She’s Marrying Her Sister’s Ex-Boyfriend, And Her Sister Is Furious
This 27-year-old woman met he 31-year-old fiancé, Joe, when they were pretty young. Their families were quite friendly, and that’s how they ended up basically growing up together.
Joe and her older sister Jen were almost the same age, so they were closer than she was with Joe back then.
Eventually, Jen and Joe began dating when they hit high school. She didn’t exactly speak to Jen unless they were fighting, so she doesn’t know the details of her sister’s romance with Joe.
The only detail she does know is that Jen and Joe broke up in an ugly way, and they were no longer friends following that.
Anyway, to this day, she is not close to Jen. They act civilly went spending time together around their family, but that’s about the extent of their relationship.
Due to this, she has no clue about Jen’s life, and it has been that way from the beginning.
After Jen graduated from college, she moved to Chicago, and after she graduated, she remained in their home city of St. Louis.
Then, she wound up in the exact same postbaccalaureate program as Jen’s old boyfriend, Joe, and they became fast friends.
She says she genuinely forgot that Joe had ever dated Jen at all, and then she began dating Joe a couple of months after forming a friendship with him.

Joe is the best boyfriend she has ever had, and now they have been dating for four years and living together for two of those. Last month, Joe proposed to her, and she said yes. When Jen found out that she was dating Joe, Jen had no reaction. She and Joe would run into Jen around the holidays, and Jen never appeared mad at her.
However, a week ago, her family and Joe’s family got together so they could share the news of their engagement, and Jen happened to be there. After she and Joe were done sharing that they were engaged, Jen glared at her and said she had to speak to her in the other room.
“She asked if I was “trying to hurt her” or if I just didn’t care about her,” she explained. “I asked what she meant, and she said something like, “What kind of person marries her sister’s ex-boyfriend?”
“Up until that point, I had never even considered the fact that they dated in high school. I told her that she had never said anything to me in the last four years and that it had been over a decade since they dated. It quickly turned into a screaming match between us, as usual.”
“She called me… heartless…and said not to invite her to the wedding. I said something something awful about how no one would want her there anyway before my mom stepped in and ended the whole party.”
Ever since then, some of her loved ones are on her side, and believe Jen should have expressed how upset she was prior to her and Joe getting engaged. These same loved ones feel that Jen is jealous of the fact that she’s getting married first.
But, then, some of her loved ones think that she should have never agreed to date Joe in the first place since Jen had already dated him.
She’s left wondering if it is wrong of her to marry her sister’s ex-boyfriend. What do you think?
