To ask if anyone has a great relationship with their SIL

[Selenaso]

My relationship with my SIL has always been tricky. Whenever I see posts about SILs on here it’s always about something negative (though this is AIBU, after all, so probably shouldn’t be a surprise). AIBU to ask if anyone here has a really good relationship with their SIL, and is glad their sibling married them so this excellent person has been brought into their life? It’d be nice to hear some positive stories and think it’s possible…

YABU - my SIL is a demon
YANBU - my SIL is great and a mate

I have 2 SIL and they’re both amazing, I adore them

I have many SILs from my husband's side and my side of the family. I have to say I get on well with them all. They're all lovely people. A couple of DH's sisters are a bit intense but fine in small doses and we get along very well.

I do. I love my kid brother's wife and we get on really well. I have no children but have taken a great interest in their two daughters' lives and SIL has welcomed me warmly.

My SIL is lovely.
My BIL is not

Yes while we were married. Not a dicky bird since the divorce. I sent birthday and Christmas cards to her and her family but nothing came back so I gave up. To be honest I didn't expect we would stay friends, what with family loyalty to her brother.

I’ve got two normal, one rather pompous intellectual snob, one neurotic martyr, one try-too-hard and one evil, twisted, certifiably insane ex.

My SIL (ex-husband's sister) is one of the nicest people I have ever met and even 12 years after I divorced her brother- we're still close

I would say I have a good relationship with my SIL. She lives abroad so I don’t see her as often as I’d like, but I have a great deal of respect for her. I think it helps that I also get on well with my MIL, so there’s no friction coming from there. I admit I have been fortunate with my PIL in general. Obviously they aren’t perfect and neither am I, but they are kind and I trust them implicitly.

I have four SIL. These women have been part of my life for more than half of it and I love them all.

I have 2. They are nice women but we don't live near to each other so don't see each other regularly. Nor do we have much in common, beyond the family link. We get on fine when we meet but I wouldn't describe us as friends or close.

Yes I do...she's more of a sister than my actual sister to be honest 🤷‍♀️

Mines a narcissistic twat 🤣

Neither really.

We don't have much in common, don't socialise but we get on ok. She makes my dbruv happy which is all that is really important.

Neither option for me - I do like both my SILs and we get on but wouldn't describe us as mates.

My DH has two brothers, one of their wives is one of my best friends, they live a few hours away and we meet up a couple of times a year either all together, or she and I for a few days, the other SIL is more local and we have no relationship at all, very different people and I am ok with that, polite at family gatherings, no contact outside that.

I got on great with my brothers ex wife. They had a bad break up and now don't speak therefore I don't. Awkward circumstances. But when they were together sil and I would meet up without brother.

I'm fine with dhs sister. We aren't close and don't see each other regularly, but she is a good person and we've never had a crossed word.

I have a great relationship with both my sils. Feel really lucky that they are both so awesome! Sometimes I'd rather spend time with them than my own family 😂

I have five and two I consider friends. One I hate and the other two are ok, I only see them about every 18 months.

I left my ex husband and I’m closer than ever with my sil. She is absolutely fantastic and even though my baby isn’t her brothers she’s always including her in everything. We didn’t always have a great relationship when I was with her brother though.

I’ve got three, they’re all fabulous in their own way & great for my brothers, but I have to admit one of them is extra great, she is huge fun and really lights up every family occasion (we’re naturally quite a reserved bunch and she’s just full of silly fun), we’d be a bit lost without her tbh!

My brother’s wife is absolutely lovely, we really get on well.
DH’s brother’s wife…. Well let’s just say I wouldn’t be sorry if she got hit by a bus.

My SIL is lovely, she spends a lot of time with my family, and every year we have a family holiday (separate accommodation though). Her relationship with her mum is tricky though, as with her brother, so I think she feels more at home in our family - my parents are supportive, not demanding and very easy to get on with.

I've got 2 SILs and 2 ex-SILs all of whom I'm close with. In fact, I'm going out with one of my ex-SILs tonight

My SIL is a wannabe "influencer". We manage to get along fine the 2-3 times a year we see each other but we'll never be close, we have nothing in common.

I've 3 sisters in law and we all get along fine. We aren't best friends but we are friendly and cordial. One has annoyed me a few times in the past but it's not worth holding onto as part of the bigger picture of us all bobbling along together. We are all civil and polite.
