Background is, BIL has never seemed to be that interested in sex which has worried my sister but, to be fair, my sister had 'issues' with sex anyway.

BIL was a while ago found out for joining internet dating sites and my sister was understandably upset and wondering if her marriage had worked.

I spoke to her this morning and she'd had to get the morning after pill after 'condom issues'.

DH thinks it's funny I'm so happy about it but, to me, that means their relationship is improving! Plus, she has problems with the normal pill and didn't get any side effects so two positives.

AIBU to be happy for this reason?!

I don't understand your post.

Do you think everything's ok because they have actually had sex?

This tells you precisely nothing about the state of any relationship I'm afraid

Rindercella · 15/09/2009 10:17

Sorry, I agree this is a bit of an odd thing to be 'super excited' about. I fail to understand how your sister taking the morning after pill equals her marriage working?

worrierlady · 15/09/2009 10:17

No but I know they've not really ever had sex unless they are wanting to have children and really not had any since their DC2 was born 4 years ago.

I don't think it means their relationship is sorted but I do think it means they're trying to make it work which is a positive to me.

Didn't mean 'marriage had worked' meant could work. Should read before I press 'create'!!

leeeeetle weird but hey, whatever floats your boat baby.

IdrisTheDragon · 15/09/2009 10:20

I find your post a bit weird too. Tbh I would more feel that your sister had either had sex unwilingly, worried and took the morning after pill or BIL had sex unwillingly, worried and she took the morning after pill.

MANATEEequineOHARA · 15/09/2009 10:21

This is a bit strange.

worrierlady · 15/09/2009 10:23

No she took the morning after pill as they don't want more children which to me is reasonable.

Ok, so sensible...but 'super excited'. I am guessing you must be very close to your sister or something because I am afraid I don't understand!

Whaaaat are you on about worrierlady, can you explain in more detail. I would not be excited about my sister taking the morning after pill nothing to be happy about i am afraid.

pigletmania · 15/09/2009 11:01

if they dont want more children what about taking the pill, or injection or whatever contraception. The morning after pill is NOT CONTRACEPTION

OP - I understand where you are coming from, perhaps super excited is a bit of a stretch!
pigletmania - if you read op it would appear (to me) that there was a problem with the condom and that the MAP was taken as emergency - exactly what it is there for!

Morloth · 15/09/2009 11:33

Weird post. I am quite close to my sisters and we talk about all sorts of things, but I can't imagine being excited that one of them took the morning after pill.

Relieved perhaps on her behalf that she wouldn't be getting pregnant if she didn't want to be, sympathetic that it was necessary, but not excited, let alone super.

IME the MAP is a PITA!

Very odd.
