Question: I am a 30-year-old married woman. Sometime back, my sister (who’s 23-years-old) moved into our house as a job-change brought her into our town. Six months passed; my sister was quite happy and as per my plans I would have liked her to stay with me till the time she got married.
However, one day my husband came up to me and asked me to get my sister shifted to her own independent house as he was getting attracted towards her. He apologized for his thoughts and told me that it would be better if she lived separately.
Since then, my sister has been living separately. Earlier, my relationship with my husband was not exactly blissful but I think it was like an average married relationship.
However, this incident has damaged our relationship as I am not able to forgive him and in my mind have started considering him as a person with a bad character even though he never misbehaved with my sister and treated her respectfully. Our relationship is on a downhill. How should I handle this situation?

The only way to end this foolishness you are going through is to die.
Your husband is a good man and he did what is right for your marriage. Why should he pretend when he is bothered? He didnt do anything wrong but to show you the love is got with you. My sister be grateful he would have spoilt everything you loved if he made move. You would have lost trust for both your sister and him. He didnt chase her to suffer but she had a job to look after herself. On the other hand, he would have treated her like a blood sister which he tried in the few months the sister stayed with you and failed. I applause him for his bravery and only a few men can do what he did. Have seen men going out with their inlaw and nieces they keep at home. He is a real man.
