I have a turbulent relationship with my sister in law to be. Which has been made worse as I provided information to social services about her best friend ( and my friend) in a child protection case .
Called in last night and she noticed a ring back on my wedding finger ( we had split up and it's taken a year for the ring to go bank on. her words were then that nice but basically tat as you can imagine could of cut the atmosphere with a knife !
She tends to be a motor mouth and was waffling on about how much hers cost and the big wedding she had and I list my temper and said that least I didn't pawn my rings the day after I kicked my husband out like you did , and continued to say and what did you buy Sam oh yes booze and magazines!

Promptly walked out after that.
This morning I've woke up to being slagged off on FB.
We share an iPad , I use it to do my study sessions on but bf has his FB on it.
This morning when I was using it his ex sends a message saying
Your sis tells me your free , do you fancy meeting up !!!

Don't see your sister in law as being the problem.

Sarahw125 · 22/04/2021 11:35

She was very negative about the engagement ring and has now told his ex that he is available again , which resulted in his ex sending a message on FB messenger this morning.

Well you both sound as bad as each other tbh.

FollowYourOwnNorthStar · 22/04/2021 11:38

I agree with @Blueberrymuffin40 I think a bit of soul searching about your own behaviour is in order here, before you going pointing any fingers.

UCOinanOCG · 22/04/2021 11:38

Seems like a lot of drama but tbh I have no idea really what happened. You both sound as bad as each other.

Aimee1987 · 22/04/2021 11:40

I'm with @jensonsacolyte on this one.

A good general rule of thumb is if you cant say anything nice dont say anything at all. You could have politely excused yourself instead of turning an offhand comment into a rather personal slagging match

I agree, a pair of 'fishwives'! No offence intended towards fishwives, whatever they are.

You are an embarrassment.

The head-teacher called, you're all in for a week of detention..

I think after 6 years of back stabbing , informing my boss about my passed ( which I'd already declared ) one little dig at her fair .

And to tell his ex he was single again is a bit low in my book

This is embarrassing, you need to look at your own behaviour before you start judging anyone else’s.

BumBurnerBum · 22/04/2021 11:58

I really don't understand what went on here.

VettiyaIruken · 22/04/2021 11:59

Why call round?
If you don't like her, don't visit her.

Grow up.
Bellyups · 22/04/2021 12:01

Oh do grow up

Blueberrymuffin40 · 22/04/2021 12:03

I'm embarrassed for you.
If this is all you've got to worry about I'd say your doing pretty well.
You don't like her and use every excuse to snipe at her I'm assuming she isn't keen on you either why don't you be the adult and ignore her. Don't be around her. Don't give her a second thought. It sounds really childish. Life is too short.

YouAreTheStorm · 22/04/2021 12:05

What's wrong with booze and magazines?

vodkaredbullgirl · 22/04/2021 12:08
Hmm
PatrickBatemann · 22/04/2021 12:28

Christ - how old are you?

PanamaPattie · 22/04/2021 12:44

😦

Sarahw125 · 22/04/2021 13:17

I called round as I've been really trying with her . She had made a comment on FB saying if any one was going to town could they get her some shopping and I offered .
I've had years of being put down etc but I've always tried with her .
I guess trying with her doesn't work

Maybe you need to move away, taking what dignity you still have, and start a new life elsewhere.

That all sounds exhausting and far too intermingled for comfort!

Sarahw125 · 22/04/2021 13:42

I wish we could I really do.
But due to both sets of parents getting on a bit , it's not an option.

OP posts:
CuriousaboutSamphire · 22/04/2021 13:44

No, not the two of you. Just you!

If he has allowed his DSis to act like that and never checked her behaviour and supported you in disengaging then he is part of your problem!

You seem to be in need of a reset!

Sarahw125 · 22/04/2021 13:50

He has told her repeatedly about her behaviour and after he told his mom last year it got better briefly .
But it's restarted.
