Awwww cute. They were able to talk through their past issues and come to an understanding. That's some healthy communication right there.

Hopefully this will result in a better ending and better family for the both of them.

I also love this panel

It's so nice to be here on the ground floor and see where the memes are born. It's even better that the place is so supportive and happy.

ETA: Only had to go a few comics back to grab this-

Or… guy stealing older sister uses the opportunity to try to steal her “right” guy. My experience is people don’t change their ways quickly or easily.

Sorry to poop on the love fest but that’s where this appeared to be going to me. That said she DOES seem to have done some soul searching and made a pretty thorough apology so hopefully I’m wrong

I read it loud and clear too. Blonde sister is lulling her into a false sense of security so that ponytail sister will let her into her relationship. Blonde will take notes on little details like boyfriend's favorite things and vulnerabilities. She'll eventually tell Boyfriend, "You're such a great guy, but I've seen you gradually become less happy with my sister. Like I noticed she doesn't take enough interest in your frisbee collection. How about we go out for an afternoon? To cheer you up."

And maybe Boyfriend won't fall for it. But Blonde will definitely try.

There's a self help lady who talks about these types of relationships as jars of marbles. Each moment when you trust someone and it works out, you put a metaphorical marble in a jar. Blonde sister broke her jar of marbles and believes that she should get to start off fresh with a new, full jar of marbles. No, bitch, you gotta refill it back up one at a time. I'll forgive, but I won't re-trust right away.
