Sister relationship

4 replies

What would you do if your sister acted nice to your face but you felt no substance behind it? Never asks you to any get togethers or anything, never hosts Christmas but likes to come to ours each year even though never asks us back...
Criticises everything I do (behind my back) but yet copies everything I do, bought house in same area, got an identical dog, got married in sane venue, bought same car etc etc
Would you stop having her at Christmas Dinner and cut back completely or just be kind of fake back, I'm really struggling with this....I am really family minded and she's my only sister but I can't really force a relationship if she doesn't want one! What do you think?

Yes, this ☝🏻

Just a hunch but Sounds like she really looks up to you. Feels inadequate compared to you!

I would also wonder what the sister's view of the situation is.
"My sister and I, well, we are sisters so naturally we like the same things, we have the same taste. We have ended up choosing the same area to live in, she got married in the exact place I dreamed of for my wedding so I chose the same venue afterwards, she even got the same breed of dog I love before I did. She's so much better at hosting family gatherings so I end up at her house every year."
Possible?
