I have been happily married for two years and love my husband a lot, but have been forced to deal with a rather tricky situation at the home front. My sister-in-law recently eloped with a boy and informed us only after marrying him. There was a lot of disturbance at home, but eventually, we had to accept the boy and the marriage. Now, the problem- she married my ex-boyfriend and I haven't been able to face him once without getting embarrassed. Also, my husband doesn't know about my past. Though my ex-boyfriend tries to act as normally as he can when he comes to meet us, it's becoming extremely embarrassing for me to face the situation. Please guide me about how to deal with the situation. - By Anonymous

Answer by Dr Era Dutta: It is unfortunate that you find yourself in this tight spot. An important aspect mentioned by you is that your ex-boyfriend is trying to behave as casually as possible. This is a good sign. It will be good for both the parties if you try to keep things social, but not over-friendly. Past relationships cut in slices our attitudes towards life. It is entirely your call whether you would like to share details about your past relationship with your husband or not. If you choose to do so, ensure it is in a gentle way. Allow him time and space to process the situation. Honesty and transparency are the cornerstones of any strong relationship, needed to avoid any possibility of future misunderstanding.
