She brings her fiance to our house nearly everyday - she is very attached to him, wants him to see her more than his friends (they had fights about her overprotective-ness). Every evening when he comes over, and ONLY when my parents aren't home, she tells me to either go up to my room or just get out of the house. It's getting frustrating and maddening to me since I get to miss my TV shows & such.
And at the same time she would ask me if I like her fiance and if I'm warmed up to him by now. Well, since she always tell me to buzz off how am I going to know the guy? She's like a barrier. And even he isn't that much of talker - he does seem very awkward around me.
In general, she just loves to ignore me and pretend her brother doesn't exist when her man is around. But when I'm with her she starts talking with me, makes jokes (we appear like normal siblings). But when he's around, nope, I'm not there. And I don't get this.
A more realistic advice please. I don't have the budget yet. And in my culture, it's socially normal to leave home when you find someone. We don't do this very 'American' thing.

Not because she is telling me. I do it because I'm being rational. They DO NOT talk with me. I feel like a 'third wheel' when I'm around them. So I can might as well go to my room or get out (and I do that most of the time). Her fiance doesn't even talk to me too - I tried socializing with him, it ends up awkwardly or she gets in the way and wants the attention just between them two. So yeah, I guess going to my room or going out is my only option here.
I would tell her to go to her room and have sex there and quit having sex on the couch where the rest of the family sits to watch television.
Then I would follow other advice here and turn the volume up on the television until she goes away.
At your age if someone told me to "go to my room or leave my own home" sibling or not I would tell them to eff off.

I don't think so. Otherwise, your sister would have left home.
And by the way, it seems ironic that the problem you are complaining about would be solved by doing this very 'American' thing that you appear to look down on from the vantage point of your vastly superior culture.
