[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you for the replies. Would the PP responses change if I add that my not visiting would absolutely damage my relationship with my sister? She would never understand and would take it personally.[/quote]

Just say on repeat and lob back any guilting that you just wish she hadn’t moved away. Why don’t you visit? I just wish so much you hadn’t moved away. You could visit? Why don’t you visit? I just wish you haven’t moved away….. repeat.[/quote]

This x1000. I really don’t understand why you allow your sister to dictate the terms of your relationship. If you don’t do what I want by giving up your own travel or following me then our relationship is damaged is not a sister who values the relationship in the first place.[/quote]

Seems fairly common to let a family member dictate, given all the responses telling OP to keep doing so.

The comments telling OP to pucker up and appease her sisters demands or ELSE are the pushy, controlling type people who screw over their own extended families.[/quote]

No one is saying that, come on.  OP doesn't have to do anything she doesn't want to, but she also has no control over whether her sister's feelings are hurt over it.  Choices have consequences, no matter which way OP decides here.

Also like someone else said isn't this all hypothetical at the moment anyway?[/quote]
