I will set aside the possibility that you are the one with a problem and resent the fact that your fiance and his sister seem to have an unusually close bond. Let’s just say a moral of these tales is that things rarely turn out well for sibling couples. For a modern twist, the wonderful Middlesex, by Jeffrey Eugenides, tells what comes of the marriage of an immigrant brother and sister who settle in Detroit.
Greeks Zeus and Hera and Egyptians Osiris and Isis were siblings and spouses, and Norse brother and sister Sigmund and Signy were lovers. Am I being unreasonable? Is it normal for siblings to be that close?ĭear Creeped, It’s certainly normal for siblings in mythology. My boyfriend knows very private things about her, the kind I would never discuss with my brother. She is married to her one and only boyfriend. I do distance myself from her because I don’t like being with the two of them due to their behavior. If I were to bring this up, he’d be upset and think I don’t like his sister, which he’s accused me of in the past. It creeps me out how they interact, but my boyfriend is also very sensitive. At the last family dinner, he was playing footsies with her under the table. Several times, he’s called me by her name. The problem is my boyfriend’s relationship with his only sibling, a sister.
We both get along with each other’s families.
