She Wants To Break Up With Her Fiancé And Let Him Be With Her Sister Since Everyone In Her Family Seems To Think They’d Be Happier Together
This 25-year-old woman and her fiancé, who’s 28, have been engaged for one month, and she believes that he is an amazing guy.
“He’s kind, thoughtful, successful, and way out of my league. I love him so much,” she said.
But, she’s recently begun thinking that she may not be the right person for him, and her fiancé might be better suited for her sister Tara, who’s 27.
According to her, Tara is everything that she is not. Her sister is smart, outgoing, and so beautiful that she literally turns heads anywhere she goes. Tara has always been her parents’ favorite child, too, making their family proud.
So, once her fiancé entered the picture, her family started dropping tons of hints that he would be happier with Tara instead of her.
For instance, when she first introduced them all, her family wouldn’t stop talking about how perfect her fiancé was. She figured this was normal at first, and her family was simply excited. Now, though, it’s striking her as strange.
“My mom constantly makes comments like, ‘Tara and your fiancé just have so much in common,’ and my dad has said things like, ‘It’s a shame Tara didn’t meet someone like him sooner. They’d make a power couple,'” she revealed.
And whenever her fiancé and Tara would talk at family gatherings, all of her relatives would point out their chemistry. Her aunt even stated that Tara would be lucky to find a guy like her fiancé while staring straight at the pair!
“I laughed it off because what else could I do? I know Tara is incredible, and honestly, I’m just not sure I’m the right person for him,” she admitted.

Lately, her fiancé and Tara have been spending even more time together as well – which her family doesn’t hesitate to encourage.
Her sister keeps asking for her fiancé’s help with things around the house, like moving furniture or fixing a computer. She’s never invited over for these favors, either, since her sister only wants her fiancé to help.
On top of that, her fiancé and Tara have been going to the gym together and supposedly attending the same work events since they have similar jobs.
Her mom has expressed how “nice” it was that the two of them were bonding; meanwhile, her dad actually “jokingly” said, “Maybe you’re just holding him back, sweetheart. Tara’s more on his level.”
She genuinely thinks her family only means well, and she knows that her fiancé loves her.
Nonetheless, everyone’s remarks have made her second-guess her relationship, and she’s not sure if her fiancé really would be happier with her sister.
“They’re both so similar, and I feel like I’m just not good enough. I’m not as confident or outgoing as her, and I think my family sees that too,” she explained.
During her most recent family dinner, she finally hit her breaking point as well. While they were eating, Tara began talking about how her fiancé was the “perfect guy” and any woman would be lucky to be with him.
At that point, her dad laughed and replied, “Well, there’s still time for that.” The worst part? Everyone, including her fiancé, chuckled at the joke.
This made her feel sick to her stomach, and she’s currently considering “stepping aside” to let them be together.
“I don’t want to hold him back from being with someone who’s actually his equal. My family already seems to think they’re better suited for each other, and honestly, I feel like I’m the odd one out in my own relationship,” she vented.
“I love him so much, but what if he’s just settling for me?”
That’s why she wants to break up with her fiancé and let him be with her sister, but she doesn’t know if that would be “cruel” to him or not.
Do you agree that her family “means well,” or are they totally out of line? Should she talk to her fiancé first before making any decisions?
