What's your relationship like with your sister in law?

[Flora838383]

As in husband's brothers wife?

It's polite but not close as we have a language barrier. DHs family speak a different language and some broken English so we get by on basic niceties when we visit 3/4 times a year.

Don't have much of a relationship with my husband's sister.
Their family is not really interested in being together much. Didn't come to a big birthday party of mine because of sport and let us down a few times.
I don't bother now. Also lives in a super posh area and is a bit too money orientated. Not my scene tbh.

My DH has 4 sisters and I get on well with all.

She's nice enough but we don't have much in common, and my husband and his brother don't get on so we only really see them at family gatherings.

We've always got on, but have become good friends since MIL died a few years ago. (I think when MIL was alive, the sibling rivalry between DH and BIL made relations a little strained across all of us). She's very generous with her time, dependable, fun, a brilliant aunt to our DC and an all-round good sort. I love her.

With both my sils we are friendly and civil when we see each other at family events etc but beyond that we don’t speak to each other I don’t even have their numbers.

Love mine x

Really close to one of my DB's wife. We've known each other for best part of 30 years (she's been with my brother for most of that time) but I'd count her as a dear friend and we speak almost daily.

Not close to other brothers wife - she is much younger and we don't have much in common but we message about the kids and see each other a few times a month in the wider family circle. This SIL is quite close to the SIL I mention above but they live almost next door to each other and have a hobby in common.

I am close the both my Brothers wife (I say wife … but they aren’t married after 25 years)and my husbands sister. They are like 3 extra sisters for me. I see my husbands sister, more than my husband does

She's lovely, but due to distance I've met her 3 times in the 10 years I've been with DH. We get on fine when we see eachother though. We're very different so probably would never be best friends, but we can chat along happily for a couple days.

My OH is the youngest of three brothers.

Oldest brother's wife is fab, I really enjoy hanging out with her and the four of us have a great friendship group.

Middle brother is a PITA and so is his wife, wouldn't be terribly upset if I never saw them again.

Dh has 3 sisters - all lovely, one is now one of my best friends. His 4 brothers have had quite a few partners, all have relatively new partners now. 2 are quite young, although nice, one I barely know and the other I don't know well but seems lovely and makes an effort. I have 3 brothers, one wife I have nothing in common with, another is nice but we aren't what I would consider friends but we get on well enough and my youngest brother's wife is great, has become a close friend.
I've never really had any problems with any of them.

Mine can't stand me. I honestly have no idea why.

We were really close and one day she phoned me up ranting I couldn't believe it and asked what had I done (genuinely couldn't think of a single thing!) I was told "if you don't know then I'm not going to tell you !" Honestly over a decade later. I don't know and she didn't tell me.

We are civil to each other.

It's really sad we were very close and I have no idea what I have done to this day
