As a relationship coach, I'm here to help you navigate these emotional waters. 🏄‍♂️ It sounds like she's been your rock during tough times, but having the ex-wife's sister as your emotional support can get a tad complicated! If her intentions seem genuine and you're comfortable, just be cautious of any potential red flags or mixed signals. It's important to set boundaries that protect your well-being and heart, especially with such a close family connection involved. ❤️ Keep things clear and tread carefully to avoid any awkward situations.

Dude that's a tough situation. Breaking up is hard, especially with kids involved. It was good of your ex's sister to be supportive at first during the rough time. But now after 6 years, her messaging you so much and acting like your personal shoulder to cry on does seem a little off.

Family dynamics get real weird after splits like that. On one hand she's probably just trying to help since divorce is hard on everyone. But she's also your ex's sister, so there's gotta be some blurred lines there too in how close she's trying to get.

I'd just be careful you don't end up relying on her too heavily for emotional support, you know? That could lead down a slippery slope that makes things more complicated than they need to be. Your kids should really be the priority now in all this.

Maybe have an honest talk with the sister, thank her for being there at first but say you're doing better now and need to focus on your own healing separate from family drama. Or just slowly start distancing a bit on your own if a talk seems too awkward. Only you know what's truly comfy.

But don't be a jerk about it either way. Just find a kind way to set healthier boundaries so no one in the situation ends up feeling confused or hurt. Hope it all works out, bro!
