Elder sister was in loveless marriage for years, she left when kids were in their late teens. We were all delighted when she met a childhood boyfriend and started a relationship with him.
Within a few months she left our area (he thought it was too common, despite him having grown up there) and spent a lot of money on a lovely rental property. He moved in immediately but contributed very little financially in her words.
He made it clear that he didn't really like our family (too large, too chatty) so mine and my other siblings visits started to Petter out as he made things very awkward, by not speaking, yawning loudly etc. He then told my sister he didn't like crowds so wouldn't be attending any more events with our family. However, he is more than happy to go to parties, weddings, etc with his own family, ex wives, kids. Which my sister gladly attends otherwise she'd have no social life.
I have lost not only a sister but a friend. Her own children, who are easy going and hard working have all left home because of his constant criticism & my sister has basically told them to like it or lump it.
I caught him hand in hand with his ex last year, but didn't tell ds because she is aware he is not honest with her but refuses to leave him.
I know there is no solution but just feel so sad about it that I needed to vent. Sorry about the length of this post.
