Quote From: survivin99My sister-in-law is the biggest bragger and most masterful manipulator I have ever encountered. Material possessions are her driving force. She sends out 3-page newsletters with pictures of all the highlights and acquisitions in her life, with subtle references to how her warm-climate state is oh-so superior to our chillier climate up north. She is a salesperson- dyes her hair blonde, had breast implants and now wears all these low-cut tops with a big bow right in-between her boobs like the ribbon on a package. She is the baby and her parents spoiled her since day one. She has manipulated her elderly parents into giving her large amount of cash to buy a house, then sends e-mails with 70 pictures of the house-to-be to my husband. She has my husband convinced that her lifestyle, car, state, and life in general is superior and now my husband wants to move to her state, is interviewing for jobs there and expects to get one soon. Her parents and my husband think this behavior is OK. I find her manipulative ways too much to handle, and personally fluctuate between pity, amusement and anger. To keep my marriage intact I will have to move away from my only son and only grandson, the driving forces in MY life. How do I manage to survive this one?
You poor woman, that's tough.
Sounds like your SIL and husband BOTH have some real issues that need to be addressed.
Your SIL is a spoiled brat ? But the sad thing about people like that is they will never find real happiness, that's why they feel the need to try and make everyone else look and feel bad about themselves, your husband is giving into that BIG TIME by even considering to move, have you talked to him about it, I mean a real heart to heart, maybe he feels like he's failed you because he can't give you what she has ( men can be strange that way, sorry guys).
As for her parents, that's their choice but sadly when they're gone, their poor Baby Girl will have to learn to look after herself, and that will be her wake up call.
But you ned to talk to him, and the reality is, he still may not have her lifestyle when you move, if anything it might get worse, don't just follow3 him blindly across the country, you have a life too.
