I am new to this site, and I have just begun reading Dr. Harley's books. I read a post saying that to avoid an A on the brink that you need to avoid the person altogether. Well what if that person is my H's brother? We live in the same town, we see each other very frequently at get togethers for family, and we have become very good friends. I have decided to break off the friendship altogether because I have begun to have romantic feelings for him, but what happens when we are attending the same graduation, birthday, holiday, etc.? Please help.

Hello,
It seems that you are wise to stop this now before you go over the edge. I would suggest that you be open to your husband about what you feelings are and how uncomfortable you are with your husband's brother. Your husband will hopefully work with you through this. If the roles were reversed wouldn't you want and respect your husband to be honest with you so you could work on this problem together?
Sharing honesty with your husband shows him the respect and love that you have for him. I wish you luck.

First off, NEVER say anything to him regarding your feelings.
Don't call him, don't be alone with him (even alone in the same room at get togethers), don't sit next to him, etc.
