I Have Anxiety

My sister in law isn't talking to me. My brain is running over every single scenario and meeting we've ever had and saying I've been rude and awful and that's the reason why. I haven't, I don't think, but I can't stop the thoughts.

She's moody and not a great person and can take offence over nothing (and we live literally on different sides of the world) but it's making me feel sick thinking what I could have done that I'm not aware of.

My husband thinks it might be because I've "taken him away from them" and she doesn't like it that he has a life of his own. I mean, she was on her phone for our whole wedding ceremony and left early and made an excuse every time we were going to meet up. She's just not a great person, but she's skinny and "successful" and has a high opinion of herself and I'm just this big pile of s***, so I suffer 😥

Your husband may be right, and if her problem is just that he has a life and family with you now, that’s on her. Not much you can do, or should be expected to do.

@bijouxbroussard I guess. It's just she's my daughter's aunt and I really try not to fall out with anyone for my family's sake. When her and my husband's sister fell out everyone just stopped talking to each other. I worry that my husband won't have his brother anymore if I try and do anything but appease her. 😥 It's a tricky one for sure.
