[quote=Anonymous]You chose your husband not your SIL. And you are in no way obligated to suffer her presence beyond obligatory family functions and the like. You can either take a direct or non direct way of maintaining your boundaries. The direct route would be to let her know you don't mind a relationship with her but the following behavior is out of bounds because you find it offensive. Then lay down the law. Let her know that if she can respect you, your choices, etc...you can move forward. If not, then it's best you guys keep a cordial and distant relationship. The indirect route is to continue to put her off by just not having time to meet one on one. You can hope she she takes the hint. Personally, I'm always a fan if directness in these situations. Usually the person isn't used to being called out on their behavior. They either are shocked into acting better or pout and pull away. [/quote]
