She’s into big family gatherings, likes to play hostess and doesn’t have to entertain the kids as much if cousins are around.
Her husband’s sister is a jerk. Not only did she pull this crap, she has yet to apologize instead trying to minimize her brother, OP’s feelings and then trying to claim misunderstandings and then rationalization. OP and sister will have a good time, OPs husband will have a crappy time.
Incredible psychoanalysis, Dr. Freud! Danke Schoen!
How ever did anyone get through life without your baseless diagnoses before?
You don't know the OP, and you have less than ZERO clue of what type of person she really is.
It seems you're projecting a bit too much here (or you're putting that associates degree in psychology from University of Phoenix to g̶o̶o̶d̶ ridiculous use here).
Her story really triggered you, huh?
Thankfully, OP isn't a bitter, impulsive, irrational & hate filled person, because resorting to burning bridges as a manor of resolving emotions for feeling wronged, maltreated or taken anywhere of (rather than having a mature conversation, which may include creating appropriate boundaries, constraints, limitations or restrictions) is what emotionally stunted people do, who don't have the intellectual resources, capabilities, competence or wherewithal, to do the work to get through such ordeals, while befitting in keeping the bonds tight).
What the "difficult" personality does instead, is goes through life cutting off, cutting out and burning bridges, no matter who else it affects... as long as they feel better, so be it.
We certainly can't have BIL & SIL feeling like they "won" right? Or that they got off the hook without receiving their 20 full lashes across their backs??
"Giving" in like OP is doing is weak, weak, weak and that would be a fate worse than death, right??
What an awful way to manage life (apologies... rather, NOT-manage-life) and a far worse example to set/pattern for your children.
Oh, see... that WAS fun!
Of course, you don't need to be a psychiatrist to figure the difficult personality out, it's so simple... it's basic common sense.
