[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ll warn you now you’re about to get a lot of bad, and very confrontational advice, because that’s how DCUM rolls.

In reality I think you should accept there’s no magic formula to change her. I’d play deaf and a little dumb at the rude and biting comments. [/quote]

OP here. I have always played deaf and ignored her and focused on DH and I when we are with his family. His parents turn a blind I and do not notice or do not care. DH says his sister is mean to everyone in the family (this is mostly true) so he doesn't even notice her jibes and mean girl behavior.

So I have ignored it. She has been on my case since he brought me home. She excluded me from friendships with other extended family, gossips about be and is rude and inconsiderate to me. She will openly mock my dietary choices or lifestyle choices.

I don't respond to pass it off as a joke by laughing.

But it is awkward and it hurts. She is 30 years old! I am 34.

Aren't we too old for this?[/quote]

How can she exclude you from friendships with other family?  If they wanted to be friends with you they would. Honestly it sounds like you're trying to pin all the blame on sil but it seems multiple people in your husband's family don't like you. Your husband calls it drama. Your sil may be difficult but I'm not certain you're completely innocent either.[/quote]
