It was then 2018, and I had just left for a work trip overseas. I had been dating my now ex-boyfriend for about two years and things were going great.
We had plans to move in together and I was so excited to start our future together. Little did I know, my world was about to be turned upside down.
My sister decided to hit on him, and he fell for her
I was gone for three weeks and during that time, my sister, whom I had been close with since childhood, decided to make a move on my then-boyfriend.
I was devastated when I got back and found out he had broken up with me to be with her. It felt like a betrayal of the deepest kind and I was heartbroken.
I immediately cut off all communication with my sister and my ex-boyfriend. I was so angry and hurt that I couldn’t even bring myself to talk to them.
I was also worried about how this would affect our family dynamic and our relationship as siblings.
Suddenly announced that they were going to get married
To make matters worse, a few months later, my sister and my ex-boyfriend announced that they were getting married. I was shocked and couldn’t believe it.
I felt betrayed and hurt all over again and wanted to keep my distance from them.
However, I eventually realized that I needed to forgive them and move on. It was tough but I knew it was for the best if I wanted to move on with my life.
So, I slowly started to rebuild my relationship with my sister and my brother-in-law (my ex-boyfriend).
It wasn’t easy, but over time, I was able to forgive them and accept their relationship. I had to learn to trust them again and be able to talk to them without feeling hurt. It was a long process but eventually, I was able to get past it.
Today, my sister and my brother-in-law are happily married and I’m glad that I was able to forgive them. I’m thankful that I was able to move past this experience and still have a healthy relationship with them.
It’s not always easy, but I’m glad that I was able to do it.
