Angela, 33, is our devoted reader, who wrote us a letter and shared a story about her difficult family situation. The woman has no one to talk to about a desperate situation she’s facing with her husband. She’s afraid that her friends and parents won’t understand her, so the woman decided to ask the opinions of people on the internet. Angela is looking for a good piece of advice from our readers, and here’s her story.

The woman wrote, “Hi Bright Side! My husband and I have been happy together for 8 years. This is literally the best relationship I’ve ever been in. Alex is an ideal partner, and we never had any problems and arguments, except for his brother’s wife. Her name is Ashley and my husband’s brother, Sam, has recently got married to her for the second time.
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’t help, and they ended up parting ways and going to no contact with each other.

I didn’t 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.
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.”
