If one sister gets divorced and moves in with the other, it can lead to a significant shift in the dynamic of their relationship. The sisters may have to navigate new boundaries and roles, which can be challenging but also provide an opportunity for growth and deeper connection.
A Redditor took to a popular forum and asked, “Am I wrong for telling my sister to stop leaving her room when she’s wearing her nightgown?”
Backstory:
The Original Poster’s (OP) 26-year-old sister moved in with her and her 32-year-old husband several days after her divorce was finalized.
OP’s sister also lost her job, making it impossible to continue paying rent for her apartment.
OP had been mostly in agreement with her sister since she moved in with her and her husband, except for one issue. OP was uncomfortable with what her sister wore, particularly at night when she unwinded and relaxed.
Her sister usually wore silky nightwear, mostly nightgowns, which OP thought was inappropriate. When OP suggested that her sister buy some pajamas, she refused, saying she didn’t “feel comfortable” in them.
Despite OP being the only one who saw her sister dressed like that, she was concerned about the potential for arguments with her husband if her sister continued to dress like that and left her room.
What Happened Next?
Last night, OP saw her sister in the kitchen wearing a purple, strapped, knee-length nightgown while grabbing something from the fridge.
When OP tried to speak to her sister about that, they argued. OP told her sister to stop leaving her room when she was dressed like that, but her sister argued that there was nothing wrong with what she was wearing and that she wasn’t walking around without clothes.
What Did The Sister Say?
OP responded that it was her home and that her sister should respect her request as a guest. However, her sister replied that just because she was living in OP’s house didn’t mean that OP had the right to control what she wore. She then stormed off to her room.
OP and her sister have not spoken since the argument in the kitchen. Her sister is still refusing to talk about the issue, and there seems to be a tense atmosphere in the house.
What do you think about the situation? Was OP right to ask her sister to change her nightwear, or was her sister right to resist this request?
