Hello everyone,

Right were to start? Will try and make is as short as I can!

I met the father of my daughter 3yrs ago after 2month I fell pregnant (was on pill) and thought my little girl was meant to be so I kept her, tried to make it work but found out he was an alcoholic and to be honest I never actually loved him, while I was with him he introduced me to his brother who I became very close friends with, but last year we became close and eventually fell for each other, I love him like I never loved any man, but he founded it very hard, it's been a year that we are together but we still haven't done anything, as he says something blocking him the fact the my daughter is his niece, wish I understand can be very hard, but I have waited a year now.. He still doesn't want to tell his family as he knows his brother will give us so much grief, his brother is very twisted and his scared that with all the grief he will give us he will walk away... But I can't take it anymore, I have lost so much confidence as I keep thinking he maybe doesn't want me, when I know it's just in his head, I want your opinion, is our love impossible? Will we ever be happy? Is our situation to twisted? Will he ever go pass that my daughter is his niece and will want to go all the way with me?

Thank you for reading

Well, Henry VIII married his brother's wife...don't think that was massively successful!
But my parents are friends with a couple where the wife married the brother after her husband died and had a child with each brother. Been married for years and years now.

I go out with my exs brother and have a child to my ex. Life is really good. You can't help attraction. All my family and friends are ok with it too. So I say why not give it a try. It's your life.

There's no such thing as 'the one' and given how he feels, yes this is impossible.

But equally, there are so many straight men in the world why on earth would you fixate on dragging you and your daughter into such a potentially confusing and dramatic situation?

There's nothing particularly wrong about it, it's just so much drama for no good reason.

You can help attraction in my opinion.

It's not right if you ask me. Wonder if anyone saying it is would be happy if the father of their child starting dating their sister. I'm sure most people wouldn't like that.
