In today's Asking Eric column, R. Eric Thomas responds to someone who got into a testy disagreement with their sister-in-law.
However, my brother/her husband of 30-plus years is not a social guy, and this irritates her to no end. She will complain to anyone who’ll listen about him. She recently started complaining to me about other things he does, such as not playing enough golf so she can have alone time, and his inability to find her choice of wine in Costco.
She holds a grudge for a very long time. My brother recently backed out of a golf tournament as my partner because of this. I’ve apologized in an email and twice face to face. She will not look at me or speak with me at all. Your hurdle here is her persistent resentment and anger. And it may be an insurmountable one. She’s proved that she’s willing to stoke and spread tiny grudges about her husband to anyone who will listen, so this conflict with you is likely more fuel for the fire.
