Basically, she doesn't like to hear me speak ill of her sisters even though she is.

this made me chuckle - sorta sounds like my wife an i!! we've been a couple for over 16 years (married 10+, dated for 5+) and we were friends for a few years before we started dating. in all that time together we rarely fight... maybe only 2 or 3 times over all those years.
my wife learned early in our friendship (even before we were dating) - that if she needs to vent about something and wants it fixed/resolved to come talk to me. if all she just wants is someone to listen, i'm soooo not the guy - ha! ha!
as to your problem - that's tough. part of me thinks you should talk to the older sister and try to resolve the issue - but the outcome could go either way. another part of me thinks you should just ignore it and try to not let it bug you. i know that my sister and i aren't close at all and i'm not sure what bugs my folks more - the fact that we're not close or the fact that it doesn't bother me!
