'Help: I am in love with my sister’s husband'

Nita is in a very serious dilemma as she is madly in love with her sister's husband and the problem is threatening to make her run mad.

My name is Nita, a 26-year-old lady. I graduated from the university three years ago and have been living with my elder sister who just got married last year.

But I must confess that I have found myself falling desperately in love with Franklin, my sister's husband and I don't know how to save myself from this dangerous love.

I know many people will castigate me, call me despicable names and even curse me. Yes, I deserve such condemnation but I just wish such people can put themselves in my shoes.

Coming out to write this, I believe, is the first step towards getting a cure to the way I am feeling which I know is not natural one bit.

I can't really say when this madness started but I know I felt drawn to Franklin when he and my sister started dating and she brought him home to introduce as her boyfriend.

One thing about Franklin is that he is not just handsome but always stands out in any crowd. He is tall, has good biceps, dresses well and very cultured. Coupled with the fact that he has a very good and well-paying job and being generous made him such an attractive guy.

I did not go all out to want to have him for myself but gradually, I began to fantasize about Franklin and even began finding faults in him but I could not find any. I became jealous of my sister and during the period leading up to the wedding, I did all I could to avoid her and Franklin.

I would lock myself in my room and think about Franklin all day, imagining myself in his arms, dreaming how heavenly it would be to be made love to by him. At such times, I would masturbate and end up calling out his name.

It got so bad that my boyfriend began to detest me and was a far cry from Franklin as far as I was concerned. I had to dump him and stayed away from other men while secretly masturbating while thinking about my sister's husband.

When I graduated and went to live with them, I saw that as an opportunity to lure him into sleeping with me and I did everything possible to get his attention but he always found a way of rebuffing me.

He does it in such a way that it seems he knows what I am after but he taunts and mocks me the more.

Now, I am running mad and I may die from this disease called love.
