Her Sister Thinks Her Fiancé Is The “Perfect Guy” And Seems To Want Him, Even Though She’s Married
Have you ever had a friend or relative romantically set you up with their close friend and then become weirdly possessive over them after the fact?
One woman is unsure what to do after her sister, who set her up with one of her former best friends, has been making weird comments about wanting to be with him.
She’s 22, and her sister, Delilah, is 25. During high school, Delilah was best friends with a guy named Alan.
Alan had a big crush on Delilah during their high school years, but she wasn’t interested and dated other guys instead. While they always remained ‘just friends,’ the two had a few steamy moments, like when they kissed at a party during truth or dare. However, they never ended up together, and Alan got over his crush.
Years after Delilah and Alan graduated from high school, she met Alan for the first time. Over two years, she met him several times, and they began forming a connection. However, Alan was with someone at the time, so nothing happened.
Then, Delilah started stepping in and set the two of them up while Alan was breaking up with his girlfriend. By the time he was out of that relationship, she had begun dating him, under the impression that Delilah was totally cool with it.
Eventually, Delilah started dating the man who’s currently her husband, Chuck. Not long after setting up her and Alan, she started crossing some boundaries. Once, she told Alan that she actually did have a crush on him in high school but didn’t want to follow through with it.
Delilah also began complaining to Alan, upset that they never got to hang out alone anymore.
“Then she described her ‘perfect’ guy to me and Alan, and it was a spot-on description of him,” she said.

“Her husband, Chuck, is the exact opposite. Alan is scrawny and more submissive [while] Chuck is more of a macho guy and way bigger. In [her] description, she even said, ‘I like guys I can throw around, [who are] scrawny, like Alan.'”
A few years later, she and Alan became engaged, and Delilah and Chuck started having kids together.
Unfortunately, as Delilah suffered from postpartum depression, she became unfaithful and began seeing people behind Chuck’s back.
Around this time, she and Delilah felt closer than ever until Delilah sat her down and told her how “close” she and Alan used to be.
Delilah went into gory detail about all these stories with her and Alan, trying to make her think they were practically dating back then, even though Alan insists they weren’t.
The way Delilah described her former relationship with Alan started to worry her.
“Now, she’s had her second kid, and I’m worried she might target Alan this time if she starts to be unfaithful again [because of] her postpartum depression,” she explained.
“She’s also still being weird. I told her I was coming to visit the new baby tomorrow, and she asked if Alan was coming. When I said no, she sounded very, very sad.”
How should she approach this situation with her sister? Should she tell her to stay away from Alan or keep things more subtle?
