Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Getting married is an immensely exciting time in someone's life. From the proposal, to the planning, engagement era is memorable for everyone who goes through it. It's a time where you can meditate on your trajectory with your love, and plan the big day when you'll walk down the aisle, and say, 'I do.' Some people choose to have an engagement party to break the ice for both families, and usually the event revolves around the couple. 

This brings us to the Reddit thread. In this story, the original poster (OP) is a woman who's engaged to be married. She's ecstatic. To celebrate, she and her fiance plan an engagement party, only for it to be ruined by her sister. Her sister doesn't seem the most stable, and she makes an uncomfortable announcement at the party, even though the attention is supposed to be on the engaged couple. You'll have to read the full story below for all the juicy details.

    So I (20F) got engaged to my boyfriend (24M) last month, and this weekend we had a little engagement party at my parents' house. It was supposed to be super chill-just close friends and family, nothing crazy. My sister "Emily" was there, and for context, she's been going through a rough

    Anyway, during the party, my fiancé and I were making a toast. As I'm literally in the middle of thanking everyone for coming, Emily interrupts me to announce she has "some news." Everyone stops and looks at her, and she just goes, "I'm pregnant!"

    The room went de d silent because, first of all, she's not dating anyone right now, and second, she said last week she didn't want kids. My mom immediately starts crying (happy tears, I think?) while I'm standing there like... seriously?

    After the party, she admitted she made it up because she "felt left out" and wanted some attention. I was furious and told her she needed to leave because this was my moment, and she ruined it. Now she's begging to stay with me because she doesn't want to go back to our parents' house, but I told her no.

    She's calling me heartless, and even my mom says I should "be the bigger person" because Emily is struggling. But like, how is it my problem she decided to fake a pregnancy at my engagement party? AITAH?

    struggling with a breakup and is heading into "therapy for sure, personality disorder as a contender" territory. Does she have a history of not being able to handle not being the center of attention or ruining important events? That's actually diagnostically

    OdessaSunrise 7h ago Nah, you're not the A. Your sister faked a pregnancy for attention at your engagement party. That's not just struggling-that's main character syndrome on steroids. She's 23, not 13, and she needs to learn that actions have consequences.

    Your house isn't a rehab for bad decisions. Stay strong, and congrats on your engagement!

    • Sylvia Raene 6h ago • NTA. You're allowed to set boundaries, especially after she pulled that stunt at such a special moment for you. It's tough that she's struggling, but that doesn't mean you have to be her emotional safety net right now.

    Honestly, this could be a wake-up call for her to focus on herself. Wishing you all the best with your engagement and your future!
