Follow your heart and go for it. You are not with his brother now plus your family and friends will get used to it. If you both want to be in a relationship together then why not?

AngelofLove agony auntLife is to short to live it by how other people expect you to live it.

It could be a coincidence you have fallen for someone of your husband's family.

If you love him and he loves you, then it is not wrong if you are both single and can make each other happy.

Relatives may need time adjusting but if they really care for you they will let you decide who you choose to spend your life with.

It is your decision at the end of the day.

Good luck

cd206 agony auntThis is such a hard one to answer. I'm sure nobody in your family expects you to stay single for the rest of your life and two years is quite enough time to mourn but it will be controversial if you start seeing your brother in law. If it's what you both want and you're sure about that then you'll be prepared to take whatever hassles come your way as a result of this decision but if it all seems like too much it might not be meant to be. Also, are you completely sure that you're not confusing affection with love? After all I assume your brother in law was there for you when your husband died and that can form a very strong connection between two people, but it doesn't necessarily mean you're meant to be together.

Shelley-jade agony auntYou feel close to him perhaps because he reminds you alot of your late husband.

Do not worry about what other people might say. If you two both want this then you shoud go for it.

Remember your husband would want you to be happy.
