HUSBAND’S BROTHER IN MY DREAMS

-

Dear Coleen

I’ve always joked around a lot with my brother-in-law and he is so caring towards me.

I love my husband – I’ve never questioned that – but I’ve found I’m dreaming a lot about my brother-in-law and I’ve called out his name in my sleep!

I guess it must be obvious that there’s a connection between us, as his wife came to me complainin­g about it and said I should stop talking to her husband.

However, he’s still talking to me. What’s your opinion?

Coleen says

Awks, as the kids would say. Look, if you love your husband and you know this friendship is causing a problem, then why are you still seeing or talking to your brotherin-law so much?

You have the power to not talk to him or tell him politely you think it’s inappropri­ate as his wife doesn’t like it and you’re calling out his name in your sleep. Create some distance between you and him.

And be honest with yourself – think about if there might be something lacking in your marriage. Perhaps you’re looking at him and seeing something you’re not getting from your husband. If that’s the case, then you need to sort it out.

It sounds to me as if this guy fancies you and is being a big flirt. There might even be a touch of sibling rivalry in the mix – and you’ve been flattered by it. But don’t get so far into this fantasy you think you can run off into the sunset together without causing heartache for your family.
