She Planned A Sibling Trip But Wound Up Leaving Her Sister Behind Because Her Sister Refused To Go Without Bringing Her New Boyfriend, Who She Hates
Not long ago, this 27-year-old woman wanted to take a trip with her brother, 25, and her sister, 21.
She started planning the vacation because she was paid a lot of money after she completed a project that she’d spent months working on.
Plus, she and her siblings hadn’t gotten together in quite a bit, so she thought it would be nice for them to go to the next town over from where they all lived so that they could enjoy some quality sibling bonding time.
Since the trip was her idea, she let her brother and sister know that she would pay for everything, including gas, shopping, and food.
Her sister is currently in college, and a little bit ago, her sister ended a long-term relationship.
She and her siblings don’t give details to one another about their romantic relationships, but they are all supportive of each other.
What she did know was that her sister was unfaithful to her now ex-boyfriend, and she didn’t approve of her sister’s cheating behavior.
“I hate cheaters, considering I was a victim of one, so I know the feeling. What made it worse is she’s dating someone in high school (three years younger than her),” she said.
Even though she and her brother did their best to reason with their sister, she didn’t respect their opinions and continued dating her new boyfriend despite their disapproval.

She and her brother gave up trying to convince her that this relationship wasn’t appropriate and allowed her to make her own decisions because she’s an adult.
Over the last month, she hasn’t changed her views on her sister’s new boyfriend.
Instead, she feels more validated in her dislike of him and their relationship as a whole.
“He keeps sneaking inside our house in the middle of the night, no matter how vocal I am of not tolerating their actions. We also noticed she keeps asking for more money from me and my brother,” she explained.
Their parents still pay their sister an allowance, and once in a while, she gives her sister a bit more money so that she can buy things for herself outside of necessities.
As of late, her sister has been asking her for more money all the time, claiming that the allowance their parents give her isn’t enough, and they refuse to increase it.
Eventually, she and her brother stopped giving their sister money because they found out that she gave most of her allowance money to her new boyfriend.
On the day of their sibling trip, one hour before they were planning to leave, her sister told her that her new boyfriend was coming with them, and she didn’t ask if this was okay with her or their brother.
Rather than rejecting this, she decided to give her sister two options: If her sister’s boyfriend came on the trip, he was responsible for paying for his portion of the gas and all of his meals.
Her sister was quiet for a few seconds before responding, telling her that this wasn’t fair.
“She said I have all these extra expenses to bring extra people along. I replied, ‘Yeah, but we all agreed in the first place it would only be the three of us.’ She started pouting and said she wouldn’t be coming along and was being petty. I said, ‘Okay,’ and drove off with just my brother,” she shared.
Her brother thought she did the right thing because he also despised their sister’s new boyfriend.
She didn’t want to pay for her sister’s boyfriend’s expenses during the trip, especially since it wasn’t agreed upon in advance, and her sister didn’t even ask if she was comfortable with him coming.
In retrospect, she wonders if she was being a bit hypocritical because not long before the trip, she asked her boyfriend, as well as her brother’s girlfriend if they wanted to come on the trip.
They agreed, and they drove separately, meeting up with her and her brother for lunch.
She insisted that she could pay for them, but they refused her offer and wanted to pay for themselves.
Finally, they reached a compromise of paying 25% of their share of expenses, with her paying the rest.
Despite this, she doesn’t regret leaving for the trip without her sister.
She can’t stand that her sister’s boyfriend takes advantage of her sister by taking her allowance money and that he has never had a job.
From her and her brother’s perspective, their sister is rebelling against them as if she’s a troublemaker in high school all over again, and this behavior began when her sister started dating her much younger boyfriend.
Do you think she did the right thing by leaving her sister out of their sibling trip?
