I am 35 years old, my husband is 42, and we have one child (a daughter in second grade).
My brother is 38, his wife is 36, and they have one child (a son in third grade).
Each of us had a happy family, but actually...
My husband was having an affair with my sister-in-law.
When my brother's family and I returned to my parents' house, we all drank alcohol at night. My family (father, mother, brother, and I) are weak drinkers, so we all fell asleep.
I woke up in the middle of the night because I was thirsty, but my husband was not next to me. When I went downstairs, I heard heavy breathing and moaning from the living room.
I thought my brother and his wife were having sex, and I was nervous and thought about going back to the bedroom, but I was thirsty, and the kitchen was on the opposite side of the living room, so I thought it would be okay to go there quietly.
I opened the refrigerator, drank barley tea, and tried to sneak back to the room, but...
But where did my husband go? I thought for a moment...
(Could it be my husband in the living room?!)
Once I thought about it, I couldn't help but be curious.
I started to get really curious.
Besides, my brother seemed more drunk than I was, so it was hard to believe he was having sex with his wife in that state...
So I went to peek into the living room.
They were still in the middle of having sex.
My husband was unmistakably the one groping my sister-in-law's large breasts and thrusting his hips while holding her big butt.
I ran back to the bedroom, escaping from the living room where I could hear heavy breathing and the sound of skin slapping.
I was completely sober, and even looking at my daughter's sleeping face in the bedroom, I couldn't calm down thinking that my husband and sister-in-law were still having sex in the living room.
I looked at my husband's phone, which was by the pillow, but it was locked.
I tried various things to unlock it, like my husband's birthday, my birthday, my daughter's birthday, and my sister-in-law's birthday, but none of them worked.
Then, I tried entering my brother's son's birthday... and it opened.
I wondered why, but I understood after reading recent emails from my sister-in-law...
"Recently, my husband has been saying he wants a second child. Maybe he instinctively wants his own child? But I want my second child to be yours. Even at your parents' house the day after tomorrow... please inside me."
(Second child too... does that mean the first child of my brother's family is my husband's child??)
My brother's child is one year older than my daughter.
...That means my husband and sister-in-law have been involved since my husband and I were newlyweds.
No, more than that, my sister-in-law found out she was pregnant in October, the year I married my husband, on my birthday. She was three months pregnant at that time...
My husband and I had our wedding in June.
My husband got my sister-in-law pregnant the month after our wedding.
Realizing this, I went mad with anger.
I went to my parents' and brother's bedroom, woke them up forcibly, and rushed to the living room.
My sister-in-law and husband were in an unmistakable compromising position.
They made poor excuses like "I was drunk and mistook her for my wife (me)" or "I (sister-in-law) mistook him for my husband," but my husband's semen was dripping from my sister-in-law's thigh as she made excuses...
I showed my brother the emails from my sister-in-law on my husband's phone.
My brother was so upset and distraught that it was pitiful.
No, I think my parents and I were all distraught.
When my brother told my sister-in-law, "Show me your phone too," she reluctantly handed it over, but it was locked like my husband's.
She desperately resisted giving the number, but after some back and forth, she said it in a small voice...
And what came out were not only emails about her affair with my husband...
The most recent emails were exchanges with another man, saying things like, "I'll come over on Monday during the day when you get back!"
My brother's house is an apartment, and this man lived in the same apartment, a floor below, and my brother knew him well. He frequently came up to my brother's house and had relations with my sister-in-law.
In such a situation where everything was exposed, my sister-in-law shamelessly begged my brother, "Forgive me! I won't do it again," and "I really love you."...
My parents and I were too stunned to speak.
My husband, on the other hand, said he was going to the bathroom and fled my parents' house, showing an unbelievable level of cowardice by running back home.
After that, I eventually divorced my husband, received a division of assets, and live on alimony and child support from him.
I was going to claim alimony from my sister-in-law too, but...
Unbelievably, my brother and his wife did not divorce.
So, I didn't claim alimony because it would directly damage my brother's household.
My parents and I opposed it, but my brother seems determined to raise the child of my ex-husband and his wife.
And now, my sister-in-law is pregnant.
My brother was happy, saying, "My child will be born," but...
From what my ex-husband said when he came to see our daughter, it seems my sister-in-law is still involved with my ex-husband and other men.
When I start talking about my sister-in-law, my brother gets angry and says, "You don't know anything about her," and we can't have a conversation.
Is there any way to make my brother understand reality?
