Life can be unpredictable. The truth is, we never know what’s around the corner or what obstacles may come our way later. We know that no matter how hard or difficult a decision may be, we are often forced to make it.
One man told the story of how he wanted to adopt his little sister after their parents died, but it ruined his marriage with his wife. Either his sister or his wife got involved. Read below to find out how he dealt with the circumstances and the choice she made.
“Pancreatic cancer took my father’s life. My sister has two choices: either my uncle [my father’s brother] takes her or me. She picked me up when we asked her who she wanted. The problem is that my wife’s no. I want to adopt my sister even though my uncle can because my wife and I decided we don’t want kids.
“However, since my sister is now without parents, I want to make sure that she can recover and stay well. I will not let her stay with our uncle against her will. My wife and I have a lot of conflicts about this. Finally, I told her that I understand that, whether he agrees or not, and that he can either accept it or we file for divorce. We haven’t spoken since. What can I do in this situation?”
“I spoke to my wife one more time. She refused again because she was against having children. That’s why we basically decided to go our separate ways. You really prefer your sister over me,” she said. I told her that even though I didn’t. I don’t want to reopen the topic, it was fine if you wanted to hear it. Yes, my sister now comes first; I’d prefer her to you.”
“We had our last conversation today. It’s been a week since I moved in with my sister. It’s hard being a brother who’s kind of a father, but I really love it.”
“My husband and I split up. I’m taking care of my sister.”

So proud of you. You can always find another wife who cares for you and your sister. Sister are forever.
God bless this man! I feel he made the right choice. Blood is sometimes thicker than mud! That said, I have friends that I prefer over family so the door swings both ways. I respect the decision this man made to care for his sister and lost respect for someone who claimed to love her husband but would rather leave than take in his minor sister! Cold and thoughtless is not a match for a man who gave up his love for his sister. I wish him and his little sister a life of love and happiness.
For me, you made the right choice looking after your sister when she has nobody else. Sad that your wife is not more sympathetic of your sister. Your sister is your flesh and blood it is only right that you look after her when she is still young.
You would think someone would proof read these articles. This particular one keeps mixing up husband and wife. I’m reading thinking the BIG Brother is talking. Later it seems the Big Sister was. If you can’t get it right, don’t publish it.
He did the right thing I don’t believe his wife was ready to give up her childhood. Good for you sir you did the right thing
God Bless You, the Lord will always be with you for the love you show for your sister
I was in the Army had 2 years to retire with a pension. I received orders to go Germany, my wife said no get out of the Army to make her happy. I said, “No way, 18 years of hard work”. I received my divorce papers in September and apparently, she got married to someone else. I never was able to have other women in my life, I am a free man and able to do and accomplish what I can do while I am healthy. Now, as an old 84 man, I just have to take of myself and not worry about others.
