I've recently entered a relationship and shared details with a few people, possibly painting a positive picture because he checks all the boxes for me. Lately, my older sister, who's two years older has expressed interest in meeting him. Although I planned to introduce them, conflicting schedules got in the way. While out shopping with my sister, we ran into him, and she mentioned he smiled at her when I wasn't around. I dismissed it, thinking she might be reading too much into it.

The following day, while out with my boyfriend, he remarked that my sister seemed to be staring at him at the shops and asked if I had shown her a picture of him. I confirmed that I had, and we left it at that. During a two-week work trip to a different state, my boyfriend called and told me that my sister had contacted him and asked him not to mention it to me. When I confronted her, she claimed it was related to a job, but he insisted she was prying into our relationship. She deflected the conversation, leaving me unsure and conflicted about what to believe

Better the devil you know right , keep your enimies close and all that .
Things don't sound right with her but then well, maybe not , maybe just some weird coincidences poor judgments or whatever.
But if it was me l'd let it ride from here but be keeping a quiet eye on her nonetheless.

I forgot to mention that when I confronted her about it, she brushed it off and called my boyfriend. She told him I'm upset and questioned why he told me, also asking if he was okay with her having his number. I'm not trying to be possessive; I just don't understand why she wants to be on good terms with him without considering my feelings.

This is not about her wanting to "be on good terms" with him. This is about her wanting to put moves on him. If he doesn't want her calling him, he's going to have to tell her to stop.

Apparently, she doesn't have a bf of her own? It sounds like she's been planning to try to steal yours since before she even met him. Witchy sister. Ask her why she told your bf you were upset, when you weren't. Why is she inserting herself into your relationship and making things up about you? That's very strange behavior. Does she have a history of being envious of you?

Your sister is a busybody and gettin' up in your relationship business OR trying to get too close to your boyfriend. Either way, it's concerning and boundary-pushing behavior.

Thank about it. Why on earth would your sister not be willing to openly discuss the issue with you? That alone is telling and should be a red flag to you.

Now, you have to decide what you want to or are willing to do about. At a minimum, I'd insist on a frank conversation with her or go silent and give her some time to think about it and the cost of her behavior.

Just because she's your sister doesn't mean you should trust her.

You know your sister, we don't. Is this typical behavior for her? How has your relationship been with your sister? Drama filled, calm, close, what? Is your sister mentally ill?

I think her behavior seems strange as she's only met your bf once. If she doesn't stop calling him you might request to your bf that he doesn't take her calls or respond to her texts.

Sibling rivalry at its best.

You found an attractive bf and she wants some of that.

Your sister has no boundaries. I wouldn't trust her. Listen to your gut. Tell her to back off and never call him again for any reason.
