Argument with sister....am I an arsehole or she just being a sister?

LegacyUser

Okay.
Was my first day back at work from being in hospital with glandular fever, which can cause tiredness and weakness afterwards.
At home decided to pay my sister 20euro for internet. But she wants me to pay half the phone bill. Me remembering her saying tht I only need to pay for internet. I was confused as to what was internet or line rental. Before I paid half the bill when i used it, but this month I didn't use it.
Anyway, she starts saying i want things for free. Also said she would disconnect internet and now refuses my money to pay for bill. (If she keeps phone line I can't put internet in my name) and me being irritated and tired, told her to f**k off! And that sparked her off and she threatens to move out.
I apologised straight away but she wouldn't have it. I apologised today also and offered to pay half the bill from now on, but no, she is still being distant and cold.

I am thinking that it's a bit of an over reaction because of me cursing at her, or am I actually a "pr![k"?

no big deal let the moody bitch move out all women are skitso's for three months of the year and she's probably in the middle of it.

What a stupid bitch. Get an itemised call break down and pay for the calls you made. Seeing as you were in hospital for 2 weeks, it's probably not that many. Or else tell her you're using your mobile from now on. I hate cheapskate scabbiness.

She disconnected internet? Get your own, make sure you don't tell her the WEP key and don't let her use it.

Don't apologise again. If she wants to move out let her. She's selfish and manipulative and walking all over you.

Less of the generalisations there thanks.

OP, it sounds a bit strange and difficult to understand - you live with your sister? Share the bills yeah? Did you pay half of the rent for the month you were in the hospital? Is the phone bill the calls made or is it the line rental? Phone bills include line rentals usually iirc.

If she is still being distant and cold then offer her a warm cup of tea and a chat and talk it over.

Get broadband which does not need the phone line.

Give it a couple of days and try to talk to her.

It sounds like she has some things on her mind as it probably was a bit of an over reaction.

Maybe while you were in hospital she enjoyed her privacy, maybe the house was cleaner who knows, maybe she broke up with her boyfriend, maybe she wants to move in with him but is afraid to break it to you, maybe she is broke. COuld be anything, but i doubt its just the phone bill.

Ask her. Not about the bills. Ask her about her.

I'm kind of confused about the situation. But as regards to the line above, if you were in hospital for the month you should still pay the bill. If you go away on holidays for two weeks you would still pay your share of the rent/bills etc.

fyi line rental from eircom runs about €25 and change a month
