Analog, you're saying her sister should ignore what's happening? That's a very strange attitude to me. Do you have siblings? Whether the twit is a minor or 80yrs old matters not. As a spouse, I'd be backing and suggesting whatever I'm able. Sure, there are limits. I won't quit my job. It may not be received well, and there's always a time to let the girl/woman work on herself. But people often do need help. Even if it's just the message that people are there if/when she wants them.
Get engaged. Society is full of otherwise wonderful folk sitting on the sidelines.
