I AM SECRETLY IN LOVE WITH MY SISTER’S HUSBAND- ANONYMOUS WOMAN SHARES HER PAINFUL CONFESSION

It’s a secret I’ve carried for years, one that eats me up from the inside every time I see them together. My sister’s husband,the man I wish was mine.

I don’t even know when it started, but I’ve always admired him. The way he talks, the calmness in his voice, the way he looks at her like she’s the only woman in the world. I catch myself imagining what it would feel like to have him look at me that way.

Sometimes, I wonder what he sees in her. I’m prettier, taller, more outgoing everyone says so. Yet, his eyes never linger on me. It’s like I don’t exist. He only sees her, my sister, the woman he married.

When they visit, I help set the table, offer drinks, laugh at his jokes a little too much but he never crosses that line. And that makes it worse. Because the more he ignores me, the more I crave his attention.

I know it’s wrong. I know he’s married to my sister, and thinking this way makes me a terrible person. But I can’t help it. Sometimes I wish things were different that he had met me first, that maybe I was the one standing next to him in those wedding pictures.

It hurts to know he’ll never be mine. That no matter how much I want him, he belongs to someone else someone I share blood with.

And every day, I’m torn between guilt and longing.
