[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So...don't text. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Or invite him to dinner to catch up.

If you've failed to properly acknowledge her/build bridges with her, that may be a problem. They are together now; they have a life together now. Have you honored that?

If not, start small. Send them BOTH an e-mail or a text; invite them BOTH to dinner.

When I text her she won't respond. When I text her/call her to invite them both she replies with "I dont know, as your brother" she's even answered his phone so I don't know who I'm going to get.[/quote]

So what caused this? She doesn't respond if you text her, but replies for him if you go to him directly? Did you bad mouth her at any time?  Did you say something to offend her? [/quote]

OK...it could be that she is 100% wrong and crazy. Or it could be that YOU are 100% wrong and crazy and really are over-stepping a lot, trying to be closer to him than is typical and that he would actually want.

Most likely, it's somewhere in the middle. Can you be honest about YOUR part in this? Can you see where YOU have expected too much of him, and where you may have shut her out?

The title of your thread alone speaks volumes. I would NEVER be jealous of my brother's romantic relationship. I don't want to be the closest woman in his life. I WANT him to have his own life, and someone special to share it with and to prioritize.
I'm always nice to her. She likes to argue so I just don't engage. If she's arguing I leave or sit there quietly. She says I'm trying to be incestuous with my brother because I want to spend time with him one on one. She doesn't like any females in his life except their daughter.[/quote][/quote]

I'm not jealous. She is. She hates him spending time with any other women. My mother included.[/quote]

OP, the more you post, the less you'll have anyone on your side. You sound jealous as hell and a bit unhinged. No wonder your SIL doesn't want her hubby around you. [/quote]
