She is controlling, manipulative and even told my girlfriend it would be her fault if she took her own life.
They are unhealthily close and this sister relies heavily on her.
I’m 42 and my girlfriend is 31. Her sister is 33.
She has never had a boyfriend and gets paranoid that her sister will leave when a boyfriend comes along.
They started arguing as soon as our relationship began.
My girlfriend considered ending it just to stop the arguments and ensure her sister doesn’t take her life.

I don’t want to lose my girlfriend but I don’t know how to break this destructive cycle either.
Maybe I should call it quits and leave her to her own life.
