[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think anything you say she's already considered, about 17 times.  It's easy from the outside to say/think "Why is she putting up with this" but you have no idea how anxious, angry, and embarrassed she likely is and how many times a  day she runs different strategies through her mind for either leaving him or getting him moving.  I think you would be piling on and preaching to the choir.  It's much better for you to be supportive than to scold.[/quote]

This isn't true. I had a "come to Jesus" talk with my best friend about her boyfriend and she dumped him the next week. I was sick of hearing her complain and be miserable, so I just told her the truth. She was very grateful that someone did. [/quote]

+1 if your sister or your best friends can't have an honest conversation with you, then who can?

No one is encouraging the OP to "scold" her sister.  But I don't think there's anything wrong with saying, "You want to get married and have kids. Your BF's actions are telling you that he doesn't want to get married.  If you stay at status quo indefinitely, are you okay with that?  And if the answer is no, why are you staying?"[/quote]
