Romance or Family?

One of the main characters of A Streetcar Named Desire is faced with a really tough decision, whether she should be loyal to her sister or husband. I don't know the situation she is in but if I were her I would probably keep my loyalty to my sister. My sister and I are not the closest, but she is my family and deserves my loyalty. She has been there for me for my entire life and my husband would be in my life for what? A couple of years? I would take my sister's advice over my significant other's in most cases. She is older than I am and has already been through school, dating, break-ups, lies, and all that. She could give me a lot better advice on most things than a significant other. I can't really ask for advice about my significant other with my significant other. It just woulnd't work.

I believe that my sister should be trusted more than a significant other. She has never really given me any reason not to. And how much can you really trust a significant other anyway? Lots of people lie to their significants or cheat on them. You see it all the time. A significant other can be in your life for a long time or a short time but family is forever. When things get tough, a lot of times a significant other may just leave you because thats the east way out. Another thing is that things may not work out between the two of you. They may decide that they would rather be with somebody else and then who is there for you? Friends and family.
