My girlfriend tells me last night that her sister tells her that if we get married it would effect their relationship as sisters, this really hurt my GF. Then she calls me questioning our relationship saying she doesn't want to hurt her sister, who I should add they have a surface level relationship at most.

Why does her sister hate me? It all goes back to years ago when she was just sophomore in HS, her sister and I are about 8 years older. My GF puts us on the phone together and I was super awkward and shy, I just didn't know how it interact with a teenie bopper. She felt slighted and hurt, has hated me ever since. She's now 20 and in college. I apologized for being immature then and not interacting the right way with her. She accepted and said she totally understood. Little did I know she really was giving me BS and still hates me for it

She tell my GF she can do better and to look for other people every time my name comes up. Recently she told my GF there are so many great hot foreign men at her campus, my GF asked her why she would care and she responded along the lines "you're still with him?!?!", even though she knows we've been in a serious relationship for years.

Every time I try to reach out to her sister she wants nothing to do with me, blocked me on twitter, Instagram, responds dryly to texts days later. Don't know what to do with her and she could fuck everything up if she gets her way

What? Is there more to this? You didn't kill her puppy did you because this sounds insane. One awkward phone call and she's your enemy?

Ask your girlfriend to tell her sister to drop it and stay out of her business. If she's not willing to do that then maybe it's not meant to be.

This happened to my friend a couple weeks ago.

Unless they stop talking all together you're put at a serious disadvantage and there isn't anything you can do. Sorry OP.

Perhaps you can try hand writting her a letter?

This sounds incredibly irrational. I feel you're leaving something out

And if you aren't, she sounds like an idiot. If she's going to have a tantrum, let her.

Sounds like she just flat out sucks.

There might be more to this than you're telling on though. So you were shy to her on the phone and thats giving her a lifelong hatred towards you? Sounds puzzling.

That sucks, but the girl is immature as hell. What did you do that caused her to keep a grudge for so many years? Insult her favorite boy band or something at the time?

Sister needs to grow the hell up, I can understand disliking someone for a bevy of reasons, but because you made a bad impression almost a decade ago is straight up childish. Either there's more to the story or you all need to sit down and hash this shit out.

Sounds like a really toxic family environment. What emotional baggage does your gf drag around with her, and how long will you truly tolerate it? I say that because your gf plays into her sister's bs and considers listening to it, all while making sure you hear every little thing. Are you willing to deal with hearing similar about other people - friends, relatives - in the long term?

Sadly there isn't much more to this, except one thing. I told my GF I think she's immature, this was when she was still in HS, for some stupid reason my GF tells her sister this and is the reason I didn't talk properly with her in the phone, so it added fuel to the fire

That had happen years ago and she won't let it go and now she's trying to fuck it all up

The best part of all this is she doesn't tell my GF anything of substance when they talk, it's all surface talk, she even blocked her own sister from Instagram because she didn't want her snooping on her. when my GF confronted her about this, she just laughed it off like it was all jokes, and on cue, my GF being the loving older sister she is just takes it as a joke when not seeing what's really happening

Some people are astoundingly good at holding grudges. One ex-girlfriend's friend whom I inadvertently insulted the first time we met still actively hates me to this day. We met in 1994.

Has the sister ever had a bf?

Maybe she's just jelly that her sister has a long term bf

Maybe a guy took her out for a date and never called her back

Maybe you should take the sister out on a date and never call her back

It's been 8 years, she hates him for something way more deeply rooted than that.

My money is on OP having made a pass at her.

She blocked her own sister?

Your sister will eventually figure out what the deal is with her and minimize her interactions. Hopefully she figures this out before it blows up your relationship.

She has a BF, who knows how many she has now, she doesn't tell her sister anything but loves telling her older sister who to be with

My GF is too loving and nice to ever see wrong in her, even when it's right in her face

Ask her why she has to be so ruuuuuuuude.

Then tell her you're going to marry her anyways.

During that phone-call, you were "super-awkward and shy," yet at the same time, you were "immature and not interacting in the right way", for which you apologized.

Now which one is it? Your story makes no sense. What happened during that phonecall? WTF???

Maybe she secretly has a crush on you.

OP is walking into a harem situation.
This is just like one of his Chinese cartoons.

If you've been together for 8 years and she's hedging over something stupid like this, then there are some deeper-seated issues that you might want to discuss.

Edit: Ahh, misread it a bit.. well, the point remains but replace it with 4.5 years.
