 im married 2 my highschool sweetheart, been together 12 yrs married 5. havee been getn along weel in his family and gotn close to my mother in law. i loove her dearly. became friends with my brother in laws girlfriend who ive also known 12 yrs but never liked her because i saw as a very fake person. but when i became close with her about 2 yrs ago, i thought shed grown up and changed. well, i was very wrong. i had a great relationship with my sister in law, who my brother in laws now wife ashley was also friends with. but they had grown aprt ovr yeaers so when she found out my sister and law and i wer close she didnt like tht 2 much. they strtd talkn and i noticed my my sister in law backin off frm me over time. i questioned ashley and my sis in law as to wht was goin on but never got an answer. well come 2 fiind out, ashley was telling her lies about me to turn her against me. ashley is the biggest liar ive ever met, she lies about everything and ive now caught her in a few. i was cordial in the beginning of all of this but now i cant b.i cant b fake and act like all is well. i wana confront her but at the  same time dont wana look like a fool and cause drama. now everything she does pisses me off, we have family dinner every wknd. and ive noticed her copying my meals. and she acts as if she doesnt and calls it her own. im a houswife, so cooking is my thing, i take pride in it and it is my passion. how can some1 act like tht, just steal someones recipes and call them thr own and not even b embarassed tht everyone sees shes copying mine, and i know we all talk about people, no one is innocent of it, but shes lieing about me to turn people against me, and shes not done. she finds any little thing now to make me look bad and her look good. why does she feel she has to compete with me, and what should i do, wierd thng is im not nice to her but shes very very nice to me, smile in your face person...cause i kno she hates me. i hear it from every1 shes talked about me to. please someone tell me what to do..wer family, theres no escaping the matter, and we see eachother every freakin weekend1 help1!!!!!

  •  .lol! im sorry, it was too much, thers just too much to be told and i wana be understood. basically my brother in law married a very fake girl who plays her part well, acts like shes this very sweet loving person and very nice but its all an act. and for some reason she feels shes in a competion with me, she has told lies about me to my sister in law and turned her against me, and whn ive tried talking with this girl she tells everyone about it and makes me look bad. she does everything she can to make herself look good and me look bad. she doesnt know i know about her talking about me 2 people and telling lies about me. so my thing here is, should i confront her, or forgive her and b codial

  •  This is just me...I don't waste my time on people like you're describing.

    I'd explain to whomever needed to know that your family gatherings have suddenly become very unpleasant and until the air is cleared in a mature and respectable fashion, you'd prefer to be excused from attending.

    If you can't be excused, confront her in the face of company.  I don't mean create a show, I mean call her out if she attempts to make you uncomfortable.

  • No I would not forgive her,people like that can not be trusted.I would confront her infront of the people she has been talking shit about you too but sort of in a nice way but not rude or immature way.Hope that makes sense!

  • i like tht idea, the thing about her makn me uncomfortable tho, is tht shes very nice to me because she knows im upset with her so im the one lookn like an asshole because im not gona b fake, if im upset with u, you will know, i wont b fake like her. but i like the idea of confronting her in front of them, because shes done all she can to make me look bad in front of them. thank u !
