When family members become confidants about relationship intimacy

My sister and her husband have been sexless for years and she keeps asking me for advice but I'm running out of things to say and starting to feel like I'm being pulled into their marriage in ways that aren't healthy. I want to support her but I also feel like I'm becoming a substitute for the conversations she should be having with him.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The boundary between support and enmeshment can blur when someone repeatedly seeks counsel about their most intimate struggles.
