We gathered for a family dinner with extended relatives where tensions rose between my elder sister (29F) and youngest brother (22M).
The argument escalated when my sister made a hurtful remark about my brother's virginity, leading to a shocking revelation about her own past relationships.
"Shut up, I’m not going to argue with a 22 year old virgin."
In response to her hurtful comment, I exposed my sister's past, causing her husband to storm out after discovering the truth.
"...how she slept with well over a hundred men while she was in college..."
Now, my family is divided with blame falling on me for causing marital issues.
