My hubby and I met online. We talked for about a year before we met in person. When we met things were great and we married 11 months later. Now my SIL who was very supportive at the beginning has changed. She says she doesn't support our marriage and doesn't understand how people who met on the internet can go on to have a successful marriage. She stays at home with her 2 children all day while her hubby works hard. She claims she is "homeschooling" her children, but I think she is just too nosy and has too much time on her hands. I told her to stop doing this crap to us. She left us alone for a little while but now she wants to talk to us again. What should I do?

Try talking to her and find out what made her change her point of view so suddenly. If you are not willing to do than then I would just be blunt and tell her to back off and leave the two of you alone if she cannot be supportive of you. Your relationship is your business, not hers and maybe reminding her of that will help. I met my wife on the internet just by chance and we have a very happy life together. It doesn't really matter how or where you meet someone, but what you make of that relationship. If you and your hubby are happy then don't worry about your SIL. You might try getting your hubby to talk with his sister if you don't feel that it is your place to say anything. Good Luck

Stay as far away from this b..ch as possible. "Doesn't support your marriage?" Are you kidding me? Who the HELL is she to have any kind of say in this?
I'm sure she's going to do a great job home schooling those children. They will grow up to be a idiotic as her.
Steer clear. There are positive and negative people in life, this is an example of the latter. She will do nothing positive for your life, so keep her out of it.

Maybe you should talk to her. Tell her that it doesn't matter that you and her brother met online and that all that matters is that you love each other. My best friend's mom and stepdad met online. And they have a great marriage. You shouldn't let your husband's family put you down. Just tell her to let you live your life and it's not her choice who her brother marries.

Tell her to mind her damn business...you are ADULTS & if she doesn't like the way you met her brother, then that's too bad. I met my husband online as well & had a similar problem. I know from first hand experience.

I think that your SIL is feeling overwhelmed by her own life and therefore wants to run yours to give herself more power. She may feel that she has no control over her own life. Her husband may be absent more than she'd like, and with her children home all the time, she needs adult stimulation/interaction. You need to set boundaries for her, tell her that you'd like to spend time getting to know her and interact with her, but unless you ask for it, her opinions are to be kept to herself.

Give her something to talk about. Like the song says. She doesn't have enough going on in her life so she has to meddle in yours and that;s if you let her. Sounds like she's lacking something in her own relationship. You know misery LOVES company!! And she's trying to make you miserable...

talk to her one more time and this time when you talk to her talk to her in a nice way and tell her to mind her own business she has a husband just like you do.
