[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like this woman. We were becoming friends. SIL told her I hated her and it all became awkward. Goal? Make it less awkward and possibly repair a friendship. I do have to see this person multiple times a year and would love for it to not be awkward.[/quote]

Way to attain goal? Communicate directly with Sherry (the name I've decided to give your husband's "girlfriend" from middle school). Clear the air. "Sherry, I know things have been weirdly tense because SIL thinks that you and I don't get along. I think you're cool and am looking forward to seeing you at Christmas. We get in on the 22nd. Wanna get coffee or cocktails on the 23rd?"

I also don't understand why SIL is bringing Sherry to family events. Is it possible that THEY are in a relationship? Is it common in your H's family to bring non-relatives to small family get togethers?[/quote]

SIL is married and has a kid. In all the time I've been with DH(10 years) never has anyone besides immediate family and ine aunt been at Christmas.[/quote]

Does Sherry have a family of her own? Why is she spending holidays with your family and not hers?[/quote]
