writes: I'm wondering if anyone had any advice I could give to my sister and her boyfriend. You see for the past x amount of years (not even sure how long they've been seeing each other), all they do is yell at each other. Mainly, it's my sister. Now, usually, I just ignore it, but now I just feel like getting the b**** bat and knocking some sense into them. Sure, I may have zero relationship experience, but seriously? Common sense dictates that if you are constantly yelling and angry at your supposed boyfriend then you might consider never seeing each other again. So, I ask you, what you opinion is and what advice I could give them before I become quite the b-word and do something I'll probably regret. Note: I have no intention of actually harming the two.

 They may enjoy drama and it is what keeps them together.

 I would totally leave them to it. Any interference or opinion you have is not going to be appreciated by any of them.

Because they "loooooooooooovvvvvvvvvvve" each other, it's just that each truly believes that the other HAS to "change" in order for them to be truly happy, and now that they have so much history together they're not going to just throw away the past x amount of years of their lives.
"Common sense dictates that if you are constantly yelling and angry at your supposed boyfriend then you might consider never seeing each other again."
If common sense dictated the course of relationships, then Dear Cupid would have no reason to exist.
"So, I ask you, what you opinion is and what advice I could give them before I become quite the b-word and do something I'll probably regret."
Do not say a word. Your sister will not listen, and her boyfriend will likely use your words to turn her against you, or vice versa, or both. You can't win. Don't even try. Please believe me.
If they start fighting in your presence, then say "Excuse me" and remove yourself from their presence. If they are in your home, then ask them to take their disagreement outside. That is ALL you can do to protect your own sanity.
