[quote=Anonymous]OP I was wondering if you were asking more personal questions which would feel intrusive but your examples are fine and low key.  Her one word answers are a little bit rude and definitely cold.

Here's the thing, you tried, its not on you to keep it socially nice.  Your SIL has a role as well.

I would not engage with her, be nice, be cordial but really she doesn't appear to be interested in communicating with you.  I would just stop, if she approaches you to talk, fine, other than that I would leave her be, I wouldn't approach her.  Really I would see it as respecting her wishes to be left alone.  Others in the family would have watched you trying over and over and over again.  If they notice you have given up, they will know why.  The thing is, she is able to communicate with others and talk about her wine etc, she is choosing not to with you.  So don't force her, just talk to others at family functions.  The only one making  this weird is your SIL.

If ever asked by SIL why you don't seem to want to talk to her I would answer honestly and say 'you gave one word replies to me, I didn't think you wanted to talk to me,  did I get that wrong'.   Leave it with your SIL she can make an effort or not but I would be done with trying with her, she has been rude and really you aren't expected to put up with that anywhere, you have a choice to walk away and go talk to someone normal, I would do that.[/quote]
