Sometimes, you have to give some people the taste of their own medicine.
A netizen recently asked, “Am I a jerk for telling my extended family how many men (roughly) my sister has slept with after she outed our youngest brother as a virgin?”. We need you to find out!
Backstory
The Original Poster’s (OP’s) family had a family dinner this evening. His family has four kids in total: OP, his elder sister (29F), younger sister (24F) and youngest brother (22M).
Who Attended Dinner?
Extended family also attended their family dinner. So all of their significant others, their cousins, aunts and uncles etc., were present.
What Happened At The Dinner?
During the dinner, OP’s elder sister and youngest brother got into a mild disagreement. OP’s sister seemed (at least to OP) to be coming across as very aggressive out of frustration and losing the argument.
“The two of them were too absorbed in their argument to realize the rest of us were getting a bit fed up.”, says OP.
OP’s Sister’s Insensitive Comment
Eventually, OP’s sister got really fed up and said “Shut up, I’m not going to argue with a 22-year-old virgin.” OP’s brother hadn’t done any personal attacks up until that point, it was completely unprovoked.
“I think it might have been the alcohol as my sister is a mean drunk.”, says OP.
OP Took A Stand For His Brother
Anyway, OP immediately told his sister to grow up and that she was making an embarrassment of herself. She replied by saying everyone knows he’s a virgin and she didn’t say anything wrong.
This annoyed OP as his brother definitely has confidence issues and doesn’t need to be made fun of like this.
As You Sow, So Shall You Reap!
So, OP responded by saying how she slept with well over a hundred men while she was in college and that since everyone in the family knows this, it’s not a big deal, right? Turns out, her husband didn’t know this, amazingly.
“I genuinely assumed he must have known. He left the party angrily, saying my sister misled him about her past.”, says OP.
The Mess after that
The family is blaming OP for his sister’s marital problems. OP refuses to accept he did anything wrong.
“My sister bullied my brother in front of everyone, all I did was give her a taste of her own medicine.”, says OP.
Everyone’s In The Wrong
“Everyone’s in the wrong. Your sister obviously was the jerk for spouting off about your brother with hurtful intentions, but you were also the jerk for doing the same thing back to her (even though you were just sticking up for your brother).
Your family is the jerk for blaming you for the marital problems because your sister created those problems herself by ‘misleading’ her husband about her past.”
Your Sister’s A Double Jerk
“Not the jerk. Your sister’s a double jerk for lying to her husband and then shaming your brother.
Sometimes you have to tread the line between being a jerk and not, but you’ve walked that fine line admirably.
If she wants to embarrass him for not having intimate relationships, why is she ashamed of having so many intimate relationships?”
You Can’t Fight Fire With Fire
“Everyone’s at fault. Yes, she shouldn’t have said that about your brother but you can’t fight fire with fire.
Although I would have done the same as you OP, and I gotta give it to you, it’s pretty funny, I wouldn’t feel too bad if I were you.”
You Did The Right Thing
“Not the jerk. I believe you were in the right to give her a taste of her own medicine. Their marital problems wouldn’t be problems if your sister had told her husband the truth, to begin with.”
