When it comes to personal relationships, you should always be able to trust your siblings and, of course, your partner. But now a woman is being warned about some 'major red flags' after making a surprising discovery about her fiancé and her sister.
The woman in question reached out for advice and to ask whether she was in the wrong after unearthing the truth about her future husband's workout partner - and people were quick to reach out and issue a warning.
The 24-year-old revealed on Reddit that her fiancé works out at the gym every weekday after work and, while she always knew he had a workout partner, she just assumed it was one of his friends. "On Friday, [my fiancé and I] were just chatting while I started on dinner and he got ready to go, and I mentioned that I had a book I wanted my sister to read because I know she likes reading," the woman wrote.
"My fiancé was like 'give it to me, I'll give it to her.' I was obviously like 'what?' and he got kind of uncomfortable. Like he started saying he should probably go and all. But I asked him why he said that and he said that it wasn't a big deal, but my sister is his workout partner. I said I thought that was weird, especially since he never told me about this. He said they just happened to go to the same gym and it became a 'thing'. He said I'm overreacting."
She concluded by asking if she is in the wrong. "I don't want to be like an annoying, jealous girlfriend, but it rubs me the wrong way," she admitted. "I can see why my sister never told me since I don't see her much + she literally never tells anyone anything, but my fiancé? I LIVE with him. Am I the a*****e?"

In the comments, she further spoke about her relationship with her sibling and the fact they are not close. She revealed that her sister didn't even tell the family when she got into law school - and that they only found out when her fiancé, also a law student, happened to mention it. "Yeah, I mean those red flags are so plenty they are blocking the sun," one person wrote in response, while a second echoed: "Girl it sounds bad because it is. Those two are walking red flags."
A third person wrote: "Wait a minute….So the only reason why you found out that your sister and fiancé know each other (and have known each other since law school) is because your fiancé accidentally mentioned it? And had it not been for your fiancé being a loose-lipped idiot, you'd never have known that they knew each other since law school and work out regularly together? The fact that him and your sister felt the need to cover up the fact that they knew each other and downplay it after you found out obviously means there's a lot more going on.
"Whether they've [cheated] or not is beside the point - he's obviously seeing her behind your back, and is emotionally cheating at the very least. I know Reddit is a bit over-enthusiastic with suggesting that couples should break up, but I think it's definitely warranted here. I think you need to either break up, or at the very least, have a very serious conversation about his relationship with your sister."
