Would you ever be friends with your sibling-in-laws in real life?

[Anonymous]

They are fine enough but have basically zero in common except our in-law relationship. So the answer is no.

[Anonymous]

No. She’s pleasant enough to talk to a few times a year but otherwise wouldn’t ever be friends with her.

[Anonymous]

I love and like them all! SIL’s wife is a bit much, but I like her well enough.

So the BIL you like is married to your sister? Isn’t it weird that you like him so much?

Np. Why is that weird? What are you getting at? My sister’s husband is great!

They're all very nice and fun people but also 20-30 years older than me, so I don't think we would ever be in the same circles or really gravitate towards one another in any way.

No lol.
They are all crazy right wing republicans. I have no idea how they turned out this growing in uber liberal family.
I love our nephews though.

+1. My sil and I are very good friends. I love all of my sibling's spouses (and exes).

That you’d be friends with your sister’s husband even without your sister.

This is so stupid. Why not?

No. My SIL (DH's sister) is one of the most-absorbed little twits I've ever had a misfortune of knowing. So selfish and all tied up in her own little world, I'm certain she has zero idea of how little I like her.

[Anonymous]

Definitely not.

What? How do you get that from the Pp’s post? They didn’t say whether the BIL they like is married to their sibling or whether it’s their dh’s brother or their DH’s siblings husband. It could be any of those and be their BIL.

My answer is I like all my siblings in law but probably would never have become friends w them if we met independently as we don’t have much in common.

Oddly, I would not be friends with either BIL but I’d be friends with my SILs, say, at work or something. Both are nice. Might never have run into them, but could see forging a friendship or acquaintance.

I like one of my SILs (brother's wife) because she is fun, kind, educated and a really good person. My eldest brother's wife is a horrible witch. Uniformed, poorly educated and mean. There is no relationship with her.

You missed one, PP, that the favored male sibling-in-law is married to her brother . It’s 2020.
