Sister doesn’t like DH

I’m just venting a little really, my husband is absolutely lovely, has treated me so kindly from the moment we met, has never messed me around, works incredibly hard to provide for me and our little family and he makes me really happy. Anyone who meets him would say he is just one of those nice blocks! But… my sister just doesn’t like him and it really upsets me. I know she has bad mouthed him to her friends, as I have heard them commenting, it’s like she has a completely different narrative of who he is and I don’t know where it’s come from! Everything is twisted eg) he goes out for a drink with mates turns into oh he’s left you alone at home to go out on the lash and get drunk has he? A walking trip to the lakes turns into oh so he’d rather spend time with his mates then you, he never puts you first etc. no matter how much a try to defend him or tell her otherwise. I’m just wondering how I can bridge this gap?

Roll your eyes, laugh, change the subject. No point wasting energy on changing her mind, she's attached to her version for whatever reason.

You can't really bridge it to be honest.

She doesn't like him and she's allowed not to.

I dislike one of my friend's husbands because as much as she adores him, she just cant see he's a bit of a selfish prick.

Maybe she feels the same and you clearly don't.

Is she single? In a bad relationship or had previous bad relationships? Who knows but she’s most likely just jealous.

One of my best friends married a complete and utter arsehole.
We ALL disliked him - couldn’t STAND him, didn’t like being around him because he was loud, rude, embarrassing and just terrible awful horrible. He harassed everyone, felt up servers in restaurants and thought it was hilarious, touched me inappropriately, made lewd remarks - just an all-around horrible person.
But I love her. I adore her.
I don’t know why she’d marry someone with zero redeeming qualities but she did.
They kept moving - he kept changing jobs, I suspect he kept getting fired but I don’t know.
I heard a few months ago that he died.
I feel bad for my friend, terrible actually, but I’m glad he’s gone.
I suppose that makes me a terrible person too.
