My younger sister is 23, she began a relationship with a man she met at work who was engaged and had a son.

He promised he would end things with fiancé, always telling my sister how much he hated his fiancé and he’s only with her for the child.

Anyway, turned out he was telling them both the same thing and never actually broke up with fiancé. So he was two timing them.

Sister found out and left heartbroken.

Anyway the relationship continued between sister and this bloke, as he finally broke things off with fiancé.

Now then, the problem I need advice with is the fact that on a number of occasions my sister has told me things that have happened that he always has an excuse for (womens sunglasses left in his room, kicked out a pub because he was inappropriate towards a barmaid etc)

It’s almost likes she’s blind because after she tells me these little stories she always says but it’s ok because he said X and Y & I believe him, I said to her that these things may seem insignificant on their own but if you add them all together….I struggle to speak with her about him as it’s very frustrating. She simply does not see.

They had a 3 month break and didn’t speak, he did some really horrible things to her.

She got upset with me, tried speaking to him about it, and now he has flipped out and blocked her on social media.

I feel I’m partly to blame, I planted that seed and now look what’s happened

You did the right thing to point it out to her. Yes, you’ve planted the seed and one day she will be strong enough to finally end it.
But you have showed her that he is bad, often in a relationship they can’t see it.
