Did I make a mistake…
Hot topic:
“I’m ruining my sister’s engagement on purpose… because I want her man.”
A woman wrote that her sister had always been “the golden child.” Pretty, perfect, praised for breathing. Meanwhile, she was the “responsible one,” the “smart one,” the “you’ll get your moment someday” sister.
Then her sister brought home him — the fiancé. She described him like he was carved out of a romance novel: kind, funny, attentive, emotionally intelligent, the type who remembers your coffee order and asks about your day like he actually cares.
She said the first time he hugged her, she felt something she shouldn’t have felt.
And instead of shutting it down… she fed it.
Here’s where the toxicity goes nuclear.
She admitted she’s been slowly sabotaging the engagement for months:
• “Accidentally” telling him things her sister said in confidence
• Planting doubts about whether her sister is “really ready for marriage”
• Bringing up his exes at family dinners
• Suggesting her sister might be “talking to someone else”
