Her brother-in-law sends her a letter in which he confesses his love for her, but she is disgusted: "I married the wrong sister"
Some family dynamics can really be destructive. Sometimes, these are so serious they could even compromise the trust between brothers and sisters in the same family. A 25-year-old girl told on Reddit that she found herself in such a situation her because of her brother-in-law decided to declare his "love" for her, despite being married to her sister (and having two children with her). The 25-year-old sister was disgusted by this behavior and she does not know what to do, even though she knows perfectly well that she is not at fault in this matter. But how will her sister handle this?

The young woman described the context: she is 25 years old, while her sister is 33 and is married to "Jim", a 34-year-old man. The couple have a daughter who is 4 years old and their second child will be born in the next few months. Jim and his wife's sister have known each other since high school.
The 25-year-old woman with her parents until 2019 and then she moved into her sister's house to finish her university studies. During her stay at her sister's house, she always helped out around the house, took care of her granddaughter and always cooked. Her ister and her husband, Jim, were almost always at work and her interactions with her brother-in-law were always very limited: "Aside from the time in high school and college, Jim and I never talked much. I've spent very little time with him. Last week, I decided to move into my own house. And today I received Jim's letter. "
Her brother-in-law sent her a four-page, handwritten letter in which he confesses his love for her: "I married the wrong sister." The young woman was shocked and disgusted, unable to understand how Jim had "fallen in love" with her. "I wish I'd never been in their house," wrote the young woman, "now I feel like a home-wrecker, even though I know it's all his fault. I'm mad at him. What about his daughter? His son on the way? His wife? Don't he think about this?". The young woman's outrage continued: "I can't understand how he can 'fall in love' with someone who has taken care of his daughter. My sister is pregnant! I'm her sister! I can't understand how much a person can be this selfish and this stupid. How can he write a letter like this without thinking about everything he is about to lose ... how he is throwing away a beautifu,l loving family - just for a fantasy."
The young woman says she is upset and full of rage towards her brother-in-law, who has made the biggest mistake of his life - probably just to escape the responsibilities of being married. Now she doesn't know how to act, but she knows that she will have to tell her sister, breaking her heart. At the same time, she is worried that her sister might blame her. What advice would you give this woman?
