I’m 23 years old and have been in an honest, mature relationship
with my amazing and sweet boyfriend for six months....
We are very
compatible and it’s likely that we’ll end up moving in together in the
next year or so. A few weeks ago, I got to meet his sister, who is two
years younger than us and the person he’s closest to in his family. Man,
was I in for a surprise!
Not only did they hug each other tightly for
almost a full five minutes when we met her at the airport, but he
constantly had his arm around her or was holding her hand (and sometimes
mine, simultaneously). The “pet name” that he calls me turned out to be
a variation on his nickname for her. He even called her by my nickname
and me by hers several times.
He honestly looked distraught when he had
to choose which one of us to sit next to. It was strange because many of
his flirtatious moves, like play wrestling, tickling, picking me up,
etc. were also things that he did with her! It felt….bizarre.
On top of this, his sister exhibits signs of anorexia that my
boyfriend refuses to notice. A meal for her consists of an orange or a
handful of crackers, and she’s super skinny, weighing 105 lbs at 5’7″.
In the past, my boyfriend has mentioned that while he knows that it’s
unhealthy for women to be so thin, he’s really attracted to the wispy,
thin women. He may have been trying to compliment me, since I myself am
fairly thin, but I can’t help but feel like his sister has something to
do with it.
Do you think I am just being paranoid and jealous about the way
he treats and looks at his sister, or do you think there’s something
strange like I do? I’m worried that if we see much of his sister, I may
be at risk of developing an eating disorder myself (I’ve had some
borderline problems in the past). What should I do?
