Is it normal that i am angry at my sister in law for this?
I've been married to my husband for four years. And from the moment I met him his little step sister has been copying EVERYTHING I do. From the way I dress, hairstyle, type of decor in my house, right down to the things that I buy for our son. This may sound petty to a lot of you, but I don't think I can even explain how far it goes. She and her husband moved to the same place we did after we moved away from hawaii. To Maryland. And She literally lives like 1000 ft from my house. I have to see her constantly.
Her husband does it too. He proposed to my sister in law in the exact same place and way that my husband did for me. I've tried to talk to her but she honestly doesn't get it.
I'm starting to feel like I'm insane because everyone always says how "nice" she is and how "sweet" she is. Yeah, but that's about as far as it goes. She has no personality of her own so she tries to emulate me. Her marriage is so fake too. Her husband just married her because it was the "next step" in his life. And he never does anything with her. So she tries to emulate our marriage as hers in front of our family and friends.
I knowthis sounds like I'm totally self absorbed. But I'm not. Imagine If, for four years, everything you bought, did, or even certain ideas, were copied. And then this person acts like it was of her own accord that she did these things. It's gotten to the point that my husband and I don't talk about our plans for the future with our family for fear that she and her husband will find out and dobthe same things because they're to afraid to do things for themselves. Other people have noticed this and have stopped hanging out with both of them. But I really want to know if this is normal to feel this way? And Is SHE normal??
