AHHHHH More SIL Drama!!!

Shelley, on May 5, 2012 at 9:28 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 9

AHHHHHH where do I start??? I posted on here a few months ago about future SIL being "jealous" about our wedding. My in-laws told me that she might be jealous since she had a baby out of wedlock, and she is my FH older sister, but why take her jealousy out on us? What did we do? First we wanted her to be a BM and she complained about EVERYTHING; literally every single thing was a problem for her. My mom even offered to pay and she had a problem with that. Ok so she is not a BM so we asked her if her daughter(FH's niece) could be a flower girl( we already have 2 other FG and her daughter would be the third one); she disagreed with that. She said she is too busy with school and work; mind you she takes ONLINE classes and FH and I are both full-time students and FH also works. She has time to travel out of town for days etc etc, but she is too "busy" for her daughter to be a BM? Really?

    Does she understand that all a FG has to do is show up to the rehearsal, and throw petals down the aisle? My FH is her ONLY sibling and she can't do anything for him. She is soo selfish and on top of that she is rude. It is funny that we invited his sister to the rehearsal dinner even though she is not a BM so I don't understand how she is now too busy for her daughter to be a FG.

    FH and his sister has little to no relationship at all and she wonders why.... Why be jealous, can't we all just be happy for each other. One day she will learn...

    Thanks for "listening" ladies and gents

    Bah, no fun...wish I had some fantastic advice about how to deal with that, but I'm coming up totally empty. The good news is, venting is usually the first step to feeling SOOO much better about it! Smiley smile

    Hahaha thanks Stefanie; I just wanted to get it off my chest.

    It is just sad because this is her little brother's wedding; her only brother's wedding; her only sibling's wedding.... So sad how she is acting; but FH and I are soo happy and in love.

    I feel you pain! My DH's brother and wife, aka The Devil, caused so much crap that we no longer speak to her or him (or his mom or other brother and wife for many reasons/thing that happened before and after the wedding)

    I feel your pain. I have relatives who hate to see me happy. The best way to get along with this personality is to avoid them unless absolutely necessary. For example: you do not have to deal with her during the planning process or your ceremony. You will during photos. You won't have to deal with her during the reception, but you will have to afterwards (i.e. family gatherings, holidays)

    Let her wallow in her wretched and vile misery. Don't try to appease. She has chosen to wallow. There is nothing you and FH can do to change that.

    Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. Then will I teachtransgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.

    Psalm 51: 12 - 13

    Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak , and let come on me what will. Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand? Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.

    Job 13:13 - 15

    I feel your pain, I have one of those too. She was hoping to break us up before the big day and threw him a kick a$* Bparty two weeks before. She pulled out all the stops! Needless to say, her efforts failed and now, since she can't stand everyone bragging about how fabulous our day was, she has moved her spur of the moment wedding from "sometime next year," to July 6 or 7 (i'm not sure which) in Vegas! So looking forward to that!

    LOL New Mrs. L.

    I really don't understand what it is; but as they say " misery loves company". I will just let her be; I am great at ignoring lol. She is not worth my time anymore; we are happy and it is her loss.

    Give the girl a break. She's bitter cause she is the older sister and not married. This wedding means she's going to hear a million times flack about her own relationship status. And it really sucks to be in that spot. Also if her daughter is in it thats that many more times she will hear things like "can't you imagine her walking down teh aisle at your wedding" etc ect. My little brothers wedding made me want to kill myself. That was a year before I got married.
