I’m a 19-year-old guy with a big problem. I have an 18-year-old sister who is very nice and very good-looking. We have been in love for two years. Our parents do not know. My problem is that she might be pregnant. If she is, we want to get married. Do we hide this from our parents? How will our parents react to this news? –PLEASE HELP!
My sister dated a guy for one month in high school and it didn’t work out. Four years later, I met up with the guy (not knowing my sister had dated him) and started a relationship. Long story short, I dated the guy for four and a half years before we broke up. The breakup was my idea, but he agreed it was for the best. My sister now has a very close friendship with this individual. They hang out, talk on the phone, go on trips. This really upsets me. A million guys in the world and my sister has to be best buddies with my ex-fiance? Am I being a psycho-bitch here? –LG

So tell your friend that you’d like to get to know his sister better. If he doesn’t want to put you in touch with her, ask him why. Perhaps he thinks you’re wrong for his sister for some reason; maybe you’re an asshole, he can barely tolerate you, and only pretends to be friends with you out of pity. Or maybe he thinks his sister is wrong for you; maybe she’s a psycho-bitch and he’s watched her chew up and spit out a string of nice guys. Either way, you won’t know until you ask.
But look on the bright side: unlike poor, pathetic PH at the beginning of the column, you at least had the decency to refrain from knocking up your sibling.
