As if it isn&#8217;t bad enough that you have to meet the\u00a0<strong>friends,<\/strong>\u00a0most serious relationships demand that you become best buddies with The Family too!<br \/>\nDisclaimer: The Family (Yes, the capital letters imply a mafia style gangster quotient) will always always <em><strong>always<\/strong><\/em> side with your partner, even when s\/he is wrong.

Okay, so here goes. Siblings are the secret decision makers of the house.<br \/>\nIf they love you, they will dance to London Thumakda at your wedding. If they hate you, be prepared for a very Hum Aapke Hain Koun\u00a0<em>paapad<\/em> moment. They can sway the opinion of the elders, they can smoothly attack the relationship when you&#8217;re having a fight but only they can help you sneak in to the house to surprise him on his birthday. Basically, they&#8217;re superheroes. And we all know no one messes with superheroes to get away with it.<br \/>\nConsider yourself warned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This one&#8217;s a tough situation.
