[I] had mentioned meeting at some point but husband is saying no not for a long time and I've tried reassuring him nothing changes between me and him but for gods sake he is my brother who I have missed dearly and I feel like my husband has ruined what is supposed to be a happy time.".
Taking to Mumsnet to share her upset, the anonymous woman explained: "This brother who has found us was adopted out and we haven't seen or heard from him in all those years...but my husband has been acting stroppy and making comments about talking to them too much, and not bothering with him and that I'm ignoring him over 'some bloke'.".
She gave examples of her husband's strange behaviour, which included him getting annoyed when she missed his call because she was talking to her brother.
A second penned: "Your husband is being controlling, he's jealous of your BROTHER.. it's not like your going to run off into the sunset with him.
Finding a long-lost relative should be a moment full of joy and excitement, but one woman has been robbed of that precious reunion thanks to her husband's jealousy.
