bluechocolate Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 You cannot spend the rest of your life afraid that your step-sister is going to steal your boyfriends. If your relationship is strong enough he won't fall for her. If he does then he wasn't worth it in the first place, was he? ,hes at work now though' im like how the hell do u know that? thats personal information wouldnt any of u agree? No, I wouldn't agree. What is so personal about that kind of information? Just a guess, but it could have gone something like this: Q. "What are you up to today?" A. "I've gotta be at work at 4". he speaks to her about things he normally tells me after his hard day and it makes it seem meaningless like im just a mate I don't quite understand your reasoning here. What does he speak to her about that is so special that it should only be shared with you? Are you positive that these things he's talking about he wouldn't be talking about to anyone who asked him how his day was? And you know something? You should be his mate. Clearly you have issues around your step-sister which you have never fully dealt with. I'm not defending her, but you are letting her control your life. Despite the fact that you no longer live together & she is living with her boyfriend you are still so caught up with your past that you are getting depressed & bursting into tears. Slamming the phone down on her, asking her why she is speaking to him - you are also letting her know that she can still get to you. I'm not sure that telling your boyfriend that you don't want him talking to her is going to help. If she is indeed so charming & manipulative he probably won't know what you're on about. He'll be thinkng she's nice & friendly & then the next thing you know he could be talking to her about you - then she'll know she's really got you! You've told him how nasty & patronising she has been in the past. I'm sure he knows how you feel about her. If you're confident in your relationship then you should brush her off. Forget about it. Let him speak to her at college, what's he supposed to do? Be rude to her? If it is really this bad for you the easiest thing to do would be to move away & never speak to her or see her again. But that isn't realistic. I can't tell you how to overcome your insecurity & jealousy with this girl, perhaps you should seek some counselling to help you move beyond this.
