I felt similarly when my elder brother got married. I have nothing against his wife and such, but they are so childish and the reason for their union was something out of this world. I was in this internal conflict of wanting to congratulate them but at the same time feeling that it was too early for them and too rushed. 

 

I guess this won't make me a better human being too but sometimes I wish I was less critical of things and people... :13877886: 

 

Well, sometimes critics are right. I mean, I only want the best for my sister and I think this is for the both of us. Some choices are obviously sad choices that may not lead to a happy life, and knowing her, knowing the person she's with, I cannot help but feel their union would bring a lot of damage, if they don't change the way they interact. 

It's absurd because I see her and him fighting and it's like I'm looking straight at my mom and dad - and it would be okay if that was it, because it's their life - the thing I'm most worried about is if they decide to have children without drastically changing a lot of relationship dynamics. 

 

It's true that in the end we cannot control other people's lives, and we're going to have to accept that, and live with that... still, I'm not going to pretend with her that I'm happy about it.

Have you or someone older in your family who shares your view, spoken to your sister about your concerns? Many brides-to-be may still shrug them off, but I know in RL of at least person that says 'I wish my parents had explained their concerns to me before I got married'. I don't think you have anything to lose, and at least one can feel better having done all one could.

Yeah, my parents are the 'live and let live' kind of parents and always allowed her to do all the 'mistakes' that she wanted, mostly. But I can think of at least 3 other relatives who would agree with me. So, who knows, maybe one day we'll make her an intervention xD 

Super random, but... the SEIMEI theme looks amazing on mobile

32 degrees in Bucharest too ... hot ...:13877886: and they say tomorow will be hotter ...

 

We'll have 35-36 degress in a couple of days. Now it's 32-33, which is hot, too, but I like the mornings because it's already warm enough not to wear a blazer, just a t-shirt.
