He Fell In Love With His Sister’s Fiancé, Who Feels The Same Way About Him, And He Let His Sister Know That He Can’t Be Part Of Her Wedding Party But He Didn’t Tell Her Why
A 26-year-old guy has a sister who is currently engaged to a guy that he wound up falling in love with.
You see, his sister’s fiancé is bi, and his sister is aware that her fiancé has had relationships with guys before he started seeing her.
Unfortunately, though, his sister has no clue that he’s totally in love with her fiancé, and her fiancé apparently feels the same way about him, yet is still planning on going through with the wedding to his sister.
Everything started approximately a year back, around the time his sister began traveling for work, and her job required her to be away for long stretches at a time.
Then, his sister’s fiancé wound up getting into an awful car wreck just a week after his sister left for her work trip.
His sister’s fiancé required someone to be his caretaker while he recovered from his injuries, and since his sister could not come home, she asked him to be her fiancé’s caretaker.
He agreed as he works from home, and so he stayed at his sister’s house to take care of her fiancé while she was on her trip for work.
“Her partner and I were already good friends prior to this situation, but living with someone and being there in some of their most intimate moments obviously strengthens a bond even further,” he explained.
“We bonded over our many shared interests and got to talk about deeper things that were typically off-limits in a group setting. By the time I realized my changing feelings, it was too late to distance myself from the situation.”

“I had committed to helping him for the duration of his recovery, and a sudden change in my behavior would just tip him off that something was wrong and add unnecessary stress to an already hard time. He had expressed feeling like a burden more than once.”
For the remaining weeks he spent helping his sister’s fiancé, he maintained a little distance from him.
And when his caretaker duties were over and done with, he really pulled back from being in his sister’s fiancé’s life.
He felt ashamed that he fell for his sister’s fiancé, but meanwhile, his sister’s fiancé was puzzled as to why he just ghosted him after spending a ton of time with him.
His sister’s fiancé then sent him a text asking if he had done anything to upset him and if that was the reason why he dropped out of his life.
He decided to meet his sister’s fiancé face-to-face to explain the real reason why, and he finally confessed his feelings when they got to see one another in person.
After he admitted his feelings, he and his sister’s fiancé thought it was best to stop spending time together since they would never be able to be together.
“Fast forward to now,” he said. “The two of them got engaged somewhat recently, and this past Saturday, my sister asked me to be in her wedding as part of her bridal party.”
“I asked her to let me think about it (which already caused some tension) and finally told her yesterday that I was incredibly grateful for her offer, but I had to turn it down.”
“I’m fine attending as a guest, but being in the party just feels too much. She is now furious with me and is demanding I give her an explanation, at the very least, something I have refused.”
Oh, and in case you are wondering, yes, he has spoken to his sister’s fiancé after they got engaged, and his sister’s fiancé says he wants to follow through with the wedding despite also feeling something for him.
Anyway, he’s left wondering if he’s mean to not disclose to his sister why he can’t be in her wedding.
