To think my sister is definitely trying to get the attention of my partner?

Hi,

I'm 25 and have been with someone for a year and a half. My sister is 19... started with her constantly saying how nice he was (fine - parents also said similar) but then it was "gosh, he smells so nice" - we laughed about it, didn't think much of it. Then complimenting his looks, constantly. Always telling me how lucky I was to find someone so nice and attractive. Never anything directed at him to start with, but after a few months subtly began to say to him these compliments. He used to just say to me "oh, your sister is sweet".

She then did stay round our flat after partner suggested it because she did us a favour and dropped us home after a night out. She wore the skimpiest pyjamas she owns  I don't know, I felt really uncomfortable.

I don't know, the list goes on. I really want to talk to her, but I know it won't achieve anything and she will deny it and say I'm the one being paranoid (am I???)

My boyfriend says he hasn't really noticed, just thought she was trying to be friendly.

Hmm... I feel bad for thinking it tbh, but am I right to think so?

Borderline, yes even go about naked if they want in complete safety.
However in the real world.....
Op has noticed several behaviours, and she knows her sister

Someone once told me the advice he gives his kids and I thought it was excellent -
"If it feels wrong, it probably is wrong."

Whilst he was referring to teenage bad behaviour, its apt in many walks of life and I've used it frequently.

This is one of those moments.
What your sister is doing is wrong. She's over stepping the mark and being a total arsehole in the process.

You aren't paranoid. Have a word with her and don't let her belittle you into thinking the issue is with you because it's not.

As a man.....

Without wishing to add to your suspicion - believe me when I say your partner has noticed. Any of us would, no matter how much we protest.

If he invites her to stay round again, or engineers a situation to do so, have a word with him too. One off because of a favour - fine - nothing in that.

In the absence of that, as far as your sister goes, your bf isnt responsible for her behaviour so just try and avoid the issue impinging on your relationship with him.

This kind of behaviour is really common in girls her age.i don’t shed havevtbd confidence to actually try anything. So unless your bf is interested in her I don’t see any reason to worry.

Girls?

She's a woman. And she sounds like she has more than enough confidence to do whatever the fudge she likes.

I'll put it this way OP. If your bf does or says anything untoward, your sister has done you a massive favour.

Because then you'll know he's a twat to be binned!

I'd be cutting contact with her tbh. She sounds like hard work.

Is the ds a cowbag??
