Her Sister Had An Affair With Her Fiancé, So Now That She Needs Help And Is About To Be Homeless, She’s Not Willing To Do Anything
Have you ever been on the outs with a relative, and then people suddenly started encouraging you to repair the relationship because your relative is going through a hard time?
One woman is being encouraged to help her sister, who she’s been on bad terms with for a decade because she’s fallen on hard times.
She’s 31 and has a younger sister. She and her sister have been on bad terms for over 10 years, as her sister had an affair with her ex-fiancé. She started dating her fiancé when they were 15 and were together for five years.
Towards the end of her relationship, her sister started hooking up with her boyfriend. A few months into the affair, her boyfriend proposed to her while he was still messing around with her sister. However, they had to end their engagement when her sister announced she was pregnant with his baby.
She found out that her sister encouraged her ex to propose to her so she wouldn’t suspect anything, and he could stick around so they could keep hooking up behind her back.
“She tried to salvage a relationship with me and asked me to understand and not be mad at her,” she recalled.
“I told her she was disgusting and I would never forgive her. I also told our parents what she had done. I saw my sister once after her first child was born, a year or so after I had learned about the affair. She told me she missed me and wanted her daughter to know her aunt. She tried her best to get me to agree to [have] a relationship with her daughter, but I told her it was not possible and I was still not going to forgive her. I told her not to talk to me again.”
As time passed, her family also grew more distant from her sister because of all the drama of the affair. Her sister stayed with her ex long enough to have another child, which caused a lot more drama among the family.
It wasn’t until her sister broke up with her ex that their parents re-entered her life, as they wanted to be there for their grandkids. Still, her family was never the same because of the affair.

Today, she is happily married, has a child, and has lived blissfully without any contact with her sister.
But then, a few weeks ago, her parents contacted her and informed her that her sister had been living 20 minutes away from her all along and needed help.
Her sister had lost her job and was 60 days away from being kicked out of the home she lives in with her children.
“My parents decided I should be the one to help [and] they told me if I could help her by putting her in touch with people for a job and maybe another rental,” she said.
“They wanted me to step in before the 60 days [were] up. I refused to help and told them I would never do a single thing for her again. They pleaded with me to reconsider and told me to think of the kids. They asked me if I really hated my sister that much, and I said yes.”
She reminded her parents it was bad enough that her sister was having an affair with her ex, but that she made it so much worse by encouraging his phony proposal and having two children with him.
She told her parents that her sister’s children were not enough of an incentive for her to help out, and her parents told her she should be a better person.
Should she help her sister, or is their relationship too far gone?
