Sister fall out!

[beckett12]

My sister seen a cream couch online a year ago that she liked for when she got her own house I agreed it's lovely that was the end of it fast forward a year I need a new couch and seen that one she mentioned but in grey so said ooo I'm going to get this ... all hell has broke lose she's been screaming crying down the phone how I'm a bitch for copying and now she's blocked me on WhatsApp we live 120 miles apart an it's a different colour! She hasn't bought it yet because she's not in her own house but aibu? I don't think I am as it's a different colour they will look completely different. I really like it as it fits my decor and it's within my price range, she's called me everything and said she's finished with me after this.
Opinions please...

She’s nuts. Enjoy your sofa.

She needs to calm down! My sister and I often buy the same stuff as we have really similar taste.

Your sister is a drama queen. Buy the sofa.

She might be jealous that she isn't in a position to buy the sofa she wanted

She’s being nuts. But guess it has triggered something about not having her own home, or something.

Don’t give in, do get it, let her be for a week and drop her a calm note, saying hope she’s feeling less stressed, love to catch up when she feels up for it. You can be compassionate but it’s not your problem.

She is nuts. One of my sisters has adopted identical scheme to me. The other again same colour scheme and furnishing. I've taken it as a compliment! Most important thing is that you like it. You're the one that has to live with it!

Absolutely batshit. Ignore the madness, hopefully she’ll cop onto herself shortly.

She’s an absurd drama queen. Ignore her and buy the sofa.

Nut job

If my sister bought an outfit I had pointed out to her for an event we were both attending, I might be annoyed. But I really couldn’t care less if she has the same sofa as me. Agree she is crazy.

Christ that's a bit OTT. I have a really good friend that lived 200 miles away, I stayed with her once and slept on her lovely new sofa bed, many months later DH and I went sofa shopping and a few months after I visited good friend again and burst out laughing as soon as I walked in saying I must've really liked her new sofa as we'd inadvertently bought the same one, she also laughed which I think is a far more normal reaction than that of your sister.

Tell her you found a different one which you preferred .... simples.

She's being ridiculous. Ignore her when she decides to unblock you, unless she gives a heartfelt apology.

I don't understand at all (and I've read it twice), what's seen in regards to a sofa?

Seen? Do you mean saw?

She's crazy. My sister and I have the same wallpaper in our lounges, just very slightly different colours. In fact I asked her what paint colour she had as it would match mine too! We quite often get the same or similar items. We have the same brilliant taste 😁

Your sister sounds bonkers!
Enjoy your sofa.

Your sister has a screw loose ... ignore the drama queen.

She’s mad, just get it

I have the sone stuff that’s the same as my sisters, in fact she bought one thing for me as a present

It doesn’t matter

Agreed, buy your Sofa 🌺

and send her photos once it's delivered 🤣

Your sister is nuts...when I was younger my dsis and I had the same car, she totally copied me, but who cares?! We managed to live in harmony with our twin cars parked on the same drive every day, a couch in a house 120 miles away from a couch that doesn't even exist yet is a complete none issue!

If this was me, I'd not only buy the sofa, I'd take extensive photographs of it and send it to her. And by extensive I mean: pretending to throw a sofa shower a-la new baby style, toasting it with champagne, various poses like Joan Collins etc. Then 2 days later say you're bored of it and going to replace it with 'x item also in her house'.

I'm very childish though .

Oh dear. You’ve done absolutely nothing wrong here and you should neither apologise nor feel even remotely bad. I suspect her extreme reaction has stemmed from jealousy, but that doesn’t make it okay. Don’t give it any headspace at all and hopefully she’ll stop acting like a total wally soon.

FFS - it is not like you have a duplicate of every outfit she owns and match what she is wearing. Who would care about having the same sofa. This is just weird. If you had a good relationship before, maybe there is something going on with her so she over reacted. If not, this is just a smokescreen. So sorry for you.

Weird overreaction. Is she usually like that?
