[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  here are some examples of the behavior.

Me - Hi SIL, how is Larla liking school this year?
Her - Good.  No other follow up.

Me - Hi SIL, I just overheard you talking about this great wine you had recently. What's the name of it?
Her - I don't remember.

Me - Hi SIL, how is Larlo's new job going?
Her - Great. no other follow up.

Me - Little Larla had a great time at this park. If you are looking for something to do with your Larla, it's a great spot.
Her -Oh

Not every conversation is like this, but a majority.  It just feels like it is a strain to get an answer other than a blow off. In social situations with others she is very talkative and engaging but not with me. She doesn't ask how I am doing or any real follow up questions. She doesnt initiate social outings with just us. I have asked her and she's always been busy.

I've tried reciprocating the behavior a long time ago and things got significantly worse. She flat out ignored me and my husband doesn't press the issue, so just leaves me on that branch by myself and ignores it. He won't address it which is his fault. I think he is afraid he will be iced out too. He is a social pleaser to a fault, especially when it comes to family.  
I would say low self esteem on my part plays a roll here.  It bothers me she doesnt like me no matter what I do. It bothers me it's my husbands family mean girling me. I don't want to be embarrassed by her ignoring me in social situations. I just want to stop letting this live rent free in my head. [/quote]

She sounds very immature, like a sulky 13 year old.[/quote]
