My older sister is planning on meeting her long distance boyfriend today and i was supposed to go with her. I agreed to go initially because even though i strongly disapprove of the relationship and had a lot of work to do for school, i didnt want her to go alone.
I found out later that my other sister was going to go too, and then our dad was also going.
I didnt feel like i needed to go anymore because she wouldnt be alone.
I also find out she doesnt even want me to meet the guy, and just wants me to drop her off somewhere with him and then i get stranded for 6 hours waiting for them to be done. I also just didnt want to be in the car with her for four hours since we dont get along that well, and she is very belligerent.
I flaked out this morning, and i feel like a piece of shit for doing it.
Maybe im being a little selfish but she also wasnt honest with me about how the trip would actually go.
How do you say no to family without feeling like a piece of shit?
You stop feeling bad about your decision the moment you realize she didn't tell you the whole truth.
Why are you even interacting with your sister at this point? It sounds like you don't get along at all and she doesn't give a shit about you. Let her do whatever she wants with her life, you worry about yourself.

>How do you say no to family without feeling like a piece of shit?
You say No. You have at least as much right to refuse as she has to ask you, in any situation. In this one you have more right not to be inconvenienced than she has to inconvenience you..

We both still live at home so its difficult to not interact.
Its just so exhausting having to deal with constantly being told im an asshole or selfish because i dont do whatever she wants.

My younger sister is an insufferable lazy piece of shit who only interacts with the rest of the family when she needs something out of them.
My parents apparently love being taken advantage of without ever getting anything but disrespect in return, but I've long cut her out of my life and pretend she no longer exists.
Every now and then in life, a point comes where a man gotta do what a man's gotta do, OP.
update for anyone who sees this: I just got confronted about it and of course its all my fault. This is what i get for saying no. So fucking frustrating

Be the bigger person, but also tell her it's the last time.
When you say No to family you have to mean It, allowing them to walk all over you will only make it worse. You are a person with opinions and feelings, people tend to get lost in their own little world and forget that. Unless they have you by the balls due to living circumstances you should be allowed to voice your opinion.
