Sibling rivalry is very common and as old as time. I mean, Cain and Abel are quite a big example, aren’t they? However, there are a few people who always want to upstage their siblings, always want what they have, and shamelessly snatch it away, too.
Just look at the sisters in this Reddit story, where the younger sister lied to the elder sister’s crush just so she could have him. Now, they are engaged to be married, but their sibling finds out what she did and wants to rat her out to her fiance!

Matt was furious and broke up with Jay, but she turned her anger on her siblings and blocked them everywhere
Today, we dive into a conflict that sparked drama between siblings because of what the younger sister did to the elder one. It all started when the poster’s elder sister (Kay) started liking a guy (Matt) from work, so the family encouraged her to invite him to her birthday party. However, things turned sour after the party as Matt was angry towards Kay, while she had no clue why.
Fast forward to six months later, OP’s younger sister (Jay), who met Matt at the party, declared that they are a couple! Kay was very hurt by this, but she didn’t really show it to anyone, and OP felt really bad for her. One day, the poster found out that Jay wanted handsome Matt for herself, so she lied to him at the party that Kay had a boyfriend!
It all made sense now about why Matt had got all distant with Kay suddenly, and then Jay had been in touch with him and asked him out. Things went well between the two, and now they are engaged to be married. Here’s the conundrum: the poster feels awful about what Jay did to Kay, and they are contemplating whether to tell Matt about the whole thing or not.
After they had sought advice online, many people encouraged them to reveal the whole truth to Matt before he married her, as he deserved to know. Well, they did do it when they introduced their girlfriend to the family, and all hell broke loose! They passed it off as an innocent comment about how Jay had also stolen Kay’s boyfriend before, and everyone had thought that Kay had a crush on him.

When the whole truth was revealed to the family, Kay and their mom were completely shocked by what Jay had done. Guess what happened with the couple? Matt broke up with her and apologized to Kay for everything. Apparently, now Kay and Matt are quite good friends, meanwhile, Jay is angry with everyone, including OP.
She has removed OP from all her social media but completely blocked Kay, while saying terrible things about her on Instagram about how she’s a “man stealer”. However, despite everything, OP is glad that they told Matt about her lies and did good by Kay. Folks online also applauded them for standing up for their sister and claimed that this was a case of sibling rivalry as Jay was clearly jealous of Kay.
It has been observed that sibling rivalry stems from children competing for their parents’ love. A survey of 2,000 adults in the UK showed more than half of respondents still feel they’re in competition with their siblings. 51% of these adults report a lasting, competitive relationship with their siblings, and said they compete over everything, and some experts agree these conflicts drag on.
Well, looks like Jay was indeed dragging some rivalry with Kay because she had previously snatched away Kay’s first boyfriend as well. We really hope that this was the last time ever that she does this to Kay and that she will stop ruining even her own relationship with the rest of the family.
What are your thoughts on the story? Also, if you were in the poster’s shoes, how would you have handled the situation? We would love to hear your thoughts, so type them away in the comments!
