My SIL (SIL#1) is getting remarried this year and is busy planning her wedding. We are not blood related, but I thought we were close. We see each other every week and talk about everything. I don’t have any sisters, so I always considered her one….
It’s not that I am mad, or angry….well, see, I found out from her sister (SIL#2) that SIL#1 and her fiance took them out to dinner at a fancy retsuarant to check it out for the reception. She never said a word about it to me. Not that we would have gone, but it would have been nice to be asked. We would have paid our own way. And we actually only live 2 miles from SIL#2 and could have ridden together…..I don’t know….
And then today, SIL#1 was here for a couple hours working. We talked about the kids, we chatted about wedding plans. Then she left. When Dick got home, I found out from him that his mom, SIL#1, SIL#2 and their 2 daughters were all going out shopping for wedding dresses.
I’m sad that I wasn’t asked. And a little hurt. I’m sure she just has so much on her mind that she just isn’t even thinking of asking me. I guess. I just feel excluded. I’ve been in the family for almost 30 years, and being left out of some of this hurts. And it makes me sad.
And so I thought would write it down here and let it go….before it makes me want to eat. And eat. And eat.
