My man can’t have a conversation with me without bringing up another woman – her identity makes things even weirder
A WOMAN has been left frustrated after revealing that her boyfriend can’t have a single conversation without bringing up another woman.
She said that he is always complimenting the other woman, and comparing the two of them.
Taking to Reddit, the 30-year-old revealed that she is sick of her partner bringing up his sister at every opportunity.
She said: “My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 2 years now.
“One of my favourite things about him has always been how caring he is and how close he is with his family.
“Recently, however, his younger sister seems to be coming up more frequently in our day-to-day conversations, and it’s starting to bother me.”
The woman revealed that she can’t bring up anything without her partner’s brother telling her how amazing his sister is.
She continued: “I’ll do certain things sometimes like stacking the dishes and he will say something like, ‘If my sister were here that would bother her so much'”.
“Last week I snapped back and said ‘Well, she’s not here is she?'”.
After sharing her annoyance, the woman asked Reddit users for her advice on whether she should tell her partner that him talking his sister all of the time is getting on her nerves.
The post was flooded with responses from Reddit users, many of whom agreed that it is strange that the man constantly brings up his sister.
One person said: “You should absolutely talk to him. Let him know you love his sister and it’s not about jealousy.
“You’d just like it if he focused more on you when you’re talking about yourself. “
A second person said: “Is he always bringing her up in ways that imply he thinks she’s better than you?
“Because that’s what these examples sound like.”
