We were at a family party recently, and my cousin's friend was there. He was lovely and we got on really well, chatted and had quite a lot in common. It was lovely to have a man to talk to, it doesn't often happen as a single Mum.
I had to go and sort my daughter out, and by the time I returned to the party my little sister had well and truly got her claws in, and that was it for the weekend. She barely left him alone. It was so obvious to everyone. She was flirting outrageously.
I'm pissed off for two reasons. The first is that she is in a relationship with someone, and they are talking about buying a house, so it's pretty serious. I feel like she put us in a really awkward position as a family. I have no idea if she told this guy she was in a relationship. As a family we disapprove massively, but she had a huge drunk meltdown at the end of the weekend, and as a result nobody said anything to her about her behaviour with this guy evacsue we were all trying to pick up the pieces of what happened at the end of the weekend.
And secondly I'm so annoyed at her for monopolising this guy. I've been single for nearly two years, and as a single Mum, get very little opportunity to speak to anyone let alone attractive, interesting single men. We seemed to get on well.
When I was with my ex, she was awful if ever we went out and I got chatting to any guys. She'd pull me away and be quite accusatory, and call me naive, saying I didn't know what blokes were like, and that they all wanted the same thing. I'm a naturally chatty person and will happily strike up a conversation with anyone. But just a chat, cheating was never on my mind.
She knows how hard the past few years have been for me, and I honestly just thought the whole things was utterly outrageous and selfish. She obviously fancied this guy, that was clear from a million miles, but am I being unreasonable to be totally pissed off at her behaviour?
