My 24-year-old stepsister continually flirts with my 28-year-old boyfriend of three years. When I have to work late, she invites him to dinner. I am beside myself. What shall I do?
“Evil Intentions? in NYC
Dear Evil Intentions? in NYC,
It doesn”t sound good. If it was a girlfriend inviting him to dinner, you would have either dumped him, stopped speaking to her, or thrown such a hissy fit to both parties, it would no longer be happening. Since it is your sister, you want to trust her…wrong! Your gut is right; you should trust no woman, your single mother included, with a man unless they are accompanied by another man who is very interested in them.
I am so sick of listening to all this BS about trusting everyone, and when you do and things go badly, then you have to endure another heap of BS about forgiveness: Oh, but you only have one sister, you have to forgive her, unity among women, blah blah blah.
If the dining duo does not sit well with you, then throw the temper tantrum. If they blow you off as being paranoid and insane, drop both of them!
