She tells me that when they fight, shes always the "right one". And that when they make up, he says it was all his fault. I honestly don't think that she is always right. I mean she just seems like shes such a bit** in the relationship and controlling. I feel badly for him. Why does he even stay with her?

I think you should take what is happening here as a life lesson...don't get involved in other people's relationships. I think you should tell your sister to keep you out of her personal affairs if it upsets you to have to deal with her drama. You are only hearing about one-side of the relationship - her account of events - and therefore it would be hard to contribute meaningful advice to her about her dating relationship or conduct. She sounds strong-willed and likes to be 'right'. If that is true then she will not wish to take any advice you give her.

reader, anonymous, writes (5 May 2010): It's normal for her to say that, since you're her sister and she's venting her feelings to you. In fact, it's normal when couples argue, for both people to feel they were the right ones at first, or they wouldn't be arguing about anything if they felt the other was right and they accepted it. Please don't let her actions annoy you to the point where you feel you should get involved and say anything to her b/f, because that would only make things worse. When you get a bit older and start getting into relationships later in life, you'll really understand why your sister and her b/f clash with each other, and why your sister feels she's right all the time. For now, just try not to judge either one of them, as they both will grow through their problems and everything will be just fine in the future, as ugly as things may appear sometimes.
