I have been married with one guy since october 2000. We had very good relationship. My hubby is very innocent and good person. Somehow his sister from day one not talking with me. Also, my sister-in-law didn't have good relation with my hubby.
Now from few days, she is talking with my hubby(not with me though) I tried to talked with her so many times. But she never talks with me. I don't know the reason. Now my hubby and his sister are good friends. When I talk with my hubby, he is saying that I beared a lot for his sis. He is saying that I have to compromise and give up. I am hurt a lot. Because of her , me and my husband fight a lot... I am loosing my interests, I don't like anything to do. I just moved to US 2 years ago. I don't have any friend to whom I can share my feeling.
Any good suggestions are most welcome.
Thanks,
Angela

You do need friends, however, or you will put too heavy emotional burden on your husband. ESL classes are a good provider of friends of all ages, origins etc. These people are in the same "boat" and they also need friends, so it's easy to make contacts. The best thing, classes should be free for you.
So you do not even have anybody to share your ideas of how horrible this country is?

Yes it hurts when you are new in some home but now I think you should be habitual.
Now from few days, she is talking with my hubby
Thats good.
But she never talks with me.
She was not talking to you before also .. so let it be in this way only.
Now my hubby and his sister are good friends.
Good
He is saying that I have to compromise
What do you want him to say? I think he must be trying himself also to compromise.
Because of her , me and my husband fight a lot...
Why you are fighting because of her?? Let them talk after all she is his sister, she has some right (if not all) over her bro.
In the end I will agree with Sameer.

The compromise is everyweekend I have to meet her, whatever she tells us, we have to listen. If we go to anywhere we have to take her, also at friends home. I don't mind to take her if she talks with me. So instead of fun, I have sit with her and bear her.

Here's another possibility: Your husband's sister is jealous of you, perhaps resents you for "stealing" her brother away from her. It sounds like your sister-in-law doesn't like you, but maybe she is too embarrassed by her own selfishness and childishness to admit the reasons. She undoubtedly loves her brother, and in her mind, you may pose a threat to the special relationship they've shared growing up as brother and sister. Nevertheless, it also seems like she's trying to drive a wedge between you and your husband, and that's got to stop.
Why was your husband and your sister's relationship strained? Is his sister younger or older than your husband? How would you describe his sister's relationship to her parents? What was your husband and his sister's relationship like before you married? Was there something unresolved between them?
Answering those questions might help you and your husband understand what your sister-in-law is thinking, and why.
Ultimately, however, he married _you_, and in terms of relationships, that means you take precedence. He's an adult, and now you and whatever children you may have together are his primary family.
I'd say, "So stick up for yourself," but sometimes the ensuing fight is not worth the trouble. Everyone knows that sometimes hanging around in-laws is a necessary evil. Having said that, though, _both_ sides should compromise, not just you.
Have a frank, candid talk with your husband about his sister's behavior, what motivates her behavior, and what effect it has on your feelings and on your marriage. You can start by telling him you want to work things out with his sister, but you don't understand why she acts the way she does, and you feel like she's interfering with your marriage. Remember, you're trying to work things out, not drive a wedge between your husband and his sister.
My father's sister (my aunt) was a real brat to my mother when my parents first married. That was almost forty years ago - my parents are still married, and everybody's been talking politely (more or less) for most of those 40 years.

Jim, u r right, from very biggning she is jealous of me. She didn't like that I had very good relations with my parents-in-law. Because of her stubberness, my parents-in-law gave up. Now they don't dare to tell her anything. Because she supports my parents in law.My husband doesn't have relations with his father. So we don't support my parents in law. So they are not living with us.
Other thing, my hubby and my sis-in-law were not close, They used to have fight when I got married. They were not talking till last month. Since last month she started talking with my husband.My husband forgot all worst past. I talked with my husband. He said that you(Angela) are nice to her. You(Angela) bare a lot from her. But he advised me that don't try to talk with her unless she try.And if she ignores you, so bare more!!!

Angela,
I can't really judge what goes wrong between you and your sister-in-law. But if you get along so badly, I don't see why you have to be forced to spend time with each other every weekend. If your husband wants to spend time with her, why does he have to drag you along? I don't think a couple has to do everything together.

Angela,
I think jim has a good handle on whats going on here. re-read his post and try to answer the questions he posed. i have had trouble in my past relationships with interfering friends. that is much similar to what you are experiencing. unfortunately in my case she believed her friends not me. sometime people try to break up a relationship for selfish reasons. i think that's what is going on here.

sometime, once in while crying is even good for health, but DAILY. No, whether you have husband OR wife... but no way daily..
You want to say just cry .. and do nothing.

Obviously, the problem still seems to be there even after a year, Go get some help, see some psychiatrist :roll:
Didn't mean to be rude, just a suggestion on getting some counselling, maybe!

Two women can never stay together, there is bound to be unhappiness. Angela is your SIL married??? ask her to get married and move to her own house , or you both come to terms.
