Future sister in-law bridesmaid

Mrsn2020, on December 19, 2019 at 2:03 AM Posted in Family and Relationships 1 4
So one of my future sister in-laws is stressing me out.

She is a bridesmaid. I always thought we were on friendly and on good terms and she seemed genuinely excited when my fiancé proposed so I expected her to be more involved in the planning or at the very least not be difficult with wedding stuff.
My number one complaint is that she won't respond to any of my texts about the wedding. Bachelorette, buying the bridesmaid dress, etc. I have to ask my fiancé to follow up with her. And she replys to him immediately! She declined to go to the bachelorette (which is also mildly annoying but it's fine) but wouldn't respond to me or my MOH planning it. My fiancé had to ask and then she told him no. She never followed up with me either, no mention of declining the bachelorette. She did it again for the dress. I messaged her to buy the dress today because it is selling out. No response. I had to beg my fiancé to keep bothering her until she bought the dress! She even asked him about accessories. But still not a single message to me. (She also tried to buy the dress from a different website instead of Amazon because it was $5 cheaper. I told him to tell her that she can't do that in case the dresses aren't a true match)
Am I being too sensitive? Am I asking for too much? I don't want my fiancé to have to be our liaison but that's the way it's starting to look like it's going to have to be..

    I’d be frustrated too!! Too bad we can’t screen our bridesmaids lol. Like the #1 question... will you reply to communication in a reasonable timeframe. And will you engage (and show some excitement) just a little lol. Well at least she has the dress. As long as she shows up to the wedding you should be good!! I wouldn’t take her passive aggressive style personally- now you know not to rely on her in the future. Good luck!!

    I would honestly try to meet up with her one day and to sit down and ask what's going on. I just say that anytime that I messaged you about anything you don't respond to me that your brother does and you will respond quickly. And I would ask her is there something that I did wrong or if there's something that we need to resolve? I think that's going to be the bigger issue because she's going to be your sister-in-law and you want to make sure that you two are on good terms.

    Lol yes! I wish I could have bridesmaid minimum requirements without sounding like a crazy bridezilla.
    The final hurdle will be getting her to the rehearsal lol. Thanks for the luck, I'm going to need it

    Oh heck no! Have an open conversation with this girl and your partner. Maybe include him in the full conversation. Don't go in accusing, maybe just say "Hey is there a better way to communicate with you because it seems my messages get missed" or something like that. Ask your partner if she's ever been like this before? Maybe your FMIL? Don't let anyone make you unhappy about this special time!
