When siblings turn dating app recovery into unconscious competition

My sibling and I both went through messy breakups and got back on dating apps at the same time, and now we're comparing our experiences constantly but also competing in this weird way we won't acknowledge. We're supposed to be supporting each other but every conversation becomes about who's getting better matches or more dates, and we both hate that we're doing it.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Parallel healing journeys through digital dating become entangled with sibling dynamics and unspoken competition.
