[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean, the woman has never been outside of the US, not because of $$ issues but because she simply doesn't want to. Her ideal vacation is her parents' lake house. She also doesn't work and I am still not sure what she did before kids. I, on the other hand, am a working mom, I am still active in our community and I don't get tired easily :) My ideal vacation involves a lot of movement.[/quote]

I can't even answer your question because the above statement stands out so strongly. Did you realize how condescending this sounds? I can't imagine how you are with her if this is how you talk about her with strangers. Yes them asking you to end the friendship seems a little over the top but you really need to examine your part is all of this. I have very little in common with my two SILs and we get along fine. Yes they have their quirks but I do too. You are painting yourself here as "good" and your SIL as "bad" and I can't help but wonder if that comes across in your interactions with your SIL. I also wonder if your friendship with the ex-gf has created some kind of triangle that you knowingly or unknowingly exploit or flaunt, which is why there is resentment. [/quote]
