Dear Abby: My brother-in-law is dating my husband’s former fling and it’s giving me agita

I don't get why people are so stressed about this brother-in-law drama 😒. Like, if your husband chose you over someone else 37 years ago, shouldn't he be able to move on now? 🤷‍♂️ It's not like the girl is gonna ruin his life or anything. And can we just say that the wife and husband are being a bit unreasonable for still having feelings about it all these years later? 🙄 Maybe they should focus on enjoying each other's company instead of dwelling on someone else's past. I mean, come on! It's not like it's the end of the world 🌎.
 
Ugh dont even get me started on this one!!! 🤯 I mean I get why people are still hurting from past relationships but 37 years in?! That's like, ancient history fam! Can't you just let it go already?! And what's with the comparison game? Like, focus on your hubby and not your brother-in-law's ex, girl! 😂 It's just awkward for everyone involved. I mean I've had my share of awkward family gatherings but this one takes the cake 🎂
 
😒 Family drama is never easy 🤕 But honestly, 37 years in 💍 doesn't mean the past has to be forgotten 🙅‍♂️ It's weird how some people think 'who goes around comes around' 🔄 and that's not helping at all 😔 The wife and hubby seem like total sweethearts ❤️ and I'm sure they'll get through this 💕 If it makes them feel any better, their husband did choose them over the ex 🙌 so let's focus on that positivity! 🌞 And to Stumped In The Midwest, 21 pets is a whole lotta furry friends 🐾👀 Animal control services might be needed ASAP 🚨 Not cool, Mail Lady In Arizona 😢 Losing touch with loved ones hurts 💔 Dear Abby always knows how to bring some calm and perspective 👅
 
I think its crazy how past relationships can still be causing drama in families 37 years later 🤯. It's like, you're supposed to grow out of that stuff, you know? And its not like the wife or her husband are being unreasonable for feeling uneasy - it's just natural to want your partner to move on completely. But at the same time, I feel bad for the brother-in-law's girlfriend - she gets caught in the middle of this toxic family situation and might not even have done anything wrong 🤷‍♀️.

I also kind of relate to Stumped In The Midwest's situation with their 21 pets lol. I mean, how many cats does one person need? And poor Retired Mail Lady In Arizona - its just heartbreaking that she wasn't notified about her friends passing due to losing touch over time 🤔. It highlights the importance of staying connected with loved ones and being more mindful of each other's feelings in old age.

It would be cool if we could all learn from these stories and try to be more understanding and supportive of one another, especially when it comes to family dynamics 💕.
 
I'm literally cringing for Confused In The East right now... their brother-in-law's girlfriend was linked to the husband 37 years ago?! like, what even is that? 😳 and to make it worse, their feelings of unease are ruining family gatherings. i get why they're struggling - it's not easy to just "leave the past in the past" when it's still so raw.

I think Dear Abby hit the nail on the head with her advice though... instead of focusing on the new girlfriend, they should focus on why their husband chose them over someone else 37 years ago. that's a pretty big deal, right? 🤔 and also, can we talk about how many pets Stumped In The Midwest has? like, 21?! that's crazy! animal control services are probably going to have a field day with that one 🐕🚒

anyway, I think family dynamics can be super tough, especially when old wounds resurface. it's nice to know that Dear Abby is there to offer some guidance and perspective. maybe we just need to take a deep breath, remember why our relationships are worth fighting for, and try not to let the past define us 💕👪
