[quote=Anonymous]First, I think it is very wise of you to not interfere, unless there is immediate danger to your sister.

Second, I was a very little bit like her... that is, my parents took care of my every need and I lived in a bubble (was not allowed to go out, was dissuaded from having friends, etc). That I was immature at 19 when I met future DH would be putting it mildly.

So I met DH, 18 years older than me, during an internship. Brilliant academically and Asperger's-like. Dated then got married at 23, despite parental misgivings.

Grad school while being married then pregnant was quite the reality check!!! It nearly led to divorce. 
Here is what made me stay:
1. he loves me
2. he makes adequate money and is practically always employable (some spells of unemployment due to his inability to understand non-verbal cues)
3. he is never boring! Always has an out-of-the-box take on current events, and is nearly always proved right about it.

So stand back and observe, OP. 
If they break up, help her see why and how it might be easier to choose a different personality next time.
If they don't, maybe my story will help you come to terms with it.

I understand that being on the sidelines is very difficult - it must have been for my parents. Good luck.[/quote]
