[quote=Anonymous]I was vocal about my concerns about my future sister in law to my brother, based largely on my brothers ambivalent behavior, reports of emotional abuse, and comments leading up to their engagement.

My brother disavows all of his doubts now, but I suspect SIL knows I have heard them and am not a true believer in their true love forever. SIL has now made it a point of putting him in a position to choose her over me, and I have stepped out of the way as graciously as I can.   However, my heart is full of grief.  My relationship with my brother will never be the same.   My opinion will never be seen as coming from a place of love and concern for my closest most beloved sibling- but as all of the things PP said: bratty, judgmental, negative, holier than thou.

I wish I had just nodded my head and said "I'm so happy for you" on an endless loop.   Discuss your concerns with someone else, and don't do anything to jeopardize future contact with your sister or her soon to be children.[/quote]
