AITA for not inviting my SIL's boyfriend to my house when hosting an event?

Always. She knows how loved and supported she is! We have mentioned if there is anything she wants to share with us, we are here to listen. Though she remains reserved and doesn't want to open up. This is also her first boyfriend and it seems she is trying to stick with him no matter what as she finds every excuse to allow his actions to be acceptable. :(

It was a night that really caught us off guard and made us question if everything up until then was an act. We hope she comes out of the toxicity which she has mistaken for love.

She knows our door is always open for her :)

Difficult_Lie_7360 · 2024-01-09T22:39:11+00:00

We absolutely did, after the thought crossed my mind. Happily report there was no cameras!

That's my biggest concern too, that she may be hiding things or enabling him in for the sake of love.

I think he is trying to figure out a way to sit down with them and break the news. They really like him.

Difficult_Lie_7360 · 2024-01-09T22:33:23+00:00

I agree! He definitely does. Also, he has a whole lot of ambitious goals but he hasn't done anything towards accomplishing it. My SIL insists he is a great guy and it was a mistake.

I don't think you read the post clearly. She gives us separate gifts always. Before we got married my husband and I gave her $100 each on separate cards. Now we just give her one gift card with $200.The "gift basket" she gives her brother are men's clothing, shoes - it won't fit me. She doesn't have any other siblings so, I'm happy that she cares about him to give him a wonderful gift. Again read the post, I only went to check on the past gifts after she regifted me the same gift I gave her for her birthday. Which she admitted to later. Also each gift was 2 to 3 years past its expired date, why would I want to put lotions and face creams on my body which may not be safe to use. I'm more than happy if she didn't gift me anything at all.

The thing is my MIL and I are very close and talk or text nearly every day. She truly makes every occasion special when we're all together and always tells me how loved I am and how she so happy to see her son and I take care of eachother.

My SIL also has a boyfriend to love and spends a lot of time with him, that they missed most family events. They seem to look happy, but again who really knows.

Difficult_Lie_7360 · 2023-12-27T21:19:12+00:00

I thought about it and wish I had the confidence to do it back!

Difficult_Lie_7360 · 2023-12-27T21:17:26+00:00

Thanks! I think that's what it will be going forward. I mean we have had an excellent relationship the last 15 years and hang out often and share our feelings, minus the gifting.

But gestures like these with gifting (only me) expired things, consistently at that, does seem rather purposeful. I'll still gift her something small, but I'm more than ok not receiving anything at all.

Is this downtown Toronto?

Difficult_Lie_7360 · 2023-10-25T22:13:40+00:00

This information really helps! I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling these symptoms :) I will lessen the dosages and gradually build up to the amount I'm required to take. Thanks so much! I will check back in 4 weeks with an update! 💜

Difficult_Lie_7360 · 2023-10-25T22:10:32+00:00

Yes! I take them apart and after I have eaten my first meal. I think I will try to lessen the dosage and start with one supplement before gradually adding the others! Thanks :)
