Hey folks,
This might be a long post, but I really need some insights. My sister and I have been very close since we grew up in a kind of dysfunctional family. She has always been my support system for whatever I decide to do in my life. During the 2020 lockdown, I revealed to my family that I was in a relationship for over six years, and my parents weren't supportive. After a couple of years, the situation in my family remains the same, and I moved out of my home to Chennai. In the middle of all this, out of nowhere, my boyfriend accused me of cheating with my close friend. Since my boyfriend didn't like my friend, I stopped speaking with him. Still, he couldn't trust me, and we started fighting constantly. Around 2023, we broke up. After the breakup, I realized that I had fallen out of love long before we officially ended things. I think I should have left him when he first accused me of cheating, rather than staying with him and trying to gain his trust.
Also, after moving to Chennai, I was diagnosed with clinical depression, and that's around the same time I was accused of cheating. Now, I'm single and trying to recover from anxiety and the aftereffects of depression. Recently, my sister told me that she's in a relationship with someone, and I met him. The way he spoke to my sister reminded me of my ex. I'm afraid that my sister might go through a similar experience. I really hope no one goes through the same thing in the whole wide world, but what if this happens to my sister? When I expressed my concerns to her, she said he's nothing like my ex, but I can see some similar behaviors. What should I do? Please suggest.
