My sister is two years younger than me, single, and has a great job. She is also gorgeous. I feel resentment toward her sometimes, because my husband and I do not have the lifestyle she does, with the fancy car and the long vacations to exotic places. We have a good relationship besides my being envious sometimes. I borrow clothes and shoes from her all the time, and she doesn't seem to mind. She comes over to our house a lot, and my husband gets along great with her which makes me very happy because I love my sister to death. Lately though I have been more envious then ever.
But then the other day we were talking and she almost started to cry...I can barely remember the last time I saw her cry, she just doesn't do it...she told me she was very very lonely and thats when she almost cried but she caught herself like she always does.
I'm not sure how to handle this. She has advantages I will never have...she's so pretty, she has a great personality. How do I react to her sorrow?Can someone give me some relationship advice regarding my sister?
Now you see what it means when people say '; you can't have it all in life. While your sister is successful and pretty she is not happy and does not have anyone to hold her at night. You on the other hand have a husband who loves you but not all the luxuries that you may want.
Don't be envious of what she has. All does things are material and in the end really do not matter. I bet you that your sister would trade places with you in a sec, If she could.
Be a good sister and listen to her and be their for her. Let her know that someday she too will find someone special. It is just a matter of time. and to be glad that when that day does come she will have already lived her life and traveled and had all the fun that a single girl should have.Can someone give me some relationship advice regarding my sister?
Like they say the grass is always greener on the other side. I feel bad for her because it is clear that she is jealous of what you have. Even though she has the nicer clothes and cars and so on it doesn't even come close in comparison of what you have. I also know where you are coming from. The best way for you to react to her sorrow is to let her know that you feel the same way about her.
You react with compassion for her feelings. I do believe she is just as jealous about you too. You made not have the looks and a lot of material things like she does, but please see that what you do have is precious in her eyes. Try to be her sister and talk to her about whats going on in her life, and then maybe you won't be so jealous anymore. She is blessed to have you for a sister. :-)
