ANECDOTE

Long-Term Relationship Turned Complicated

  • Zoe dated Xavier for six years after meeting both brothers through surf lifesaving and once kissed Mitch at a party as a teen.
  • She now finds herself constantly attracted to Mitch while still in a relationship with Xavier and living around both brothers.
INSIGHT

Attraction Is Uncontrollable; Actions Aren't

  • Gemma and Annabelle emphasise that attraction happens involuntarily but actions remain controllable.
  • They warn that romanticising mundane contact with an off-limits person can escalate feelings and distort judgement.
ADVICE

Avoid Pursuing A Partner's Sibling

  • Avoid pursuing Mitch while still with Xavier because it will likely devastate Xavier and create guilt for Mitch.
  • Do pause and reassess rather than acting on impulse or romanticised fantasies.
