32-year-old woman refuses to help her sister with a house down payment, after her sister refuses to repay her a 5-year debt for wedding expenses, leading to fallout when sister insists it should've been a gift: 'Being unfair for holding it over my head'

There is nothing more special than the bond between sisters. She's the one person you'd most likely do anything for…even if that anything could get you into trouble! But hey, that's what sisters are for! However, as much as your sisters are there to support you through the highs and lows of life, is there a point when the giving runs out…?

This woman paid for her younger sister's whole wedding as neither she nor her husband could afford it then. And needless to say, it was no 'let's elope, courthouse ordeal' either! They agreed that the couple would pay her back for all the money she spent on their special day…but it's five years later and she has yet to see a cent. However, the 'who owes what' conversation was recently relit when her younger sister requested to borrow money for a down payment of their new home, which funnily equals around the same amount her sister spent on the wedding…As a sister, she agrees to help out, but only when she is paid back for the money she spent on the wedding. Fair deal? We certainly think so.

As you can imagine, this entitlement has seemed to have taken over. Instead of showing appreciation for all her older sister has done for her, this woman breaks down, claiming that the wedding payments should have been a ‘gift’ to the couple and not something that will be held over their heads for the rest of time…What part of agreeing to be refunded indicated that your sister will be paying for your wedding with no strings attached?
