[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don’t “handle” other people. What you handle is how much time and attention you are willing to give them.

Surely you can be pleasant to her and accepting of what you perceive to be as flaws for a few hours during family gatherings or holidays, OP. Beyond that, no need to make long vacation plans with her, or go out to dinner with her solo.

You can be kind without expecting to be her best friend and love absolutely everything about her.

Just like plenty of people accept what they consider to be YOUR flaws and shortcomings, OP. [/quote]

I truly wonder why people respond like this. So unnecessary. [/quote]

I like how what is “helpful” to you, OP, is people essentially telling you SIL is “just jealous” of you or she is “insecure.” That is “helpful perspective,” got it.

But if someone challenges you to remember that not everyone has to behave exactly as you want them to, and People are Different from You, and that others likely see you as flawed, that’s unhelpful.

So here you go, OP: “She’s just jealous and insecure because you are sooooo amazzzzzing!!!” Heart, star, flower, awe! [/quote]
