[quote=Anonymous]I am a SIL to my brother’s wife. I do have conversations with her but when she calls or tries to talk when we are together it is always more of a chore to me. She is ok but not someone I would befriend or someone I like as a person, I guess that’s why. I am more of a people pleaser so I do talk to her when she does, but I don’t contact her first unless I need her input when planning something. I think if I were less of a people pleaser I would talk to her even less. If you are planning to see her around the holidays - let your H do the talking to her and just engage with other people. It’s not great but you aren’t truly family from her POV - no need to invest much effort. It’s not because she doesn’t like you but rather because family by marriage usually feels pretty foreign (it’s a chore for me to talk to ex in laws as well). Some people are better and more gracious at doing chores than others. [/quote]
