writes: I've recently become concerned about my brother and my husband.They're spending too much time together, and they've also keep going to Wisconsin quite frequently, which is strange considering we have no friends/family up there, and the fact we live down in Fort Worth, Texas, so I don't get why they keep going up there.My husband's business only deals with Texas and the neighbouring Oklahoma region, so I don't get why they're acting this way.Talking to them got nowhere, they just wouldn't discuss it and accused me of being an "interfering old bitch".What do I do about this situation? It's just so odd I can't figure out what to do.

Sorry but this seems like a fake wind up question.
Anyway Wisconsin has great hunting and fishing and it seems like almost everyone has a cabin that they are happy to share. I was in Wisconsin for a quick business trip and I had two invites for fishing trips. They truly are friendly people up there.

I have driven from Michigan to Texas, and boy howdy that is a very long and tedious drive. Wisconsin to Texas would be no different. He must be flying back and forth because he would be nuts to do it repeated if he isn't in the rucking business. So the only conclusion is that there must be be something very fascinating in Wisconsin, other than cheese and cows. Since he won't tell you what it is, it's something you would not be too happy about. If I were you I'd demand to know what he's up to. I also might add that if my husband ever called me an "interfering old bitch" after I ask that very logical question, my caste iron frying pan's dent would match the one on the side of his head. If he still refuses to tell you, if I were you I'd tell him next time he goes he'll have some divorce papers waiting for him on his return.

I'm guessing your brother is single and your husband is sort of living vicarously through him by hanging out with him so he also feels single. Last time I checked, Wisconsin does have strip clubs so it doesn't take long to do the math on that one. The other thing that could be happening is that your husband has actually met someone in this neighboring city and he only tells you he's with your brother (of course, your brother is covering for him) so he can go see her. Whatever is going on it doesn't sound like it's healthy to your marriage and if he values you, he needs to curb the activity or at least include you once in awhile. There are no easy answers here, you have to talk to him, but try to sound compassionate and not bitchy or whiny when you tell him how you feel. And pick a time when you two are alone. I hope it's just a phase that passes soon. xoxox

I think you should hire a private detective to follow your brother and husband when they go on one of their "trips". You might think it's silly, but private detectives are actually quite helpful. Instead of accusing them straight, you need evidence to take them on.
Goodluck! and i hope what i said helps xxx Precious
