I've definitely done this, and now I'm ashamed. Thanks, Internet!

You might be surprised by my stance on this topic, but I absolutely think romantic relationships are somewhat collective. Haven't you ever asked your girlfriends for advice on how to respond to a text message?

I'll go further and say that if your relationships aren't at least a little bit collective, you should work on them. I'm not saying you should expose every part of your intimate life or your partner's. I'm saying that by sharing different points of view with different people, we enrich our perspective on the issues that stem from our relationships.

We might think we are right about a subject while arguing with our loved ones, but as soon as we discuss it with someone else, in a space where the stakes are lower, we realize we weren't as right as we thought. I think that's the main way in which humans have shared knowledge and stayed flexible and civil throughout history, so I will always stand by any form of 'healthy gossip'.

Of course, I understand the man in this story took it a step further and completely removed himself from every discussion while he waited to receive orders from someone else.

The question is, is the girlfriend then ready to have a relationship with him without his sister's assistance? Will it be much different? There is a chance she might not even like him after all; I mean, she has yet to know him, because she has been practically dating his sister up until now!

What would you do? Would you give him an opportunity and prioritize everything else they've had during the relationship? Or would you consider this a deal-breaker and not an innocent need for reassurance?

  • I’ve been with my boyfriend for almost two years, and until yesterday I thought we had a pretty normal relationship.

    Obviously we argue sometimes, but never about anything extremely serious. Yesterday I was using his computer because mine wouldn't turn on and I

  • "This time I actually think she's right I wasn't going to open it, but underneath I could see part of the previous message. It was a screenshot.

  • Of a conversation between my boyfriend and me. I asked him directly why his sister had our private messages. At first he said he had only sent her "one or two"

  • screenshots because he wanted advice. Eventually, he admitted he's been doing it for months. Every time we argue, he takes screenshots and

  • I saw messages like: "Don't answer her yet. Wait two hours." "Say this, but don't use that emoji because she'll think you're mad."

  • "Act distant now and she'll reach out first." That's when I really got upset. Because I started thinking about all the arguments where he would disappear

  • for a few hours and then come back saying exactly the right thing. I thought he was taking time to calm down and think. Turns out he was waiting

  • for instructions from his sister. He says there's nothing wrong with it because he trusts her and just needs an outside opinion. He also says he's never

  • told her anything really intimate about our relationship. But to me, sending private conversations without asking me already crosses a line.

  • Now his sister has messaged me saying she never meant to cause problems between us and was only trying to help. My boyfriend wants me to let it go and promised he won't do it again.

  • But now I keep wondering: How many decisions in our relationship were actually his? Would you consider this a betrayal of privacy, or am I overreacting?

  • Coriolanuscangetit So uh, that's ah I of a way to find out you've actually been dating his sister this whole time >

  • Little_Mail_5685 I think this is a weird thing to be at. It's very intrusive and definitely crosses a line. The fact that he told her that you now knew is weird too

  • aquamarine1029 If you don't understand that this betrayal should be an absolute deal breaker, none of us can help you. This man child can never be trusted, and this type of behavior will never stop. Run for your life.
