Discussion Title: sister will not move on
Created by: kay2me Created on: Sun, 05/10/2009 - 11:26pm. my sister is my best friend i care so much about her but no matter what i do or say she will not let her first love go ,he was her first everything and they have a 22 yr old son that he has never really been around for ,she broke it off when she was 17.but has never got over him .he moved on but 3 wks after they split she was wanted him back but by then he was with the girl he had cheated with several times and refused ,he married the girl but the next day came to see my sister and of coarse we all know what they did ,he is still with the other girl and it has been 20 yrs my sister has been married 2 x each time ending with a split in between her marriages she has went back around him 3 x that i know of ,as recent she told me she is going to get him back now she has not even seen him in 5 yrs but when i was on her computer i saw his home saved in google earth and maps "and yes that is strange "i want to help her learn to let him go he isnt mr wonderful but im not sure how to help her could it be that she really loves him i mean it has been so long i know he would just use her for one thing like since they split up the first time ,this cant be healthy i feel like she has wasted so much of her life over him already .i tried to remind her that he wasnt a good dad to her son and that he hasnt even met his son but 2 x and that was in court over child support and his wife was with him because she does not trust him near my sister "i heard that from her sister" first loves are hard to get over but isnt 20 yrs alitte long .

very sad she has wasted her life over him it is hard to move on though when you get a scar like first love yes her and the earth thingy that is cause to worry but it is most likely she has never learned to let him go so seeing his home on there makes her feel closer to him i understand your concern if she does go back around him from what you said he will just use her for what you said seems to me he may be hung up on her in his on way to since he keeps allowing her back even with a wife and on the day after the wedding my god what was he thinking his wife should be real worried her feelings of not trusting him near her alone are true she must also realize they have a thing for each other still i feel sorry for both your sister and his wife but more so for his poor wife she has this threat who is out their the threat goes away and comes back year after year and now she is getting ready to have her world blown away again for your sister to say i will get him back i really do not think she cares about much as long a she can have him back even if it is just for a few hours to me it sounds like your sister will not give up she will always be waiting in the wind to pounce,the most you can do as a sister is be their for her good or bad she is still your sister ,love her that is what sisters do .from what i hear if she has not give him up it has been years she may never.

Do you know any nice men you can set your sister up w/? If not, ask around. Also, take your sister out to different places where she can socialize and get to know other people. Even if she doesn't meet the man of her dreams, at least she'll be out socializing. Maybe she'll build some friendships which wld take her mind off her first love. Your sister needs a lot of support. She also needs a confidence boost and a kick in the rear to move on for good. She knows her first love is not who she shld be w/. She just needs the opportunity to meet someone new who will truly sweep her off her feet. She won't meet him, though, if she doesn't try.
I know several people who met their partners online. I personally wldn't choose online dating for myself, but so many others swear by it. Your sister needs to get to the point where she's ready to put herself out there w/ confidence and an open mind. Finding the right person takes time. If one relationship doesn't work out, she needs to pick herself up and try again. She shldn't be giving up and resorting back to guy #1 just to have someone in her life. To hell w/ him. She shld respect herself enough to know that she can do so much better for herself and that she certainly deserves so much better. The main thing is to have fun, meet people, and enjoy life. By no means shld your sister be diving into each relationship like it's the only one. If she does that, she may never find Mr. Right. An open mind and confidence are key b/c if your sister is not happy w/ herself, how can she find happiness w/ anyone else?
I hope this helps. Good luck to your sister.

You're a good sister. Maybe counceling will help. Have her look into it.
