Strawberry Letter: Trifling Husband [AUDIO]
Subject: Trifling Husband
Dear Steve and Shirley,
I have been married for a little over 3 years. My husband has a twin brother. His brother and mother live in California and we live in DC. His brother showed up 1 year after we were married and I was astounded just how identical they were. They even had their hair cut the same and moved with the same mannerism but where my husband is quite and reserve his brother is loud and attention seeking. Ok here’s the problem- 4 months ago I went over seas for a month came home to what I though was my husband and made love on the living room floor. It was not my husband but his brother who said nothing until the act was over. I know this sound impossible like a bad soap opera. I felt sick to my stomach when he revealed who he was, and ordered him out of my house. It was all a big joke to him and he even said he dared me to tell my husband, he only left when I called my brother to the house. I told my brother what had happened and he was furious and stayed with me until my husband got home. I told my husband what happened and he cried and was very broken up about it. My brother insisted that my husband phone his brother to return to our house so that they could confront him but my husband would not. He said later that he did not want my brother to kill his brother, his brother has since left town. Since then my husband and I have not slept together. My brother is very angry on my behalf and it really bothers me how my husband is willing to forgive his brother. He will not tell his mother what happened. At first I just felt betrayed now I feel so angry I want to punch my husband. He came home today and had the gall to tell me that he had heard you say on your show that a woman who slept with her husband’s brother is trash. his words were the last straw. I just left and I am at my brother’s house. I simply told him I had left my husband because I could not get over what had happened with his brother. My brother would probably beat the living day lights out of him for what he said. I know how much stock my husband places in your opinion so please set him straight because I am done with him and will be moving my things out this weekend.
Hurt and Shell shocked
