Dear Miss Emily:
I am 31, engaged to a great guy but,
unfortunately, I fell in love with his brother. We kissed and almost made
love. I told my fiance and, now, his brother treats me like dog poo even
my fiance's other family treats me bad and I feel unwelcome. I don't even
get along with my own family.
----------------------------------------------Miss Emily's advice----------------------------------
If you fell in love with your fiance's brother, then you aren't ready for marriage, period. I am not sure where you fiance stands on this issue, you didn't say, but if he were smart he would cancel the engagement. And that should be something you should want, as well. You need to be truly in love with the man you marry, and not have him be just a "great guy." The trouble that has transpired since the event with his brother seems too difficult to overcome. I think your fiance's family will make it very difficult for you to be accepted in their group. Your fiance's brother needs to take responsibility, as well. He is not an innocent party in this. He betrayed his brother. But it's often said that "blood is thicker than water" and you will be the one blamed as the temptress. You can't change what happened, and only time will tell how this plays out. From my vantage point, it doesn't look good.
