[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous]She's nuts. You're not quite innocent yourself. Read your OP and tell me you don't drip of condescension toward her. You think she's beneath you.

I'm guessing your judgment of her comes through in your interactions. She's probably already insecure, in herself or her marriage. Knowing that you have a close bond with her H's previous girlfriend and contrast that with your attitude toward her, it feeds her insecurity.

What she's asking (and what your brother is asking) is unreasonable. You could do some introspection, though. How does she even know of your friendship with his ex? Do you flaunt it?

What would I do? I'd tell brother we're all adults and my friendship has no bearing on anyone else. I'd continue to be polite, but also kind, to her. I'd try to find some common area of interest. The rest of out of my control.  [/quote]

100% the bolded, but it's absolutely ridiculous that she even knows your friend is his ex girlfriend. [/quote]

It's not ridiculous. Think about your husband's sister's best friend: wouldn't YOU know that they'd dated before? My SIL talks about her life, I hear stories of their travels and get togethers. It would be really weird for them to hide the fact that my husband and her bff were once an item.[/quote]
