Attracted to my husbands brother

SugarAndSpice24 · 19/09/2019 22:26

Hello.I actually hate myself for saying this but I like my brother in law.I have no idea how and when I started feeling like this.We get on well and I used to casually text him (brother in law was very ill)which hubby was aware of.So now all of a sudden I feel attracted to him.He always has a lovely smile when he sees me and our hands have accidently touched when I have been passing him something.Just recently I noticed that he had blocked me on watsapp then after a week he had unblocked me.I have no idea why he had done that.I dont message him everytime.We are more like friends.I guess,what I want to know is why he blocked me then unblocked me if we are just friends.
I would never cheat on my husband and really feel ashmed for being attracted to someone,especially his brother.

My advice is to never breathe a word of it and maybe cut down contact until the feelings have gone

Maybe he blocked you because he thought you were coming onto him?

Maybe you have been acting differently and he panicked.

Give your head a wobble and stop the feelings in their tracks.

@BenefitoftheDoubt do you think so?I have never ever gave him that impression though!I have never flirted with him and our texting has been just like friends.Omg I know I like him but I would be mortified if he thought I was coming onto him.

Not worth it. If u get together it will show u what kind of person he is that he has zero regard for his brother. It’s nothing wrong with having a crush but keep it as that OP! Trust me not worth it

I think he probably likes you op, and is worried about it.

SugarAndSpice24 · 19/09/2019 22:53

@SirVixofVixHall but he never gave that impression especially when he blocked me.I had not even been messaging him when he did it.

Very odd to block you then. I just think if there is a frisson between you, and you feel it, then he will too.

Can't relate (Envy not envy)

It's often very easy to tell if someone likes you so he's probably picked up on something. You need to put it all out of your mind, stop wondering why he blocked you stop thinking about his 'lovely smile' and little touches. You're an adult, you're married and this could destroy so many lives.

Can't be unusual to fancy your husband's brother; he's a bit like your husband only not bogged down with a wife/kids presumably (no offence). I vaguely fancy my BIL who is also a free spirit.

The thing is NEVER to do anything about it. Couldn't end well for anyone. Make your own marriage more exciting for the frisson instead.
