She Advised Her Sister’s Boyfriend Not To Propose To Her, So Then He Dumped Her Sister
This 28-year-old woman is engaged to her 34-year-old fiancé, and she has a twin sister who’s dating her fiancé’s 29-year-old brother.
This September, she’s getting married, and her sister has a lot to say about the new last name she’s going to have.
Her sister keeps saying her last name’s going to be atrocious, and her sister has mentioned she could never marry her own boyfriend because the last name is that bad.
She’s pointed out to her sister that she doesn’t have to have a different last name, as tons of women choose to keep their maiden names for different reasons.
Her sister vehemently disagreed with her and said if she’s going to get married, it better be traditional, and she will need to take the last name of her future husband.
Over the weekend, she was shopping for outfits to wear on her honeymoon, and her sister came with her.
During their shopping excursion, she asked her sister what she would do if her boyfriend popped the question.
Her sister has been dating her boyfriend for three years, and her fiancé let it slip that he’s currently trying to pick out an engagement ring.
She didn’t share that information with her sister and simply asked the question casually, as her sister was talking about how she couldn’t wait to shop for wedding dresses while discussing other wedding-related topics.

Her sister replied that if her boyfriend proposed, she would say yes under one condition: he has to change his last name.
“I told her that was really selfish of her to give an ultimatum like that to someone who loved her and wanted to marry her,” she explained.
“She rolled her eyes at me. So I said, “Seriously, would you really turn him down because of his last name?” And she firmly said, “Yes, I just can’t have that name.” So I asked why she was even with him, knowing it won’t lead to marriage, and she replied, “I don’t know.” I just dropped it.”
Yesterday, her sister’s boyfriend came to her house to spend time with her fiancé. While he was over, he showed her pictures of some engagement rings he was looking at.
He asked her which ring she thought her sister would love best, and that’s when she told her sister’s boyfriend the truth.
She said to her sister’s boyfriend her sister has no intention of marrying him, and that if he proposes, she’s going to turn him down over his last name. Her sister’s boyfriend wanted her to clarify if her sister said these exact words to her, and she acknowledged that was correct.
“He broke up with her today,” she added. “He didn’t tell her why, but my sister knows it was because of me.”
“Now my aunt and uncle (who raised us) are upset with me and said that it’s going to be really uncomfortable at my wedding for everyone. But wouldn’t it still have been if he asked and she said no? Should I have just let it play out?”
“Update: My sister is only upset with me because she didn’t get to turn him down when he proposed, and I ruined that for her. She’s not upset that the relationship ended. She’s upset that she wasn’t the one who got to end it.”
Do you think she was in the wrong, or did she do the right thing by giving her sister’s boyfriend a heads-up?
