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’m going to visit my SIL over Easter and I can’t wait. She’s amazing and I wish I could see her more than twice a year, I miss her for days after every time we come home.

I have a SIL who is my DHs sister but she is lovely and I will be her maid of honour in May!

I love all three of my SiLs.

I can't stand my own Sister and am NC with her. She's dreadful.

My SİL is one of the best people I know and I love her to pieces!

Both my DBs have been married before and those exes are... hmm. Well, I'm glad they're not together any more.

Both remarried and current SILs are really nice, very normal women who are easy to get on with, chatty and friendly. I don't see much of them as they don't live nearby but we always have a good time when we do meet up. I'm very grateful really. When you read of some of the things that people's in-laws say and do..!

My “main” SiL ( DBro’s wife) is absolutely lovely & a really good supportive friend. DH’s DSis lives abroad & sadly he is estranged from her. I keep in touch on Social Media & we always got on well when we were still seeing her. DH’s DBro’s wife is lovely. We only see them once a year if that but have always got on very well.

I have three SIL. I’m not sure any of them are people I would have been good friends with in different circumstances but I love them all dearly and enjoy spending time with them.

I get on really well with DH sister. My brother's wife is lovely but I don't see her often as they live 500 miles away.
With DH brothers' wives, one is lovely but the other is not. She a user and not ever very friendly. I've probably only had 2 meaningful conversations with her, having know her for several years. She only pay attention to those who she feels might be useful to her and the rest of us are largely ignored.

Of my three SILs, two are lovely (one of them is honestly like a sister to me) and and the other is/was vile. Fortunately I don't have to have anything to do with her any more now that she and my brother are divorced.

My ex sil to ex dh was fine, we got on pretty well, current sil to db, don't like her very much, we are definitely not each other's cup of tea, we have nothing in common and don't socialise at all.

My SIL and I always rubbed along fine. We parented a little differently (kids the same age) which was occasionally frustrating, but only privately. We've never had a disagreement or argument. But since my husbands death over a a decade ago, we've become much closer, and she's a great support to me. I'm glad she's in my life (and her kids turned out great too!)

Nope I despise my SIL - she has acted like the jealous ex girlfriend throughout the whole of my relationship with her brother.
Weird.

The same happened to me, it’s sad it’s had to be this way

Mine is lovely. We have a lot in common and she was always very calming and supportive when my kids were little (theirs are a bit older). She is back at work now and doing really well in her career and it’s really lovely to see.

DH is an only child so no BIL/SIL on his side, but I have one brother. I was never close with any of his ex-girlfriends (one in particular was a real horror and we all breathed a sigh of relief when she was out of the picture!)

I really like his wife though; she is great and they're well-suited. We hang out without DB and always have a good laugh.

My SIL is fab - we text most days. Even my nephews comment about how much we talk!

SIL is my DH's sister and she has previously admitted to me that if it wasn't for me she wouldn't see or speak to her brother very much - they tend to wind each other up too much!

Love my SILs and my ex SIL.

I adore my SIL. Sadly, they are divorcing. I like her better than my BIL, so it's doubly sad.

I have multiple and they are all absolutely wonderful. I consider them my own sisters.

I have a lovely ex SIL, she was my boyfriend’s sister from about twenty years ago. We’re still really close, we see each other as much as we can. We barely even mention her brother, who I see maybe every few years by chance. Me and her are the lasting couple! 😍

Oh but I also have a bitch SIL (exh’s sister) as with pp, she acted like a weird jealous ex girlfriend while we were still married. Now doesn’t contact me or the kids. Fucking weirdo.

I have 2 SIL. One is lovely and one is not. They are sisters and don't get on. I get on well with not nice SIL's daughter.

Love my SIL in fact I like her a lot better then I do my DB, we choose to spend time together and laugh a lot. Ex SIL is bloody horrible character and was nasty to me.from day one (I was warned she would be) was one of the best things about getting divorced no more SIL

My BIL recently went on a break with his girlfriend and I was gutted. I told my husband that his brother was officially demoted down the list to take our son without her.

Love my brothers long term partner.
Can't stand my husband's brother's wife.
