[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh dear me, we all have to tip-toe around sister.[/quote]

Who said tip toe? I said its kind of shitty- and that's all it is, not catastrophic but not the most kind thing in the world. People often have to deal with severing BIL/SIL relationships sometimes- these are teens it sounds like, they will survive. So will sister. All will survive and be fine with no lasting scarring no matter what happens- this is not a major problem- we know that.

The difference is that one way the sister deals with it and probably feels a little hurt/ left out/ whatever at the hands of her siblings and gets over it. The other way is that the siblings feel a little miffed that they don't get to hang out with ex BF a few more times and get over it. Lets be real, when this guy gets a new GF he probably will fall away pretty quickly anyway, so the siblings will be dealing with it anyway. I see just not meeting up and keeping in touch just via FB  to be the kinder option. Not tiptoeing.

But maybe that's because I have a functional relationship with my siblings and don't carry baggage that way when I see posts like this.

I suppose an exception might be in a scenario where the siblings in question have limited older role models and the ex filled that role (but this sounds like a much more traditional family structure)[/quote]
