| 0:00.0 | I overheard my sister confessing her love for my fiance, leaving me in a weird situation where I seriously now don't know what to do. Here's what happened. Okay, so my friends recently hosted a little party get-together for my sister since she had been gone for a while in Florida with her boyfriend, but was coming back up north after they broke up. It had some of our mutual friends, along with some of her old high school buddies |
| 0:21.1 | and some cousins. My fiancé and I had gotten there a little bit late, but we were excited to join |
| 0:25.5 | the celebration, and I was mostly happy to see my sister again, since she has been pretty |
| 0:29.7 | distance and rarely texted or called us. Nothing really happened other than some shots being |
| 0:34.4 | poured and food being ordered until it was getting late and people |
| 0:37.5 | started getting really drunk. Since wedding planning has been exhausting, my fiance and I were going |
| 0:42.1 | to leave early. Now, to sum up a really quick moment, I had been walking to the bathroom and past |
| 0:46.6 | the bathroom where I heard my sister crying into somebody's arms. Originally, I was going to go see |
| 0:51.4 | if I could help her out or comfort her, but then I heard my fiance's name and I paused. I definitely think I was the jerk for listening in, but I was curious and a bit drunk myself. But from what I gathered, she was sobbing about how seeing my fiance made it all real again, and that she didn't want to deny her feelings anymore, especially now that he's getting married to me. What really stuck out to me |
| 1:11.1 | was when she said that she just wanted him to notice her too. I left pretty quickly after that, |
| 1:15.6 | and haven't told anyone about what I heard. Maybe I never saw the signs, but she was always so |
| 1:20.3 | polite and friendly with my fiance. She knew him before anyone else since we were high school |
| 1:24.9 | sweethearts, and I came out to her first when I was struggling with my identity. It is just such a strange thing to hear this from her, but part of me just wants to blame it on my drunk brain. She's never said anything like this before, and even greeted him when we got to the party, and they connected on a mutual interest for a bit, and she was so warm to me as well. I want to confront her to see if she meant it, but I'm also just so terrified of the result of all of it. My family has stayed drama-free, and I would hate to ruin everything now that my sister just got back from being away. I really need advice on how to proceed, and how to ask her about it without causing a scene. The party was a week ago, and I just feel sick whenever she messages me or calls to ask about wedding stuff or just chatting in general. So I know that I need to do something. Has anyone been in a situation like this before? Because right now, I don't know what to do. Before we go any further, the original poster has an update that they would like to share. Here's what they had to say. First of all, I want to thank all the people that responded. I really didn't expect to get so much advice, and I probably would have still been panicking and bottling this up if you guys didn't help out. But unfortunately, it still went bad, but I'm glad I listened to you guys for all of it. Also, to clarify a few things I saw people get confused on in the comments. My fiancé is gay and I never doubted his |
| 2:34.9 | loyalty, which is why I barely mentioned him in the original post. I was mostly concerned about my |
| 2:39.8 | sister since we wanted her in the wedding party, so it was extra scary to hear she was crushing |
| 2:44.8 | on my fiancee. Along with that, I know a lot of you said to just leave it be, but for the reason |
| 2:49.8 | above, along with my personal beliefs, I really did not want to let it simmer. Anyways, I ended up talking with my fiancé the day after I made the post, once he got home from work and we were settled. I sort of just word vomited at him, but I tried to remember the advice that I had gotten. Well, he was equally disturbed, and probably a bit more since he has dealt with a similar situation at work once. We both definitely wanted to talk to her and just clear the air, and ended up making a little plan to meet her in a park. Originally, it was just going to be me, but my fiancee wanted to stay nearby in the car. So, yesterday, I texted her and we met up. Honestly, I'm still recovering from everything she said to me, so I won't repeat much of it here. The basic idea is that once we chatted for a bit, I brought it up gently that I had heard her at the reunion party, and I wanted to communicate with her about the things that she said. One thing I didn't feel the need to mention in the original post was that I'm also a transgender man, And it didn't matter to the issue, or at least I thought I didn't. However, once I asked my sister, she started on a whole tirade with a lot of right-wing talking points, mostly that she didn't get why my fiance was settling for a confused girl, rather than someone like her, and admitting that yes, she has feelings for him since she thinks he deserves better than me. I didn't say much to her, but once I realized what was going on, I just said that I was done and I laughed. I really don't know how she's changed so much since the girl I grew up with because she used to be super supportive, which she even acknowledged, and said that she was just as lost as I am. After that, I was just a mess. My sister is living with my parents while she works to get a job in a new area, so she's also started telling them about the conversation. Both of my parents don't want to get involved, which I understand, and I tried texting her to tell her to stop bothering them, but she blocked me, so I guess that's that. My fiance wants to cut her from the wedding as a whole, and I'm just leaning on him as a pillar right now. I wish this was a happier update, and at this point, I still seriously don't know what to do. Okay, first off, the way that your sister's treating you is so disrespectful. She seriously is trying to, like, throw you under the bus and be like, your fiance deserves me instead of you. You're just a confused girl. You don't know what you want. And it's like, wait a second, what is going on right now? So truly, I think your fiance has a good point. And I think it would be smart to possibly cut her from the wedding, especially if she's talking about you like that. Because that's super toxic and you do not deserve that in the slightest.

And at this point, I'm honestly not sure what to do. Here's what happened. So I've lived with a very entitled and emotionally |
| 5:24.8 | impulsive mother for most of my life, and I'm thinking about finally cutting contact once I move |
| 5:29.5 | out. Today we got into it, because I made a snide comment about our chips and dip being gone so |
| 5:34.5 | quickly. I bought some for myself and only had maybe two bowls of chips and some dip and was basically gaslit into thinking that I had eaten it all, even though I clearly remember not eating the dip to the point that it was even halfway gone. It's a ridiculous thing to get upset about, I know, but then she got super defensive and argumentative and berated me. I wasn't even that upset about it. What really upset me |
| 5:55.2 | was her gaslighting me about it and berating me. That's when I walked away and she, of course, |
| 5:59.8 | came and knocked on my door about it and I was boiling on the inside. I usually shut down during |
