Would that not also apply to the SIL?

Ya, when she didn't give any reason for her feelings, I was suspicious.

I can't say I ever hated anyone in my life, but I have 3 sister in laws that I get along with fine. The forth one passed away a couple of years ago, and I disliked her, but didn't hate her.

She hurt my feelings a few times and humiliated my brother a few times in front of people. He loved her anyways, faults and all, so who am I to judge? I didn't have to live with/put up with her.

His twin brother once said to him " _____ is as ugly on the inside as she is on the outside" All of us siblings weren't too keen on her.


She had no class at all.
Even her cousin made fun of the way she used to yell at my brother when she was alive.

My SIL is about to become my EX SIL. She's nice enough. But she can't stop spending money. She worked my brother to the bone, and drained my father dry too (so long, inheritance!).
She's high-maintenance, and always has the clothing, and the make-up and hair and nails done. Guys love her, so she'll be on to her next husband quite soon, I'd imagine.
See ya!!
My brother is a charming guy. He'll find someone else soon, too.

So, OP, someone asked ...

There has never been any outright brawl or argument or anything- just tension when we are in the same room (I do everything to avoid her like the plague). That is the interesting thing. And it is mutual dislike. The brother KNOWS very well I think she's the plague and vice versa.

What has become complicating is they have 2 kids, mind you they are very adorable.

I will keep my distance.
In other words, you didn't answer at all other than to repeat how much you can't stand this person. Absolutely no reason WHY you "hate" this person that you have barely spoken to.

How can you "hate" someone you've barely spoken to? How can you refuse to give someone a chance? You DO realize that these things reflect more on YOU than they do on the object of your weird "hatred," right?

Are you male or female?

To the OP

I don't want to use the word hate but it is pretty close to accurate. My brother is an alcoholic. He had major problems until he was able to quit drinking. His first marriage failed due largely to his drinking problems.

Enter the new wife/sister-in-law. She didn't know him back then but she likes to drink wine with her dinner and some here and there throughout the nights at home. She didn't want to drink alone so encouraged him to start drinking with her, which eventually happened.

I recognize my brother is ultimately responsible for his actions but I deeply resent her sabotaging his efforts to remain sober. I don't talk to her other than forced polite replies.

Maybe you don't fully understand her situation. You antagonizing her is not helping anything.

We don't fully understand because she avoided the question... Or because she has no valid reason for her hatred.
