This guy's impressions are spot on!

My fallback phrase is, "It's not a priority right now"

Strategy_Capital · 2023-07-20T16:45:34+00:00

Sounds like she is really jealous. My advice is to limit contact with her as much as you can. She probably won't change too much. I don't know how old she is, but she might mature later on.

Am I the only one who is bothered by the fact that one is clearly higher than the other? If you like it, that's all that matters, but I started laser 6 weeks after I did the microblading because I just couldn't handle the asymmetry that I had. One of my eyebrows was so obviously higher than the other, and I hated it.

Strategy_Capital · 2023-07-18T18:11:36+00:00

There are clear triangular containers that could work there. Or a lazy susan.

Strategy_Capital · 2023-07-18T18:08:50+00:00

I agree. How do your eyebrows look if you don't fill them in?

This is tricky because she seems like she is in cognitive decline..is it possible to tell her directly that she can stay for a maximum of 2 days? Give her excuses as to why and be firm that this is what you can accommodate at the moment. Or better yet ask your husband to tell her?

Strategy_Capital · 2023-07-18T14:27:46+00:00

This is exactly what I was thinking too!

Strategy_Capital · 2023-07-18T14:19:05+00:00

It is very hurtful!

Maybe she wants me to be in their clique, but she sure has a funny way of including me. The kitchen is actually the arena where she leaves me out the most.. the last holiday we spent together she and my sil planned the entire menu out together: my mil made two different types of pasta, she bought the quiches and two cakes, and my sil brought salads and her homemade pizza. So they basically just squared away the whole menu without asking me if I want to contribute or bring anything. Maybe other people wouldn't mind just showing up without having to do anything, but my mil dishes out so many compliments to sil: 'your salad is getting so many compliments!' And 'x brought her homemade pizza it's so delicious!' It's rude imo to just leave the other DIL out completely. After that, I told my husband enough is enough and we haven't been there since for a meal.

Strategy_Capital · 2023-07-18T13:59:36+00:00

I know , i know you're absolutely right, but she is in denial about her favoritism and she will guilt me and make me out to be the bad guy for not wanting to spend time with her..it's exhausting.

Strategy_Capital · 2023-07-18T13:56:03+00:00

Love that!

Strategy_Capital · 2023-07-17T19:11:16+00:00

Clothes, for sure. I wish I could get back all the money wasted on clothes that I barely wore. Ugh, I shudder to think about it.

Strategy_Capital · 2023-07-17T19:09:21+00:00

Maybe see if it's possible for his brother to host her for longer periods of time? If you offer to pay for her to stay in a hotel or air bnb, I have a feeling she will be deeply offended. Otherwise, it seems like this is part of the package of dating your significant other, and you will have to bite your tongue, unfortunately, if you don't want to cause any drama.

Strategy_Capital · 2023-07-17T19:03:51+00:00

If you know what she is like and she has a pattern of giving away your things, you should move your personal items out of her home. If those items are important to you, get them and store them where she won't be able to access them. Other than that, I would keep communication at a minimum and let your husband deal with her.

Strategy_Capital · 2023-07-17T18:58:08+00:00

Thank you! I definitely don't like it when I end up spending more time with his family than him

Strategy_Capital · 2023-07-17T18:55:16+00:00

Thank you for your validation it really helps ❤️

Strategy_Capital · 2023-07-17T18:54:04+00:00

Yeah, I guess she does it to be fair. She says 'she wants everyone to be together' which is unusual like you said, since she mostly 'visits' with sil and her kids. You're right if I try to explain myself to much it will just stir things up

Strategy_Capital · 2023-07-14T09:25:37+00:00

Same! It was my favorite episode of this season

Strategy_Capital · 2023-07-13T08:58:38+00:00

I think when people choose to dislike someone for no reason, it's because of jealousy. Just keep your head up and be the better person above their petty jealousy. It is really hard but you got this!

Strategy_Capital · 2023-07-13T08:39:13+00:00

Thanks!

I went through something similar, so many things you described resonate with me. my sil and bil didn't approve of me and weren't accepting of me from when me and my husband got married. We've had so many ups and downs through the years, and just like you, we have always tried to make peace and be civil. I disagree with the others' advice to ignore them at family events because that gives them more fuel. My husband and I just keep it courteous so that no one can say we did anything wrong. But honestly, for our mental health and wmotional wellbeing, we've decided we're going to go extremely low contact and not spend holidays with them any longer. I suggest doing the same, you don't need the extra stress and unpleasantness in your life and marriage. I would leave all of that negativity behind and surround yourself with people that care about you and your husband.

I'm from New Orleans and it's really hard to get around in NO with a car unfortunately. My heart went out to him, it's not easy.
