[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP it comes down to this simple point- You are not nice and/or appear to have very little interest in your SIL but maintain what seems to be a very delightful one with the Ex. It stings. If you don't want to discontinue the relationship with the Ex, try to at least appear to attempt to make your chilly relationship with your SIL a little warmer.  [/quote]

Look, we have a cordial (or so I thought) relationship with SIL. We are not mean to each other, we don't hang out with each other, it's always been like that. [b]When we meet at family functions, there is little for us to talk about other than the kids and THAT'S OK. [/b]Do I really have to pick and choose friends at my age? [/quote]

DP. I have a really hard time understanding how you can't possibly come up with ANYTHING else to talk about with this woman other than the kids. Do you even try to talk to her about other things? Have you tried to get to know her at all?

It truly sounds like you make no effort with your SIL - clearly because you think she's beneath you since she doesn't share your worldly interests - yet you maintain a good friendship with the ex. Your brother and SIL cannot dictate who you can be friends with, but consider the optics here. Perhaps it a bit more understandable why your SIL is bothered. [/quote]
