Sister obsessed with MY ex

9 replies

My ds is obsessed with my ex. I think she has feelings for him. She keeps bringing him up in conversation and seems to know too much about his life. She stalks him on Facebook and messages him. Always trying to help him out and go out of her way for him. They are friends but by no means good friends. She always maintains that she knows him really well. It's like we are in competition.

I don't talk about him and if I go against what she says she will defend him and take his side. He can do no wrong.

He got back in touch with me recently and I would tell her like you do with your ds. She put in my head that he was using me and was contacting me because he was bored and I should block him. I stupidly listened and pushed him away and now we don't talk at all. She has since become very pally with him.

She likes to tell me that he has a new gf and will find pics of her to show me. This really hurts my feelings. I've told her I'm not interested in all the info but she carries on regardless. She can be quite mean so sometimes I have to be careful what I say.

I still have feelings for him but have put a lid on it and am moving on with my life. She knows I have feelings for him but it's like she enjoying hurting me.

AIBU to message my ex and tell him that she sees him as more than just a friend and hope he distances himself from her?

I wouldn't, why point out the elephant in the room.

What if he then says, I'm glad you've mentioned it because I really like her?

Some sisters are real bitches. Makes you wonder if they do it on purpose.

SandyY2K · 22/12/2019 18:32

Gosh...some sister she is. Did you end the relationship?

Did she know him before you were with him?

I would ask her why she continues to tell you about him, despite you asking her not to numerous times.

Ask her if there is something about those words she doesn't understand.

Don't message your ex about her. He'll just think you're both crazy. If you want to contact him if your own freewill, it's up to you...but don't tell your sister about it.

I'd also go low contact if my sister pulled this kind of crap.

What a bitch

onemoresipofthehenny · 22/12/2019 18:40

Yeah your sister sounds like a dick.
I'd keep her at arms length.

HigherFurtherFasterBaby · 22/12/2019 18:41

Arms length.

I’m NC with mine. She’s friends with my ex. My abusive ex. Who abandoned our child and pays fuck all because CMS are useless.

Sandyy2k I met him through my ds so I can't understand why she is doing this. I ended things.
I'm a bit scared of ds tbh. I'm a strong person but she scared me. She can be really mean and controlling

unblock him... and wait.. time will tell one way or the other is he's still interested in you...

Oh.. and tell her ZILCH Flowers

She introduced the two of you? She's probably been jealous all along that he didn't pick her
