Ugh. My sister just announced she is getting a divorce. We are not ruprised but rather deeply disappointed. She insists on stating that she is committed to going through with it but always with a fake sing-songy tone. Her DH is a good man who has given her everything monetarily and genuinely enjoys spending time with her; wisks her off to trips, spas, mini and grand vacations. Yet, she insists she sacrificed 7 years of her life (the amount of time she was a SAHM to their only son). Said being home w/ their son was a big sacrifice for her. It is hard not to be angry at her and think she is being selfish. WWYD? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

your reaction should depend upon your relationship with her. If you two are very close, than it may be good to speak with her about what she is doing and why. If you two do not have a close relationship, it's probably better to just let her do as she will. [ Reply | More

what can you do? It's her life. I guess you can strongly recommend couples therapy, esp since there is a child involved. And you might gently point out how her words affect her kid, if she doesn't see that. You can never see what goes on in someone else's marriage, so I would keep any and all judgments to yourself.

She sacrificed 7 years of her life? The first thing I would do is suggest she never say idiotic things like that in front of my nephew. Good luck. Narcissists are so hard to deal with. [ Reply | More
