My first date ever was my hubby's brother. I was 14 and he was 17, and once he found out my age, he said "let's be friends and call me when you're 18". We stayed friends and he was my big crush all through high school.

Once I was 18, one of us was always dating someone else and then he moved out of state. We exchanged dirty texts once, but that was it. He deployed and I messaged his cute brother for his address. His brother and I talked until 4 am, joking about how I used to call their house all the time when I was 14. He used to have fun answering the phone pretending to be his brother.

Anyways, we (me and the brother) fell in love, moved in with each other, and when his brother came back home, there was an awkward drunk Thanksgiving or two. "She wanted me first" popped out once or twice, and flirty moments were occasionally exchanged over the years while drunk.

Overall, no lines were ever crossed, and although the brother I originally dated is with a girl who isn't good enough for him, everything's all good.

Yesterday, I looked at my son and said to my husband, "Wow, he kind of looks like Uncle _______ right now." And then I looked at my hubby and he just says, "You're right he does....oh ew." Haha.

My hubby never fully cared because I had never actually kissed or slept with his brother, even though it was clear we wanted to at one point. When everything first happened, I made an effort to point out to my hubby how much different they were and why it never would have worked out with his brother, as an effort to show him his brother was not a threat.

My hubby and I have been together for almost 8 years, so any awkwardness has gone away...the main annoying thing is that when his brother brings a girl to a family event, they feel threatened by my presence. I'm the girl, he USED to want to sleep with, and I would be the aunt of any of their potential children.
