My sister in law (brothers wife), well I guess I should say ex since my brother announced a couple of days after christmas that they were splitting up
anyway, I was never particularly fond of her - at first I thought youāre pleasant enough, harmless and we did bond over both liking Taylor Swift but sheās actually younger than me and just seemed the complete opposite of what I expected my brother to end up with to be honest. Sheās American and she was always very loud and I just always felt like she made my brother act *different* but like his entire personality changed. I wasnāt the only person who picked up on it and was unsure on her, my boyfriend had, my mum was always a bit unsure and when my dad was alive he used to come in and tell me (and my boyfriend at times) that she was a bit weird (he never ever said this about my boyfriend). Well Iām particularly glad theyāre splitting as my brother always wanted to move back home and live in Liverpool and she didnāt which I always knew was going to be a problem. I think a lot of the problems between them have stemmed from her and of course my brother, but I mean their last argument they day he announced their split was literally that my brother had locked himself out taking the rubbish out and had to wake her at 10.30am
Sheās on a spousal visa and I believe sheās not meant to change visa or get citizenship till later this year. My brothers said heās not going to stand in her way if thatās what she wantsā¦
She doesnāt have a relationship with her mum whose in LA anymore, I donāt know what else sheād have here if she stays.
My future SIL (my boyfriends sister) is great and I adore the bones of her but always has some sort of drama since her teenage years. Sheās 24 and we get on so well and I know she sees me as a sister and vice versa, we are very similar in so many ways and my boyfriend is her favourite sibling so I know that plays a big part as whenever we go down south she always wants to see us and sheās desperate for us to be back living there - I also know how I am her favourite SIL like for example I am the only girlfriend of her brothers she buys presents for hahaha. She also gave me my gorgeous baby nephew and I organized her whole baby shower for her too!
The only main problem is my boyfriend and I both feel she takes advantage of her Mum/my MIL, and I know because my MIL has said this before is that she has the relationship with me that she doesnāt always get with her daughter which I really feel for my MIL with. But she certainly takes advantage of her kindness and dumps our nephew on her and has always expected for MIL to drop things at a drop of a hat when sheās been in trouble (many, many, times before the baby too). Nobodies perfect hey? Iām grateful though to have her! xx
