Crazy sister lost her mind when I refused to walk down the aisle with her creepy brother-in-law
and attack me. So I ripped her hair out. My sister says I can't be in her wedding if I bring my
boyfriend, male 26, of five years. I met my boyfriend in college seven years ago and we
started dating five years ago. He's super close and loving with my family. He was there at my
sister's births, baptisms, Christmas vacations. We are extremely committed to each other for the long
run but don't want to get married until we are financially stable and both our careers are where
we want them to be. My sister has been with her fiance for two years and engaged for six months.
My sister is the type of girl who has dreamed of getting married since she was a little girl.
It didn't matter who proposed, she just wanted to be married. I have never cared if I got married or
not. As long as I have a good career and a happy relationship, I'm fine. In the beginning of her
relationship, she tricked me into going on a double date with her fiance and his brother.
She had said it was dinner with her and a friend and it was most definitely not. The brother kept
making passes at me the whole time and I told him I had a boyfriend. The whole situation made me
uncomfortable. At their engagement party, my boyfriend noticed that the brother wouldn't
stop staring at me and we tried our best to avoid him. Every time I've seen this guy, he's been weird
towards me. My sister wanted me, my twin fraternal, and two brothers in her wedding. The wedding is
supposed to be next month in the beginning of May. My sister just told me that I'm going to be walking
down the aisle with her fiance's brother. I told her that he makes me uncomfortable and I thought
I'd be walking with my own brother. Apparently, this is something her fiance is insisting on
and she wants to make him happy. Seems like a pretty weird thing to insist on and I know it's
some scheme between the two brothers. My other siblings also thought it was weird and voiced
their objections to our sister. She got upset and said this is her wedding and she'll do what she
wants. I told my boyfriend this and he was upset for me. He's confident enough in himself that he
knows this guy would never be competition but he knows how uncomfortable I am with this situation.
The other day, we had family dinner at my mom's house. I took this as an opportunity to bring up
the situation with my mother around. My sister got extremely upset and started crying, saying I was
trying to ruin her marriage. I was so confused, as was everyone else, and tried to explain that he
makes me and my boyfriend extremely uncomfortable. She then said that I can't bring my boyfriend to
her wedding anymore and if I do, then I'm no longer a bridesmaid. She gave no reason as to
why I can't bring him and my siblings were just as upset, considering they like my boyfriend a
lot better than my sister's fiance. I thought I would give her a few days to calm down and rethink
but she has not changed her mind. My boyfriend is an incredible guy and has been nothing but kind
and generous to my sister. His feelings are hurt but he still wants me to go to the wedding.
I think my sister is being unreasonable and I will be pretty pissed off at the wedding if my
life partner is not there with me. I love my sister but I don't understand why she's forcing
some silly request by her creepy brother-in-law. I don't know what to do. My family's no help either.
I went to my parents house with my brothers and told them about everything their brother-in-law
has done that makes me super uncomfortable and how my sister is disrespecting my relationship.
My dad was pretty pissed off about the date stunt that she pulled and is on my side. My mom however
says that I need to try and resolve this with her because if I'm not part of the wedding party,
people will talk. I honestly couldn't give a poop about what my extended family has to say.
My mom called the family meeting and told my sister and my twin to come to the house.
My dad asked her why I was no longer walking with my brother to which she responded saying that it's
just what her fiance wants and she just wants to make him happy. I pressed the issue asking why
it's such a big deal for me to walk with him and that he's super weird and I wouldn't be surprised
if he tried to assault me. That really pissed her off. She started crying and yelling saying a bunch
of BS about how this is all she's ever wanted and we're trying to ruin her special date. I was tired
of the arguing and just straight up said I'll go to the wedding as a guest then. I'm leaving before
the reception. My twin and younger brother took my side and said they don't want to be in the wedding
party if I'm not. This made my sister lose her effing mind. She was screaming, calling me a bunch
of names and also calling my boyfriend names. I decided to leave and let my parents calm her down
but before I could walk out she ran at me and yanked my hair. Still screaming she wouldn't let
go so I yanked hers too and she let go. She has extensions and apparently I effed them up and ripped
some hair out. She tried to grab me again so I punched her in the face. I didn't mean to hit her
it was just my instant reaction to someone coming at me. So now she has a black eye, a cut on her
cheek and is missing some hair. She's absolutely livid because her bachelorette party is next week.
My mom is mad at me, my dad is not. My sister is now saying that she's going to press charges
against me. She's also pissed off because my other siblings won't be in the wedding.
She told my mom if I apologize to her and agree to be in the wedding she'll let me walk with my
brother. I feel like that is bs and she will still make me walk with the brother-in-law last minute.
At this point I feel like it's not worth the trouble and I just don't want to go at all.
My mom and dad want me to do what she asked because they're paying for the wedding and want
all their kids there. My twin and younger brother said they'll do whatever I want to do
but I don't think I should be the reason they don't go.
My boyfriend feels like he started all this drama when none of it is even his fault.
