[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I could have written this. DH and I have been married for almost 25 years and we're in the same situation. His 2 sisters just aren't interested in  us. They know nothing about me except the basics.

The reason they know little about us is that they're self-centred. They never made an effort to get to know me. I've made efforts over the last 25 years but they weren't reciprocated. It's draining and demoralizing and it feels like you're hitting your head against a brick wall.

They do expect us to be interested in their lives though ... and they call us out when we're 'ignoring' them on social media!

We're all in our 50s.[/quote]

By the way, my husband is the same as yours. He doesn't want to talk to his sisters about it. He says he doesn't know what to do about it.

Don't. People who are wrapped up in themselves rarely unfold. They will never change. You should be happy that you haven't had to waste your precious time on people who don't give a single crap about you! I would strongly suggest getting off social media and resist any urge to respond to them whatsoever.[/quote]
