A poster on Reddit has gone viral after seeking advice on whether she should break up with her fiance to let him be with her sister, and fury erupted when the truth about their relationship emerged.
In the post, the 25-year-old woman wrote that she had been engaged to her fiance for about a month when she began noticing unsettling dynamics between him and her older sister, Tara.
Described as outgoing and beautiful, she had seemingly bonded with OP’s fiance in a way that made her feel like the odd one out in her own relationship.
The OP revealed how her family frequently made comments suggesting her fiance and sister were better suited for each other…
…She wrote: “I confronted my now ex-fiance. He was sleeping with my sister, and my entire family knew.” She closed the post by thanking commenters for their support and writing that she was “done with this site for now.”
Family and couple’s therapist Debra Castaldo spoke to Newsweek about the situation, describing the family’s behavior as emotionally abusive.
