It's been an amazing year for me and yet, it seems as though none of it has been acknowledged by you.
No card or phone call saying congratulations, no simple gift sent- nothing.
Instead- I get told "give it back, why would you do this? It is not right- this is your her time and you are ruining it."
Yes, that happened.
I got engaged and did the right thing by telling family first and that was the response I get; did I expect that?
Not necessarily, but I also wasn't expecting happiness coming from the other side of the phone.
I was thrilled that the love of my life had finally popped the question!
I soaked it all in before I made that phone call and to this day- I regret calling to spread the news because one of the happiest moments of my life was ruined within 10 minutes.
Apparently (according to them) when one person in your family is engaged and planning a wedding the others are simply to stop their lives from progressing and put everything on hold until that wedding and time is over.
It hurt and still hurts and I will never be able to get over it.
You are my sister and should have embraced and enjoyed this time together with both of us being brides-but you didn't.
Your wedding is over, "your time" is done.
It's my turn.
