and husband aren't hooking up?

If this were reddit, I'd also question whether the OP's version of events is reality or whether the husband didn't "meet" her as a cover for hooking up with the brother, planned with or without the brother's input.

Apparently, using your partner as a beard/merkin without their knowledge to get close to their sibling is a common theme in the reddit universe.

You've just described Peter Sarsgaard, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Jake Gyllenhaal.

I wouldn't be surprised if they cuddled or made out during the hunting trip.

My intuition says the letter writer is really uptight and unaffectionate. People need warmth, touch and affection.

COCKSUCKERS!

Has Matt Damon commented?

Very true. When me and my posse get together for horseshoes and Sauvignon Blanc, things a little too rough and tumble for a lady's company.

I have a sister who is 13 years older. When I was 16. and beyond...

When you marry the sister, you also get the brother. That’s a well-established understanding,

is there anyway to tell from the sister if the brother will have a hot cock? or do you sample the wares directly before you propose to the sister

Interestingly, the sister didn't comment more about her brother. Is her brother straight? Perhaps he's gay and closeted.
