Subject: I Married My Brother

Good Morning Steve and the Morning show family, I actually do not know
where to start with my letter. I guess I will start will saying I have
been in tears everyday for the last 4 months. I guess I will also start
by giving you a little history. First of all, my husband and I have been
married for almost 2 years. We met in college when I was a freshman and
he was a junior. When we met, we realized we had a lot in common. We
both grew up in the same city just on different sides of town. So we
didn't know each other.We were raised by strong single black women that
made sure we had the best, we were raised in the church, and we both
wanted to get

legal degrees. We got married shortly after I graduated college and we
relocated to Chicago in hopes of attending law school. When we got to
Chicago, I became a nurse instead and my husband got a position at a
legal firm (long story short, we didn't make it to law school). We both
are devout Christians and we have been for most of our life. We decided
that

in order to really move foward in our spiritual life, that we needed to
forgive all the people we had problems with includeing our fathers. We
didn't realize how much that unforgiveness impacted our own lives. I
made it a point to forgive my father in my heart because I knew it would
be difficult to find him. My husband, however, got in touch with his
father

and made arrangements to meet up with him when we went home for our
family reunion. They decided to meet up at the park where the reunion
was to be

held because they felt that was a neutral spot. We went home for the
family reunion in May.. To my surprise, my father was there. Even though
I hadn't seen him in almost 16 yrs, I knew it was him. I remembered the
goal me and my husband had set for ourselves so I agreed to go somewhere
and talk with him as long as we remained in the park. After about 45
minutes

of catching up, I finally asked him what he was doing at the park on
that day of all days. He mentioned that he was there to meet someone
special in his life. I figured it was probably just another women. Just
then, my husband walked up and said, I see you met my father. At that
point, I did pass out (literally). I woke up in the hospital a couple of
hours later.

After a week, my husband went back to Chicago. I remained in our
hometown with my mother. I was not ready to face all the issues on my
plate and I

couldn't just go back to Chicago with my husband/brother. After 3 mons,
I am absolutely confused about what to do. Even though we have only been
married for 2 years, we have been together for almost 5. I can't imagine

my life without him. However, I get sick to my stomach when I think
about the fact that I have been sleeping with my brother for so long. I
know deep down it isn't really our fault. I mean we did everything
right. I know the obvious thing to do is divorce him. But that is easier
said than done. I am not torn between divorce and my religious beliefs
because we got married under false pretenses. My problem is, I am torn
between doing the obvious thing and dealing with all these emotions at
the same time.
Please tell me what to do. I don't think I have anymore tears left to
cry.



what would you do??

Holy shit! Crazy situation!

aaaaaaaahahahhahah man that shit was funny i found a shirt id like to give her

haha fucked up situation though man...

yea that shit is fucked up but really she is a waste of life. like how is steve harvey gonna change anything and help, if anything he will make a joke about it on is stand up routine and writing about it on the internet to a stranger she doesnt know so the whole world can read. weirdo. I do thank her for sharing her fucked up situation makes me feel just a little better about my life knowing that mine doesnt suck and if anything goes wrong in my day i can just compare it to her life and it wont even be close to her's.

damn like 50% of the people in this country woulda done ate a hollow point through the mouth.... self inflicted... they're just lucky it happened now instead of after the 3rd kid, where they go to introduce the grand kids. if it was me id just start running like forrest gump... for real

fuckin if they had kids they could make the hills have eyes 3
