[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Remember - he married YOU.  He is your husband, they are your family.  She is no more than an acquaintance.

If they want to get their hair done or whatever by her.. well, that's what they are going to do.

Next time, remember - this is YOUR family.  Be polite as you would to anyone else.  She's just an acquaintance. :)  Nothing more, nothing less.

Is this a small town?[/quote]

This is important to remember, its not a competition- she probably is happy in her own life and not looking for a competition either!

Even if she is a close friend, and not just acquaintance, of one of DH sisters- that relationship is just totally not based on your DH and her dating many moons ago. Its evolved and the friendship exists in its own right and has nothing to do with your DH and I'm sure that even though they recognize that's how they started out, its not the focus of their involvement now I am sure.  Its just ancient history I am sure in their heads.

Try to think of her not as his "ex" but just SIL friend when you see her because the reality is, that is much more of what her identity is WRT your family.[/quote]
