Is it okay if my younger sister brings her boyfriend over all the time?

[Sarahbrowne14]

I have been through a lot of heartbreak from romantic relationships over the past couple of years. My younger sister and my mom know all that has happened to me and I have expressed how sad I feel that I haven’t found a loving partner to share life with (I am 28 now.) My younger sister then got into a relationship and now she brings him over all the time. She also brings him along with us to special occasions and don’t get me wrong- I am happy for her and I want to be there for her. I just feel like it is a little insensitive of her to bring him around all the time and show PDA in front of us, especially since she’s been my confidante during all my recent heartbreaks. My heartbreaks haven’t been small…I recently found out over a month ago that the guy I had been talking to for almost a year had hidden from me the fact that he has a son. My sister knows all my pain and so does my mom. Yet nobody seems to be compassionate with me. Sometimes I just sit in my room crying because of it all and they don’t even bother to ask me what is wrong. For some reason emotional support in my family has always been nonexistent.

I know you’re hurting right now and “misery loves company” but your sister is still allowed to enjoy her life and her new relationship. I understand that it can be hard seeing your sister happily in a relationship while you just recently got your heartbroken, it makes sense why you would feel somewhat bitter but then again, she shouldn’t need to walk around eggshells with her new boyfriend to protect your feelings. I’m sure she’s not doing it to rub it into your face. Do you have anyone else that you could confide in about your heartbreak? Maybe try talking to your mom again about how you’re still hurting?

It wouldn’t be right for your sister’s life to be affected by your break-ups.

Listen.




I kinda understand where you’re coming from cause I have had my fair share of heartbreak and I’m 31 and still have not been married or had kids.




However, you cannot blame your sister for why you have personally had misfortunes when it comes to relationships. What is happening here is jealousy is taking over and is making you have hatred towards your little sister when at the end of the day, she has nothing to do with why you are single.

that sounds too selfish, she can enjoy her relationship and you should stop being so jealous.

[Sarahbrowne14]

Totally true, you read none of what I actually wrote and you are calling me selfish and jealous. Internet trolls

Stop feeling sorry for yourself. You should be happy for your sister.

You have no right to begrudge your sister and her boyfriend being happy? What if they get married? Should she not bring her husband around because YOU can't hold on to a man?

[Sarahbrowne14]

Lol I asked this question politely and you are here gaslighting me, telling me I can’t hold on to a man. Typical Karen response

[KrakenAttackin]

@Sarahbrowne14. Not gaslighting, simply drawing the obvious conclusion.

Of course it is
