do u think, as a sibling, its ur duty to step in if things arent going right between ur sibling and their significant other (be it bf, gf, partner or hubby/wife)?
do u think, u should help solve the problems? or its entirely between the two main parties?
Personally, I don't get involved into other people's business unless someone asks me to step in. Therefore, in my opinion, no it's not your duty but if your siblings ask for help or advice, then sure why not.
I don't like to get involved in other people's personal business esp. when it comes to relationships. I suck at giving advice when it comes to relationships! :)
But more often then not, I get involved because they ask me for advice.
I think you should stay out and they should handle things themselves. After all that's what being married is about (compromise, give n take etc) Maybe it's a good test for later?!
Only thing you can do is maybe give ur sibling advice or maybe different ways/perspectives to handle things.
Jus my 2 cents :-)
If things are quite rough then yea i would help..
but otherwise dont get involved..
never
Probably never, unless the couple is coping with a troublesome situation or ask for my advice.
I never get involved in others relationship problems unless other wise asked.
reason being : you might help / suggest some thing in good faith and when both parties get along again or vice versa they can easily put blame on to you.
depends what s the case is about :)
And yes I would step in :)
no doubt about that
stay out of it,,, unless asked.
im glad :) cus thats the advice i gave a friend
i think, regardless of how much u love ur siblings and wish to sort their problems out.. its best they do it on their own.. how else are they ever going to learn?
if its my brother's business, yes i do get involved when Im ASKED to get involved. Besides who would they go ranting and raving, if not me. Plus i keep parental units out of it so that helps as well. I try to guide them toward the solution and jus make them see the unobvious which might be missing. the decesion and actions are their's ofcourse.
^ not so much like that... if my bro or sis asked me for advice, i would be first up to give it..
what i was referring to was, if ur bro/sis is having trouble with their partner.. would u take it as ur duty to visit the partner to sort things out? without ur sibling knowing?
^^ never if not asked.
I always try 2 help others... be it a family member or a friend. I cannot stand fights and want peace!!

good... i felt really mean when i told my friend to stay out of the situation and if she really wanted to help, to talk to the sibling instead.. cus thats that the only way
I would stay out of it. Let them deal with things. If they want you or anyone else to step in, they will. :)
