my sister in law owes me all sorts of apologies and until she owns up to her wrongdoing I just dont want to deal with her. I pretty much wanna tell her I feel fake being cordial to her. AHHHHHH I really dont know what to do.
(if you have time and care to know specifics see my questioned asked and about a week ago I asked a question regarding my sister in law.... that question has loads of background)

I'd just straight up tell her that you and her just aren't clicking anymore. That with her personality of being like she is, and doing or saying things that you feel she should apologize for and she obviously doesn't, that she's just not the type of person you would like to be friends with. Maybe not saying the friends bit, but maybe saying she's not the type of person that will click with your friends or not the type of person you can hang out with and really be best friends with. That sounds gentler, don't you think? Or if you can't do that, then just gradually wean her out of your life. Like not answering the door when you're home and making a lousy excuse, like in the shower etc. I know it sounds mean to do that as opposed to out right saying it, but I know some people find it hard to be straight to others because they're so nice all the time. Quit answering the phone when she calls. Just little things that you know she'll pick up on. Or being super busy around the house when she comes over, and when you do talk to her, make it an icy conversation, just yes, no, maybe, and just look at her like she's stupid for even talking to you. LOL Should do it.

Hello, If your sister-in-law dosen't understand why you are being cool & busy towards & her I would just tell her the truth as too why. Not all people get along but you can be civil to each other. But, tell her in a gentle & kind way. If you have a valid reason like she is runing your marriage. Then you must simply cut her off. I had a sister-in-law like that & I just refused to be in contact with her, except for 1 time a year. Xmas. Then I did it for their parents. Of course you could divorce your husband. That usually stops all problems with the out-laws. Chris

There is no law that says you MUST be friends with your sister in law.
