Do you love your sister more than your DH

I was just reading an article in the MoS about identical twins. It made me think about my sister (not a twin) and how much I love her. I think it's more than my DH but obv not more than DCs.

Anyone else love their sister more than their partner?

In the burning building scenario it would be..

  1. kids
  2. mum
  3. brothers
  4. horse
  5. MIL. (Yes really. She's lovely)

Not sure if I'd bother with DH.

Without a doubt. She's on the other side of the world just now and I really miss her Sad

No cos I don't have a sister, pretty sure though that if i did I'd still love DH more, mainly as this is a love through choice.

Love my brother, can't stand the fucker though so same as above... Hmm

readyforno2 · 29/04/2013 00:27

Believe it or not, she just phoned me...

If my sister slagged off my DH, I would be annoyed at her, but listen to what she was saying. But I would never live with my sister as she would do my head in.

If my DH slagged off my sister I would give him about five minutes to explain himself, then leave him.

(I have actually left him, tbh. Not over my sisters, for other stuff, but I am maybe biased...)

If ANYBODY slags off my children they don't get the five minutes.

I will only hug my children and DH (even though we've split up, I hugged him tonight) and sisters/parents in extreme circumstances.

Different types of love.

If i loved my DP as much as I love my DSis then we have a problem.
Vice versa.
Regardless of how much i slag off my sis, no one is allowed to say any bad things about her.

Its good to hear about healthy , close sibling relationships on here. Sadly, my dsis is rather mixed up and jealous, never made the effort for a close, adult relationship with me Hmm or to offer support through my hard times as i have through hers; on the rare times when we do meet, its ALL about her. Rather enabled by my indulgent yet critical parents and her weak dh, not a great combination for a healthy grown-up to have.

So no way, much as i doubt us at times, dh wins hands down!

No DP at the moment, but none of my previous partners would ever have come above my sister.

SmallerThanSmall · 28/12/2016 00:18

I definitely love my sister more then DH!

TwentyCups · 28/12/2016 00:21

It's a different love.
I love my best friend in probably equal amounts, but I don't want to spend my life with her like I do my DP.
There's enough love to go round :)

bert3400 · 28/12/2016 00:48

Surely it's a different type of love .... You can't compare ? or its weird ?

thatwouldbeanecumenicalmatter · 28/12/2016 00:51

God. No.

thatwouldbeanecumenicalmatter · 28/12/2016 00:52

Arrgh wtf 2013 zombie thread!

BumDNC · 28/12/2016 12:53

I love my sister more than I love my parents

Helloitsmex · 28/12/2016 12:55

Definitely.

dangerrabbit · 28/12/2016 17:51

I find it weird to compare as surely it's different?
