Hello, I would like to see what you’ll think about my situation and the best way to deal with it.
I have been a part of my now-husband’s life for the past 2 years. We married and have lived together for 2 years now.He has a younger sister, divorcee with 2 kids. The sister continuously asks my husband for help with the kids – she’ll call on our day off and ask to pick up the kids from school, or drive them to swim classes, always just so happens that she needs his help just on our day off together.
I have told my husband that it’s important for me that we spend this one day a week together, with no interruptions, be it on running errands together, or going on an adventure, but while we do not have our own kids, I want to enjoy our relationship.
He has not confronted his sister about this at all. Continued to help her as much as his schedule allowed him to.
Finally I broke, and I confronted her. I just wanted her to realize how she is abusing our time off, our relationship has taken a toll because of her, we have argued multiple times about her and how she always needs help. My confrontation now turned into her calling me out on all of my issues, and what she truly thinks of me (which is all very negative, things nobody wants to hear from their worst enemy, things that I don’t agree with and some of them seem to be made up, but that is not my point).
Now we are in the middle of planning our church wedding, the big reception, planning to buy a house, a new beginning to our life together. How do I continue to fit into his family, when his sister ignores and hates me, my husband will not take sides so he stays quiet and hopes it will blow over.
How do I continue to plan our wedding, and face my “sister in law”?
