Respect goes both ways, sis

"In my opinion, it's none of her business how I want to conduct my life."

"She also had us contribute to a money fund for their future house two years ago."

Frankly, we think she should have dumped him the first time he referred to the other woman as his "work wife."

"Am I obligated to keep making an effort for someone who just can't or won't reciprocate?"

Parents absolutely love to get involved in their kids’ lives, with the firm belief that they are entitled to that involvement because of who they are. However, while it is reasonable to want to be a part of your children’s lives, there has to be a line drawn to keep the peace between everyone in the family. The one who usually draws the line in the family is the outsider, or in other words, the partner. My husband, for example, is the person who tells my parents when they are stepping over the…

Some people think that just because they are forgetful, everyone else should forgive them for acting irresponsibly.

It seems like the daughter in this Reddit story thought that her ignoring, or ‘forgetting’, her mother's wishes would simply be forgotten, but she could not have been more wrong…

Couples' feelings about signing a prenup before getting married are mixed and varied. On one hand, we all know the divorce rate, and how hard it has become to maintain a healthy and happy marriage, which means that people want to be prepared in case that happens to them.

If the bride and groom don't care, why should she?

"[She] completely took herself out of my life."

I love my sister and I love our relationship, which is why I am smarter than to allow money to get mixed up in that relationship and ruin it. If you also cherish your relationship with your sibling, I advise you to follow suit. Nothing good comes out of mixing family and money, even if your initial plan was to do something kind for each other.
