Her Sister Makes Her Husband Uncomfortable Every Time She Visits, So She Finally Went Off On Her Sister For Not Respecting Him
If you’ve ever brought a friend or partner over to meet your family, chances are, you were embarrassed by one of them at some point.
One woman is unsure of what to do after going off on her sister because she makes her husband uncomfortable anytime she visits.
She is very close to her mom and sister, who often visit her house. She comes from a very touchy-feely family who loves to show friendly affection.
“It’s never made us uncomfortable, and it’s just thought of as being friendly,” she explained.
However, her husband is a different story. He cannot stand being touched for several reasons. He’s a sweet and loving man but has issues with being touched by people he isn’t that close to.
For instance, she wasn’t allowed to show him physical affection until they were deep into their relationship.
Everyone in her family has accepted the way her husband is and leaves him alone except for one person, her sister.
Her sister tries to be very playful with her husband. Anytime she visits with them, she sneaks up behind her husband and scares him, then tries to wrap him up in a big hug afterward. She often places her hands around or on his arm when speaking to him.
This is how her sister normally interacts with people, but for some reason, she can’t understand that her husband doesn’t want to be touched in that way.

“He doesn’t like to say anything and tells me it doesn’t bother him. But, he visibly just about jumps out of his skin every time,” she said.
“It makes him not want to [converse] or be around us. She just kind of overwhelms him into standing in the back of the room in silence.”
She’s tried asking her sister to ease up on her husband, but she always says he’s acting shy and will get over it. It’s been four years, and her husband still doesn’t like the touching. Things have gotten so bad that her husband has started sitting in a different room whenever her family comes over.
Her frustration eventually boiled over, and she texted her sister, telling her that if she didn’t start keeping her hands to herself, she wasn’t allowed over anymore.
Her sister called her crying and said she was only trying to make her husband feel like part of their family before hanging up. Then, her mom called and told her they were both immature and that she was making too big of a deal out of the entire situation.
Her mom and sister have been making her so stressed that she decided to stop answering their texts and calls for a while.
“My husband feels terrible and thinks this stupid argument is all his fault,” she added.
“I still think I should have said something, but it feels like I just made everything worse.”
Was she right to tell her sister to keep her hands to herself, or did she cause too much drama?
