Is it normal to be aggravated by this?

My sister had been with her boyfriend for seven months. If you look at them, they appear to be very happy together, but lately it seems that every time they talk on the phone she yells at him for the least little things. They get in fights over silly things ("he does not tell her he loves her", as she says). She was like that with her last boyfriend (that relationship lasted almost two years). He had broken up with her once because he said she fussed too much. I know I should not side against my own sister, but the ex had a point - she does. One time when she was on the phone griping at her (current) bf I yelled, "Don't fuss at him!" Afterward I felt kind of guilty about it too, because it is not like it is any of my business. But there have been several times when I have just wanted to yell, "Will you please stop (griping) at him all the time?" I have a feeling she may be one of the controlling types of girlfriends. Is it normal to be annoyed by a sibling's constant yelling at his or her girlfriend or boyfriend?

    I get where you're coming from. My sister is the same way. I actually don't understand sometimes, how her boyfriend's deal with her crazy personality ahaha.

    But yes, I'm in agreeance. I find myself many times wondering if she could just tone it down a bit, then maybe her and her boyfriend's wouldn't get into fights. But what I usually do is lay low, and stay out of it because then she'd start a fight with me LOL.

    I was about to troll here, but now it seems pointless.

    Yes, it's normal. She's needs a wake up call or she'll have a hard time finding a man.

  • One of the reasons why I think relationships are pointless. It seems the majority of them cause more negativity than positivity.

    My advice to you; smack her across the head.

    Where is Sean Connery when you need him? (Only some of you will get what I mean there).

    Don't get too fond of her latest bf - he won't be around for too much longer!

    Her boyfriend sounds like a nice guy, but even nice guys have their limits. She's going to keep driving away these nice boys until she either figures out what she's doing wrong and decides to change (after being dumped over 9000 times) or finds a guy that won't tolerate that crap and "put her in her place" so to speak. Either way, she needs to grow up.

    It may be none of your business, but on the other hand, some advice might help. If she doesn't take the advice, don't go any further: What's gonna happen will happen.

    don't worry my older sister argus with her bf when they don't go out together somewhere and all i want to say is you've both been at work all week, you've been sitting in an office all day and he's in the RAF so he's been busy it's hard for him to want to do something all the time and you should just be happy to spend time with him. it bugs me that i can't say anything because i feel like she just wants him to spend money on her... i do hope your sister isn't as bad as you think but you'll just have to try and blank her relationship out.
