I Was Engaged With 2 Brothers At The Same Time
Hey, guys. My name is Linda. I'm telling this story because, right now, this is the only way I have to talk. I ruined my wedding and I lost my family because of my bad decisions. Please listen to this story to the end and don't judge me.
I've been dating a guy since college. His name is Bruce, and he's just great. He immediately made it clear that he had serious intentions with me, and that being with me wasn't a phase he was going through. He introduced me to his family and they accepted me as their own. I loved spending time with them. There was always an atmosphere of kindness and fun in their house. Bruce's parents loved to take care of me and were interested in my life, and his younger brother, Jack, always knew how to make me laugh. I felt like they were the family I had been missing in my life. My relationship with my parents has always been difficult. I don't know why. I was never a difficult child, but I always felt like my mom and dad were tired of me and wanted me to leave as soon as possible. And soon, I had the opportunity to do just that. Right after college, Bruce proposed to me, and I was incredibly happy to say, "Yes" to him. We scheduled the wedding to happen in six months, and I just couldn't wait for it to be the happiest event of my life.
We were spending so much time in the bustle and preparation for our wedding, and at some point, I began to notice strange things happening when it came to the behavior of my fiance's brother. He had changed, and he became sad. On top of that, I realized that he was trying to tell me something, but didn`t dare. One day, Jack was helping me with my shopping, and that's when I finally figured it out. He started talking about my relationship with his brother, and said that he was very jealous of him because he was so lucky to have found such a good girl. That was a nice compliment, but there was more to it than that. I realized that Jack felt something for me, and I felt really uncomfortable. This went on for several months. Every once in a while he would start this conversation again, and at some point I realized that he was in love with me. In fact, I felt sorry for Jack, because my heart belonged to Bruce, and there was nothing I could do about his feelings. But soon the balance shifted and the scales fell to the other side.
It all happened at Jack's birthday party. There were a lot of guests, everyone was having fun and dancing. Jack somehow found the courage that day to tell me everything straight out. He said he loved me, and he didn't want me to marry his brother, because then his life would lose any meaning. I didn't even know what to say to that. But suddenly, he leaned over and kissed me. And that was exactly what Bruce saw when he walked into the room. Everything that happened next was utter horror. Bruce started running toward Jack, and I don't know what would have happened if our friends hadn't reacted and started pulling him away. He shouted and swore and insulted Jack. His friends took him away to comfort him, and I stayed with Jack. I felt sorry for him. I didn't expect this to happen and I had never expected this anger from my fiance. Over the three years of our relationship, I had never seen him like this. After that, I explained everything to Bruce, and told him that it was a literal accident. Everything was OK between us, but the balance was off and a lot of things came up.
We continued to prepare for the wedding, but I couldn't stop thinking about the fact that Bruce could be so angry at his own brother. Maybe he had a reason, but they were family, and they could've talked it over peacefully. But Bruce didn't want to have anything to do with his brother. Even more, he forbade me from communicating with him. But I wasn't going to listen to him. Yeah, Jack did the wrong thing, but you can't blame him for falling in love with me. The heart wants what the heart wants. Besides, I felt sorry for Jack. After this happened, he not only fought with his brother, but also with his parents. They thought he wanted to ruin our wedding. At that moment I was the only person he had to talk to. So we kept in touch in secret, and even took a walk a few times. The awkwardness between us disappeared, and we became closer to each other. At some point, Jack went back to talking about how he loved me, and this time I didn't react so harshly. He walked me home one day and we planned to say goodbye. Suddenly I understood that every evening he was returning home, where everyone judged him, and considered him an enemy. And Jack had to endure this every day. I felt like I liked his strength...文本并非一一对应，仅供参考
