Question - (9 March 2011) 4 Answers - (Newest, 21 March 2011)
A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

HELP! I can NOT stand my boyfriend's sister. My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 4 years and just recently, I have started to have these negative feelings towards her. Don't get me wrong, she can be nice and very helpful when it comes to advice, but there's just something about her that makes her come off as "fake" especially since she claims she's "real". For example, she's so quick to talk about someone and run someone's business, but she will smile in their face and basically acts like she likes them. I do not trust her. If she does it to other's, she most likely will do the same thing to me, i know this. Also, She is such a drama queen, comes off as jealous (in her own little way), nosey, and a little spiteful! Her and I do not talk as much as we used to (txts, phone calls) and we are nice and civil to eachother when were in eachother's presence. How do I handle someone like this? Just keeping things as they are? like limited contact as much as possible? any other suggestions?

Honeypie agony auntKeep the chatting to a minimum, don't tell her anything you don't want throw in your face later.

You are dating her brother not her. Yet if you some time in the future marry him... she will be your SIL.

That is family for you. She doesn't have to be your best bud or BFF.

persina1982 agony aunti think u are already doing the right thing. being civil to each other is very important since she is your boyfriends sister. having problems with your mates family can be a true pain in the ass. just keep your distance and dont get involved with her too much.

I would recommend being polite all the time. Not getting involved in her business and letting pass anything she can do that will disturb you. She's your boyfriend's sister so you will keep seeing her as long as your relationship lasts. If you marry your boyfriend you will see her occasionally, so with the time you will get used to handle her.
