Is it okay for a half sister to try to share so much with her brother, who is also your husband?

I've been married for 4 years. When I first met my husband he never mentioned his sister since he never seen her and they both moved away from each other at a very young age. However During our 2 year engagement they both moved in to live with their grandmother. Out of nowhere a bond instantly grew. I always found some of the behavior very disturbing. Such as her being in her underwear around him, calling him at all times of the day, or sitting on his lap. Since she's not marry or has a boyfriend. This behavior has put such a stain in our marriage. We have gotten into arguments about it many times but somehow he always takes her side. He does not put a stop to it. They share things me and him don't. For Thanksgiving we were asked by my husbands parents to take a picture the 3 of us. My husband was sitting down and before I could get there she sat on top of my husband and put her arms around him. So here I was the wife behind the lovely couple. Am I wrong?

I think that's a situation your husband really needs to be handling, i don't think wrong at all for feeling this way i had a family member that acted the same way towards another family member and we had to just shut her out of our lives, there was no othe way. Try sitting your husband down and letting him know that this is destroying your marriage and if he dosn't handle it you willk then take it from there. If you wanna chat some more just let me know i'll be glad to help...

If your husbands thinks this is acceptable behavior from his sister, he's got a serious problem. Her problem is obvious, she wants to sleep with her brother.

She wants more than that sibling realtionship. And it sound like your husband does to. You have to put a stop to this NOW. How can you sit back and watch this going on. You should have stopped it when it started. If your husabnd is not willing to stop it then you need to move on. I mean I am sure you don't want your child growing up thinking this behavior is okay. Right? You really don't have to ask this question. And as for her, the next time I seen her I would beat the crap out of her. Who does she think she is anyway?

If you go to marital counseling with your husband, I think the counselor will point this out to him - as an objective listener - and he will have to face the facts. It is inappropriate. It always creeps me out when a girl sits on the lap of a guy with her arms around his neck and it is supposed to pass a playful behavior - and the guy is not her boyfriend. Perhaps your s-i-l was molested as a child. Not that it gives her permission to flirt physically with her brother, not to stalk you or try to insinuate herself into photos as part of a married couple when she is only a relative. It is accepted by your husband because on some level, he is flattered. Almost like cheating or flirting wthout cheating, all pristine and blameless because it's 'only my sister' and so what's the problem? He may not be aware of that. A marriage counselor would straighten this out. Definitely worth trying therapy together.

Wow. I'm sorry that you have obviously landed your self in the middle of a dramatic crisis, all of your husband's making. You need to get out of that right away. Your instincts are probably right and they both need psychiatric help. Especially her. Eliminate the possibility of your son being traumatized by his father and aunt's behavior now before it is too late.

Someone is after your hubby! and your hubby is definitely not opposing it and maybe even enjoying it. You need to have a serious talk with your husband and set bound rules. Be firm about it and stick to it. You have been letting him slide with too much of his Sh*t! That is totally disrespectful for you as his wife.

Sounds like u married into a weird family. When a half sister does that and the Half brother lets hers do those things time for u to go... leave that along!!!!


Memphis Gal
NO, none of this is OK!! and don't stand for it one single day more!! You can sit back and let it continue to happen, or cause such a stink he has to choose between his WIFE and his sister.

Me for one, if his sister got on his lap for a picture, i would have called her out in front of everyone!! i would say something really loud .

My Husbands family/sisters/brothers tried pulling their territory with him in the begining, and i can say i put a stop to that real quick, ar eyou married ot them? or me?

but a sister walking around in her underwear?? sitting on her brothers lap?? stalking his wife and harassing her like she's a jealous girlfriend?? umm, tha'ts just sick! i'd tell him to go get some counseling with you or you are leaving him!! someone with authority will have to tell him how sick that is!

It really sounds like she needs psychiatric help. And why does your husband allow this behavior???? Brothers and sisters can be close, but I think that is a lot too close. That's gross. Put a stop to it now! Creepy......
Good luck!

Yes, you should tell your husband to keep his current family separate from his personal feeling for her. And to please stand on his own two feet so you wouldn't have to be mad or even pissed off when dealing with his side of the family. She sounds a little past weird from all Things things your writing happened. Good luck with this situation. And pray alot for help and gujidens from god..


heavenlyours2000
Hmmmmm seriously this is serious than I thought. I am close to my brother, but not that way. Gross!! You need to tell him to put a stop to this, he shouldn't be allowing this type of behaviour around you with her sister, and even if you aren't there. Tell him it's bothering you and maybe even talk to his grandmother about it. They seems to be wanting this type of behaviour together. I would not want nothing to do with that family, I am sorry, but I am sure it would be hard to let go of him especially if you loved him. Good luck! Please talk to family members.


Maricel S
Wow that's very disturbing indeed, not to mention sick! Are you sure they are half siblings? I'm very close to my 2 older brothers too but nothing like you just described. The only person who can put a stop to this is your husband but the problem here is he doesn't see anything wrong with the situation. If he refuses to acknowledge that then you need to make up your mind if this is the kind of marriage you want to put up with.

Your husband needs to set some serious boundaries with his sister. It is very inappropriate for a full grown woman to be in her underwear in front of her brother. That is extremely disturbing. It sounds to me like she is jealous of your relationship with him and she is trying to push into your relationship and push you out. Your husband should really be the one to talk to her and discuss these issues or she will not take them seriously. He should also discuss the issue of your children's pictures being on the Internet. That is very unsafe and putting your children's safety in danger. I would refuse to let her take any more pictures of the kids if she refuses to take the pics of the internet. I think you are 100% correct in your feelings!

Sorry to hear about this, honey. I would be VERY upset!

No, it's NOT OK for a grown woman to be acting like this around her married, half-brother...! She sounds like she needs help ASAP!!!

But frankly, what worries me most is your own husband's attitude...If he takes her side and not yours, his wife's, your marriage is in rocky waters...!

I'd say talk to a counselor or pastor/priest about this and get their input. (Chances are they will say you are right and they are wrong, and you shouldn't be made to feel guilty about this.)

Then, take a long look at your marriage.
If you love your husband ask him to join you in counseling or therapy.
If he refuses, then, my dear, you'll have to make a difficult decision....Accept this weird, unnatural and unhealthy situation....or walk away.

Good luck. You'll be in my prayers.

She might be jealous of you. You take attention away from her. I am super tight w/ my bro, but I know I'll be there when the girl is gone so I try to be understanding to situations. Now I don't parade in panties in front of him or cuddle up. Ew, he's my bro.

Also, maybe they don't really feel like a brother and sister since they moved apart at a young age. So the family feel was never instilled in them. I don't think they really know how to act like a brother and sister..

As far as the stalking thing. There is something SERIOUSLY wrong with this situation. This is completely unnatural. Take her to court for defamation of character.


Mary O
Get rid of him he is probably sleeping with her and maybe they were married before you don't know for sure that it is his sister, its called insest divorce him


Husker41
Well, I see why you're disturbed. I think your best approach is to work hard at finding her a bf of her own - then all this wll stop.

Thats just weird! I think you should move away from her and tell her to back the F*** off

No, she is definitely crossing some boundaries and you need to talk to your husband and make him see that you are feeling left out. If he does not see it, then see if he will agree to counseling with you. I would also set the sister straight and remind her that you are married to him and that you do not appreciate her intrusive behavior. If she gets mad, so what, you are already mad and no one seems to care.

Sounds pretty sick to me


Marcio
Yea, you should talk to him about that. From what you said, I'm guessing that they both are adults and they should respect their space. I have a sister and she doesn't sit on my lap or goes half naked around me. It's not a normal thing to do... maybe if they were still kids.
Try to talk to him about that situation.

Sounds to me like she wants him to be her bed-buddy..

You have got some serious problems unless you
want to join them in a 3some..
