My sister brought her boyfriend for our sibling bonding time AIO
So, in my city, there was a fireworks show, and along with it came a bunch of vendors and a band, so there were a bunch of people, and it was gonna be fun. I don’t get out and usually go places since I’m a homebody, but I wanted to spend time with my older sister (she’s 17 y/o, and I’m 14 y/o).
When we found out, we were excited for some one on one time, but then she said her boyfriend would be coming with us. I didn’t want him to go because I wanted sibling bonding time with her, but she ended up saying he had to come because she wanted to go to his house afterward.
While we were there, we had to walk a hefty bit to get to the vendors from where we parked. While we walked, she wouldn’t let me walk with them because I guess she wanted to just be alone with him, so she made me walk far in front so they wouldn’t have to be with me. I didn’t really think much of it at first, even though it hurt my feelings a bit because I didn’t want to ruin the mood.
Once we actually made it to the vendors and parted from my mom and cousin, as soon as we started walking around to look at stuff, her boyfriend was acting all mopey like he didn’t want to be there, and the whole time she was just trying to get him to buy stuff to make him feel better or something.
I kept trying to talk to them, but it wasn’t really working because they kept ignoring me. Then she told me to go away and leave them alone so they could talk, so I walked a good distance away. She said it wasn’t far enough and got mad, so I walked off until they weren’t really in sight.
After a little bit of walking, I got nervous about being alone, so I made my way back to where they were. They ended up just walking off again, so I had to find them a good section down, looking at jewelry, and I tried making conversation because I saw a furry.
I didn’t actually get a chance to talk because they wouldn’t let me walk with them, so I had to walk behind them. We also saw this cool vendor with little nostalgic Minecraft toys and stuff, and I started talking to her about it because I saw Little Kelly, but they just walked off again without saying anything, so I had to find them.
While we were walking after I found them, the band came out to play, so I got excited and thought this could make it a little fun. We all went to see the band and dance at the front, but her boyfriend wasn’t having fun and just stood there while we danced, so after maybe two minutes, we had to leave. After that point, I quit trying to talk and have fun with them since they wouldn’t talk to me at all. While walking back to meet up with our mom to watch the fireworks, he kept doing this thing where he was like, “I feel like I ruined the vibe…” in a really sad voice that honestly irritated me. Once they realized I wasn’t having any fun because I wasn’t trying to entertain them anymore, they kept calling me a “Debby Downer.”
I’m not usually very sensitive, but my feelings were really hurt at this point, and to be honest, I was kind of holding back tears.
As soon as we made it to watch the fireworks by the lake, they decided to go up close to them, away from most of the people. We all sat on this rock, except it wasn’t really big enough for three people, so they just sat next to each other facing the fireworks, and I had to sit off to the side.
The whole time, they were just kissing and stuff and didn’t bother talking to me, so I just decided I probably shouldn’t be there. I went off to find my mom and sat with her for the rest of the time, and we left soon after.
I talked to my mom and a few other people about what happened and how it hurt my feelings, and she said I’m just overreacting and that since they’re older or whatever, I should expect it.
I don’t really think I’m overreacting by being upset about it, though.
