No. They're nice, but we don't have anything in common.

I would say the same of my own sibling, actually: great person but very different. We mostly talk about our parents.

I love my SIL. She’s nicer to me than my sisters or brother.

My BIL is a self centered jerk.

I am. So are my parents. My dad passed away a couple of years ago, and they were all dear friends. Sister's ILS and I get along, though I have to say, right now they are buying into conspiracy theories... but they are in Europe, so no issue until I see them. And then I avoid that topic.

So the BIL you like is married to your sister? Isn’t it weird that you like him so much?

I only have one sibling, but he picked a wonderful wife. I love her dearly and she is an amazing mother to my nephew.

Two of my ILs (one SIL and one BIL - absolutely! I would be friends with them if they weren’t connected.

My SIL and I would never be friends. We had a hard time getting alone for a LONG time. I used to leave their house and cry on my way home.

We've come a long way and get along now, but we're very different people. We have few overlapping commonalities.

I would, but more like the kind of friends you have when your kids are in the same class at school. We don't have enough in common to really be true personal friends.

I have two SIL. One I would absolutely hang out with if she weren't married to my brother. We have a lot in common, such as our jobs and hobbies. She's great.

My other SIL...not so much. We have nothing in common and she makes no attempt to communicate with me or with other SIL. When she is in the same room as us, she stares at her phone and gives monosyllable responses. She's made it pretty clear she doesn't like us.

BIL yes, SIL, no. She very “enlightened” and has to constantly educate us dummies.

Or do you simply tolerate them because you're married into the family?
