AITA for saying my sister crossed a line even though everyone says I’m overreacting?

I am (29F) married to my husband (30M).

We have been together for years.

I have never had reason to doubt our relationship.

I have always felt secure in our marriage.

This woman initially didn’t think anything about her sister’s feelings.

My sister (26F) is very involved in our lives.

She comes over often. She talks to my husband a lot.

She has always said how much she “feels safe” around him.

I did not think much of it until recently.

Her sister continued to be honest with her.

She told me she feels a very strong emotional connection to him.

She said she wanted to be honest with me.

She insisted she meant nothing inappropriate.

She said I should take it as a compliment that she trusts my husband so much.

Now, she thinks her sister’s behavior toward her husband isn’t appropriate.

After that conversation, I could not unsee certain things.

She seeks his validation constantly. She downplays my opinions.

She acts hurt if I interrupt their conversations or set boundaries.

I eventually told her that her behavior makes me uncomfortable.

I said I need her to respect my marriage.

Her sister got defensive, telling her she’s being insecure.

She immediately got defensive.

She said I am being insecure, controlling, and projecting my own fears onto her.

She told me that if I were more confident in myself, none of this would bother me.

When I talked to my parents, they agreed with her.

Their parents thought her sister’s emotions were harmless.

They said she was being emotionally honest.

They said I am turning something harmless into drama.

They keep reminding me that “nothing actually happened.”

They imply that I am the one creating tension in the family.

She feels uncomfortable and starts questioning herself.

Now, I am starting to question myself.

I feel uncomfortable.

Everyone around me keeps saying I am imagining things.

They say I am being unfair. AITA?
