Do you get on with your SILs?

[ThirtyThrillionThreeTrees]

Just curious if people do?

I have 3 SILs married to my brothers (well one engaged).
I don't live close to any of them so not super close but I like them all. Just nice people, good company and I catch up with them when I'm back home and I seem them plenty even if my brothers are not around. We occasionally call/text but not regularly.

My partner's two sisters are completely indifferent to me. They aren't rude or unkind, they just make zero effort to even talk to me. If I talk to them, I get very little back. Partner just says we are very different types of people and they aren't as sociable. They are very sociable with everyone but me!

Just wondering how others get on?

Dear God, no. Technically, they are not married, but my brother has been with her for 10 years and they have a child together. She abuses my brother and thinks our family is dirt beneath her shoes. We definitely don't get along!

Don’t get on with my BIL ( thinks he’s better than he is) or the SIL.

I have 3 SILs through DH. Eldest one is civil and polite to me and I am polite back. We have little in common and I'm not very keen on her.

The other two are fab and funny and I like them both a lot. Don't live nearby so only meet up around 4 times a year, but we always get on well. Like you, we occasionally text or Whatsapp each other.

I have one unmarried brother, so no SIL there.

I’ve got 2 BIL, no SIL. We get on ‘okay’

2 SILs married to my BILs

They are ok. I only see them about once a year. Sometimes less. That's fine. More would be too much.

DBs wife of 10+ years, yes, adore her. We’re very different people but she’s lovely. We’ve kids similar ages and that binds us even closer I think.
BIL1s wife of 10+ years, so so. Rocky in the past, civil and, dare I say, almost friendly these days. She’s inclined to think she’s better than everyone else.. despite us having, materially, rather similar upbringings.
BIL2s girlfriend of 1 year ish, don’t know her all that well, but what I do know, I like. She’s a nice person, and I think she’s good for him.

No. She is toxic and abuses my brother. She doesn’t allow a relationship with his family and we haven’t seen him for years.

DH has two sisters. I love them both dearly and one of their cousins

@AylesBuck same here. She's absolutely vile. Not seen DB for 2 years.

My DH sister is awesome. Love her to bits. My DH has 2 brothers, 1 SIL is lovely, the other one is an utter bitch.

I have 3 SIL and I love them all, they’re great people who have made my brothers better people even. Very lucky I think as I hear stories through friends that are very much commonly the opposite.

I’ve got an ex-SIL (brothers ex-wife) and their divorce was a sweet relief. But the wife of Dh’s brother I like a hell of a lot - it took a while to get really close but we are there now and that makes me happy.

I’ve got 2 SILs - DH’s sister & DB’s wife. I get on really well with both of them…love their company.

On DH side- he has 1 sister who is lovely and I have always got on well with.
He has 3 brothers- 2 are long term partnered up with very different but equally crazy women but I get on really well with both. Very kind and sociable they both are. The other BIL- he is lovely but his wife is a piece of work! They live abroad so haven't seen her for 20 yrs and unlikely to again. We are all very different but when the whole family comes together (for weddings/funerals mainly) it's a blast.

BIL has a long term partner who predates my relationship so he's with her about 15 years or so. Hardly ever see her and don't have each other's numbers. Get on ok in person but only see each other maybe once a year. It's a bit disappointing really but she doesn't seem interested and we live quite far apart.

Exactly like you OP

Brother’s wife is lovely

DH’s sisters don’t seem to like me much

Brothers wife - no , she is toxic and they have a toxic relationship.

my dh’s brothers wives /partners I get on ok with. They aren’t my best friends but we check in on each other . And have good nights out together as couples.

My husband has two sisters. I will no longer see one of them due to her drinking issues. Every occasion, every dinner out, no matter what, no matter where, she gets drunk and ruins everything. She is not a bad person but I will not have that in my life. I just refuse. His other sister is pleasant enough. We get on fine but rarely see each other.

Had one for a long time and we’re not super close but we get on very well. The other is new and I loved her at first sight. She makes my brother very happy and we get on famously. Very fond of BIL too.

I’ve never met my SIL.

I can't stand my husband's sister, she's rude and looks her nose down on me. My sisters long term boyfriend is lovely though and we get on really well.

I adore DH’s sister. I don’t see her as often as I’d like but when I do it’s for a week or so at a time and then I miss her terribly for a few weeks after.

I have 3 SILs. Polite enough and civil but don't call or meet outside of big family events. I tried to get closer but it's a clash of personalities and no common interests.

Got on OK …

Until I now refuse to visit their house after their German shepherd mouths my DSs arms and SIL doesn’t do anything about it and I can’t stop the dog doing it. I’ve asked to meet somewhere else, been told I’ve upset them all and we haven’t spoken since. A real shame, but I’m not prepared to put up with that.

Seems like it's not as strange as I thought.

I supposed I'm just surprised because I always got on well with all my brothers' partners, even previous ones. 2 brothers are older, younger but there isn't much between us all age wise.

I'm only with partner 2.5 years. His sisters are about 12-15 years older than me. He is the youngest of 4 and they do fuss over him a lot.

I just find it weird. I don't think they've even got yo know me well enough to dislike ne, if that makes sense.

DH has two sisters. We do not have the same values. I am very lucky because they both live in the Antipodes.
