Can I ask my sister not to talk about someone?

[Anonymous]

I am sure your sister has done some other crap to you n the past. Does she have no other friends?

how is your relationship with your sister otherwise? it looks like she is intentionally bringing up this friend for the sole purpose of annoying you. why would she do something like that?

Omg, get a life, OP.

So if I ask and she ignores, what do you suggest?

The same thing as everyone else on the thread has said. Stop engaging when she does it. Remove yourself physically if necessary. You’re making this harder than necessary. I’m guessing she enjoys the reaction she’s getting from you so she keeps doing it.

Ok, thanks. I will do that. She is a terrible person though, if she enjoys seeing me upset.

Surely you know by now if your sister is a terrible person.

What did her friend who shall not be named do to piss you off to this extent?

Is your sister always so insensitive? Does she pick at you a lot?

Just walk away. If she says something merely reply, “I’m well aware you’re being deliberate. You chose not to respect my feelings so I’ll just have to deal with it my own way as well.”

Does she do this to your middle sister too?

Aren't you and your DH trained by now to never say "which friend" when your sister casually mentions "a friend"? The "friend" will always be the one you hate and don't want to talk about.

Your sister knows where your goat is kept and likes to feed it. Only she knows why she does this, and perhaps you. Stop playing. Your response to all things "My friend..." has to be "how nice". It's a little 'single white female' that she is so focussed on this person, BTW.

Yeah, I don't understand how your DH keeps asking "which friend" every time your sister says My friend has mets tickets or look at this car...
Who responds with "which friend?" and if your sister says "It's larla's car. She just got a huge bonus and decided to buy this car"

why isn't your DH stopping her right there and then and saying "Hey Sis, OP doesn't want to hear about Larla." and then talk about something else.

And you, OP, can do the same thing - you don't even need to wait for DH if you're in the room. She answers DH's question and if she starts to continue talking about Larla, you interrupt and say "I don't want to hear about Larla. How's your job going?" or whatever other subject you want to talk about.
