Without going into details, my sister-in-law (my husband’s brother’s second wife) and I used to get along, but over the last year or so things really deteriorated. I don’t know why exactly, but she became very judgmental and critical of me and rude. We are quite different, she doesn’t approve of my carefree independent lifestyle, she thinks I should just stay home and have babies and no life outside of her husband and kid like her. Long story short, today she accused me of something I didn’t do, instead of speaking to me when it happened (I was unaware of it) de just assumed the worst. Luckily my husband stood by me, but now it’s a situation where my sister-in-law and I are not speaking, and I don’t know if we ever will again. I can never forgive her or trust her again. The problem is that she is our nephew’s mom, and I want my husband to still be able to see his brother and nephews. Plus, it’s inevitable that I will have to see her at family holidays and such. Has anyone else been in this situation? Any advice for me going forward?

I should also mention that my sister-in-law is extremely nosy as well. She obsesses and analyzes every little thing I say or do on social media, and tries to use it against me. Whenever I talk to her I feel like I’m being interrogated.
Add her to a list of people who can't see what you post on social media. When you have to deal with her at family functions, fake smile and deal with it, otherwise, avoid her until and unless she's willing to size. Your husband can still see his brother and niece without you and his wife hanging out
