Your husband has a brother, and he has a wife. Do you get along with her?! Let me share my story. My husband's brother and I live on the same street; we used to get along better with his wife than we do now. I wanted to be friends with her since our husbands are close and often visit each other's homes. But I realized that her friendship with me is just a burden. We invite them over for summer barbecues, casual hangouts, dinners, and holidays. Yet, they only invite us to their birthday, never for any other gatherings. Again, I must say: the husbands are on good terms. She is 13 years older than me, but she tries to keep up with the younger generation. Age doesn't seem to hinder our communication. I noticed she mimics me—my husband even pointed it out. They rest in the same places and stay in the same accommodations as us, without saying anything. We only find out through her brother. In photos, she looks exactly like me. She likes my posts, then removes the likes. I've noticed she lies. She praised her earrings, claiming she bought gold ones with some unusual large stones. Later, I saw those exact earrings in a store—they were costume jewelry for 900 rubles. Those were definitely them. I would like to get closer, as we live nearby and the husbands are brothers. However, she gets along better with her brother's sister. She's often without her husband, constantly facing problems, sometimes without work or money. She frequently invites her over, and they drink in the evenings. To be honest, it hurts!!! Do you get along with your husband's brothers' wives? And how close are you?

Why would you want to interact with people who don't want to? Siblings communicate, and you communicate with your husband's brother. Your husband doesn't have a brother, but I do. He has a wife, and neither my husband nor I are close to her. And that's okay, I really don't care.

Unfortunately, friendship didn't work out yet, they only got married about two years ago

I was really set on being friends, but she wasn't that keen. She doesn't really have friends in general, she's just that kind of person. So, we have a friendly neutrality, I'd say

I know her, but we're not friends. We interact when my brother-in-law invites her over or vice versa, but I don't reach out to her directly, and she doesn't reach out to me directly. I have enough friends, so I don't need new ones.

No, and I don't want to. I barely see my husband's brother, maybe once a year if I'm lucky.

She's probably not comfortable with you.
I wouldn't even notice new earrings on someone; I'm not attentive to those kinds of details, let alone recognizing them later in a costume jewelry store 🙈

I'm not close friends with them.
Although, at one point, my husband's brother's wife wanted to be friends with me, she was constantly texting and calling me.
We just live in different cities.

Some I used to be close with, even went on trips together; others we don't really know, just cross paths at all these holidays. Now they've moved away and that's gone. Honestly, I couldn't care less.

We were never super close friends. But when we met, we'd get so caught up kissing that you couldn't pull us apart 🤣. Over the years, she became a bit arrogant (maybe out of hidden envy about some things). She'd even sit at events glued to her phone. Her husband called her out on it. She seems to have mellowed a bit. But still, there's some distance between us now.
I also wanted to be friends with her before, but over the years I realized our lifestyles and interests are completely different. She's not interested in me as a friend 🤷️.

No, there are no close relationships, and my husband's isn't particularly close with his brother either. They're too different. They don't fight, but they aren't friends either. And honestly, I don't really need it either, for the same reason – we're just too different.

Mama♡ocharovatelnoy dochki♡ It's the same here. 10 years have passed, nothing has changed.
