Sure, but he's taking this way too far.

Correct. She screwed up, but he's been pouting for two months now. Time to be a grownup and deal with the situation.

And the brother needs to have a sit-down with the husband. He is very much at fault, too.

OP, is this how he handles ALL difficult situations, or is it really out of character?

OP... It's clear your brother-in-law is attracted to you.
It's also clear you are mutually attracted to him.

There is nothing you can do to erase the image you gave your husband.
Now he will question your faithfulness from this point forward.
Years of faithfulness can be erased with one unfaithful act.

I don't agree with his actions after the act. I mean, he should have just moved out and sent some paperwork to you instead.

My advice is for you to go to counseling. It will show you are serious in fixing this.

Better get your ducks in a row cause he seems serious in ending you marriage.

It's enough, the husband has had 2 months to vent and heal. High profile couples (like in entertainment) must handle these kind of things with regularity. If the husband ends a "strong" marriage because of this, he is an insecure wimp, sorry.

If he has a particularly competitive relationship with his brother, then maybe that's where the real hurt is. But I'm thinking this couple doesn't have the backbone to be a 'social' couple. They should stay home together if he is this sensitive.

BTW, I never saw an answer on where he was as the ball dropped. It's easily the most important moment of New Year's Eve, and he was where? She would have had to stand there like an idiot while everyone else swooned.

She stated the room was crowded, and her husband was making his way to her for the kiss. She didn't want to wait, and then she and his brother laughed and kissed each other instead while he watched. She then states the kiss was very passionate and lasted a good bit.

Some men are very visual when it comes to intimacy and sexuality. Speaking from experience, something like this can be replayed and replayed in the mind until it festers. It is difficult for some men to simply get past it.

On the other hand, how he is reacting to the whole thing (not communicating actively seeking an attorney) seems way over board for simply a kiss on new years. Looks like to me he has been questioning the marriage for a while and this simply pushed him over the edge.

I still notice several red flags on this story.

OP, do you have an answer to my prior post from last night?

Some women do this too. I've done it.

Imagination and memory are not gender-specific. This isn't about being a man; it's about being an adult.
