I know it's gonna happen
My sister plans to leave for love
Its too late to talk her out of it but i know it will destroy my family.
I know its gonna shatter my dad and mom as well as my cousins.
But i cant do anything i can only wait for it to happen either this year or the next. I hate myself for it but there's nothing i can do.
I come from a strict family, our culture relays on us being together and caring for each other. My sister is going to break that and no matter how hard i try i cant talk her out of it.
Im an after thought in this but i can't deal with the pain or reality of this.
Please help
Any advice appreciated

So I'm still alone.. my friends keep ditching me for their boyfriends or they are out of town with their families. Unlike my friends, I have to work ALL THE TIM...
The only person who can decide what to do is your sister. If she is genuinely in love she will leave. Your family should respect her decision even if it's against your culture. If they love her they should love it that she has found love. If you are from the Middle East there are too many laws and rules in your society and the old saying is 'rules are made to be broken'. So be happy for her and wish her all the best for her future. It is her life and she should not have to be miserable because of her families' culture. If you are in a western country you live under the laws of that country so she is free to follow her heart anyway.
ReplyThink of the pressure your sister may feel, that her being unhappy may be the only thing to save that
ReplyIts tricky to advise on the basis of a little info....but ….from my situation I can say....in a somewhat similar situation...so my wife has withdrawn from ( among other things ) Physical intimacy. So she has made a choice FOR ME. I cannot go there. Like your sister cannot do something she wants to do...in both cases ...the rules someone else imposes on us , makes is have to CHOOSE against ourselves...of leave the "organisation". In my case, I have to my marriage, because I cannot obey it's rules, your sister sounds like she cannot obey family rules...on love.
All I would say , is it must be so tough for you, but you are affected by it,
