silence is the best medicine - both my devarani’s come from similar backgrounds.. and managed to get along very well. I on the other hand come from a very different upbringing and was married into the family not knowing anyone - whenever it came to conflicts I stayed away and managed to stay quiet.. I’d talk to my husband and let him know but I wouldnt say anything myself. First things first.. your not living with them, if you had been it would have been different.. milo to aise milo ke kabhi phir nahi milo gi and when they come over entertain like you might not live to do it again.
Women love to talk, chitchat, backbite.. but staying out of it is always the best! My mom always says ke baat karne ka hamesha eik SAHI waqt hota hai.. eik sahi time - uss se pehle uss baat ka wazn khatam hojaata hai. You know all they say and do.. and if they try and use it against you INFRONT of you thats when you take a stand.. jo tumhare saamne nahi horaha uss ke baare mein itni fikar kyun?
Plus, they might not even be backbiting against you, just living with her neice might be making her choose them over you which is normal.. dont take it to heart so much.. ye energy kisi aur cheez per focus karo. Make sure you read namaz and make dua to Allah to open up their hearts towards you!
thanks mysti for ur comment…im glad someone is being decent.
iv never said anythin to anyone from day one. never, always been good with them but the fact taht the SIL think they can say what they like baffles me, when i have never made a comment to them
