[b]If you are truly coming from a kind place and handling things appropriately and she still acts that way it has nothing to do with you and everything to do with her. Let it go so it doesn't affect your relationship with DH or DH relationship with his family[/b].

I really wanted to be close to SIL and we just aren't. We live on opposite sides of the country which doesn't help. It bothered me a lot in the beginning because I felt like I was really trying and being rejected. It took awhile but it doesn't bother me anymore.[/quote]

This.  Your husband recognizes it is her, not you, so harping on it won't change anything.

You could try asking him when she contacts him with logistics to tell her to contact you but that seems likely.  Much more likely is that you ask him to tell her to follow-up with a text with the details (saying that it is so he doesn't forget) and then he can simply forward the text.

You can't change her and force her to act they way you want so just try to go with the flow.  Don't let her weirdness cause you to lose your cool and antagonize her because then she'll have something she feels justifies her actions.[/quote]
