[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I dont get what the problem is here.  He is nice, he treats your sister well.. so what--he complains sometimes?  She recognizes his flaws?  Seriously, what is the problem?  Do you *want* your sister to be lonely and unhappy?[/quote]

No, but I'm not sure you have to marry the first person you meet after getting out of a three year relationship, either.  [/quote]

Perhaps she learned a lot about herself thanks to the 3 year relationship?[/quote]

OP, I know that you care about your sister.  And she is very lucky to have someone who cares.  But let her live her life.

My DH and I got engaged after 5 months and were married within the year.  We are quite happy.  We knew that it was meant to be, so to speak.  We had 2 friends who questioned our decision: one who is a miserable divorcee who generally hates life and happiness in others.  And one who is in a very unhappy relationship.

Is there something in your own relationship that is making you think that this "rebound guy" isnt good enough for her?[/quote]

Nope - I'm happily married (and generally a pretty content person).  I guess my question for you is whether you knew it was meant to be from the beginning or whether you convinced yourself it was meant to be and that has worked out for you.  Because my sister is in the later category.  Not saying it wont work, but wasn't meant to be (for her at least) from the get-go.  [/quote]
