[quote=Anonymous]I'm always the last to know anything when it comes to one of my sisters- job changes, new boyfriends, etc.  Not only do I find out well after my other sister and parents know, but often after extended family as well.  Since we've become adults she's been closer to my other sister but we are in regular contact- she just never tells me anything of consequence when we talk (I don't typically ask if she's seeing anyone because I kind of hated when people asked me that when I was single).  Sometimes I think she does it on purpose to make me the odd one out (she's always been very competitive).

Well this weekend I found out from my mom that my sister has been dating another woman for 6 months!  Her first same sex relationship that i know of.  I do NOT think this is a case where she would be afraid of my reaction- I'm pretty liberal and supportive of LGBT rights and we have a couple gay cousins and several friends as well.  I asked my mom why my sister didn't tell me herself and my mom was like oh, she's been so busy and hasn't had the time to call so said I could tell you.  I'm happy for her but I'm feeling confused and irrationally hurt finding out about such a big milestone in her life this way.  It's also been a super stressful couple weeks for me so I think it's all just compounding.  Since she doesn't have time to talk to me, do I just send a text expressing support and that I'm here when she has time?  [/quote]
