I only told her to show me some respect.

Question

My 18 yrs old sister-in law has been quite rude to me in front of people and i didn't have the gut to reply back in front of people. Yesterday we went to a wedding reception, we were dancing in front of various relatives and friends when i got a call. When i came back i went to her without noticing that she was dancing with a bloke. I asked the guy to excuse me for disturbing them in a joke... when she replied "AS USUAL" quite loudly. I kept my calm, although i was quite annoyed by the reply... i left em, but THIS morning she came to see me upstairs i wanted to clear things out. Told her what she did was a complete lack of respect and voiced out my problems with her which left her quite surprised, when i came down, my mother in law and her sister were looking at me differently...i am sure that she must have made a mess of the situation and i guess that the situation wld be quite bad when i will get back home tonight.

my question is, how can i face all that even if i know was right in doing when i did...i can't help but be a bit afraid of facing all these s***.

Answer 1

Tell you what,If you really Love your Husband,And He Loves You

Thats all that Matters,And if Idiots Like Them Are Gonna Get in the Way,Then Tell Him How You Feel And If He Loves You He'll Have A word

Maybe Its Jelousy,or They Might Think They Will Lose Him

Answer 2

You should still respect her despite of her wrong doings. Confronting her by voicing out what you felt and listening to her explaination are the best solutions. You shouldnt be afraid to face this situation coz all you know you only did what was right after all.  

Answer 3

you both  need to sit down and have it out once and for all...and both agree to give each other the respect that you would expect to get yourself.  

Answer 4

It's understandable that you're afraid, no one likes confrontation. But you have every right to stand up for yourself.

No matter how thin you slice the cheese, there are always two sides. If your mother-in-law doesn't listen to your side before passing judgement, then there's a bigger issue than just your sister-in-law being a *****.

Perhaps try sitting down with your sister-in-law, ask about how she speaks to you and why. She could be jealous, that you've found the love of your life and she hasn't?

Good luck. x
