My sister has just broken up with her boyfriend of 4 years 2 days ago and IM finding it really hard!! My sister is upset but I think they've both been having issues for a while now so I guess it had to happen. My sister is living with me now so I have been chatting to her a bit over the last few days and I find myself trying to convince her to go back to him... And I know I have to stop!! But I really liked him and thought they made a great couple, I know they had little problems along the way like the rest of us but they really suited each other. The main reason for splitting up is shes ready to settle down and get married etc but he still isn't and says he wont be for another couple years.

I feel so sorry for her ex boyfriend being left in the house they shared together with their 2 dogs and pretty much no family around while she has a Mum, Dad and 2 sisters to share the pain with. Today I am feeling so sad. I feel as though I have lost a family member, and even worse my DD has lost an awesome Uncle. Im crying over it but feel a bit silly! Is this normal?! Has anyone else been through something similar?? Did u find it tough??

I really want to keep a relationship with him but am thinking hes probably just going to want to get us all out of the picture and try and move on, plus it would probably be a bit awkward not having my sister there and trying to avoid the subject of her.

This is so new to me as when my sisters have broken up with past boyfriends their relationships have been full of abuse and Ive been begging them to end it.. but this one felt so right, and we all accepted him into our family right from the start.. we even went on a family holiday with his family 6 months ago!

What do u think I should do? Wait a week or so and go and see him with my DD? She loves him so much! I can make the excuse that Im dropping off fresh eggs from our chooks which I normally do, but I just don't know!! I don't want to cry when I see him!!!
