Her family does EVERYTHING for her -- things that a capable adult should do for herself.
Many times, my fiance and I have been on a date or spending time with each other, and then his sister calls and he leaves me to cater to her. It hurts my feelings when he does this.
I know family is important, and I’m not saying he shouldn’t help his sister. I have talked with him about this on multiple occasions, but he doesn’t seem to understand or isn’t interested in talking about it. Am I being unreasonable? Is there anything I can or should do to feel otherwise about it? How do I cope with my feelings about this?What concerns me about your letter isn’t that your fiance goes running to his sister’s side when he gets one of her “emergency calls.
If Sissy and her husband feel it’s safer for her to spend nights with her parents when he travels and the parents welcome her, I see no reason why you should be critical of her for it. However, that your fiance would cut short a date or some other activity you are involved in together strikes me as over the top if it isn’t a true emergency.
As I see it, you can either accept this as part of their family dynamic, or rethink marrying into that family, because they are not going to change -- and once the parents pass on, Sissy may need her brother more than ever.I dated a guy long distance for eight months. Whenever he was in my state for work, I’d go see him. Two months ago, he suddenly ghosted me! Two days prior to that, everything was fine. We texted and had a wonderful phone conversation. I’m at a loss.
At first I was sad about it, but now I’m angry. I want answers, which I know I probably won’t get. What do you think happened?Long-Distance Guy may have met another woman and ghosted you because he wasn’t man enough to be upfront about it. Another possibility is that he was never available in the first place. This is why long-distance relationships can be risky unless you know the person well, and why it’s a safer bet to focus on someone local.
