Hate my SIL - strong words but true

Anyone else have a really bad relationship with sister in law

mine is horrid and a event that happened a few months ago now shown her true colours and she has split the family totally but her other half just don't say anything

I cant even be in the same room as her now and see prob twice a year if that and we use to see a lot more as live about 60 miles away

always been money driven and no one can have anything she hasn't got and just hate her

aibu not seeing her as I now just don't text or go and see as makes me ill thinking of going to see her as after being there 2 minutes or when she opens the door with her slapped arse face its soo welcoming

And if text don’t get a reply or if do it’s a sarcastic one

Do you need to see her? Are you expected to attend family events with her? If you can avoid, do so. It sounds like the dislike is mutual.

no one can have anything she hasn't got

Can you explain this a bit more, do you think?

Don't see her, block her from your phone. Problem solved.

What has she actually done?

Singlenotsingle · 29/10/2019 19:48

60 miles is far enough for you not to have to see her if you don't want to.

My SIL is also like that.

It was a surprise to me but most of everyone else in the family had already seen her true colours before I came along.

People are pleasant enough to her face to face to keep the peace.
She is a drama lover and anything other than that would give her ammo to cause a scene so no one does.

It’s easy for me to say, but just try to know that its not you, it’s her and everyone will have noticed it.

Yep it’s actually good to hear family say about her aa u think it’s you but she’s just trouble with a capital t and crazily is a mum too now and has it changed her nope she’s got worse so her loss

Mine is nearly 40 with 3 kids and there’s no sign of her changing.

She’s fine with people who have less, so I can only assume it’s all about some personal issues of jealousy.

She’s be a lot happier and a lot nicer if she just looked at her lot and realised just how much she had rather than compare

My SIL & I have butted heads on occasion but ultimately rub along fairly well. It depends on exactly what she's done to make you feel this way
