I’ve been with my husband for several years but I’ve noticed my MIL being much more inclusive and being more welcoming which is great. I feel like I am now officially a part of the family by being in the immediate family group chat lol, family photos, etc. At first his sisters were inviting me out, I assumed so we could bond even more.
I even made them two bridesmaids hoping it would make us closer. It was great having them be involved and seeing my sisters and them make memories but it just all stopped after we got married. I see his sisters, their aunt (our age) all have girls nights without me. They invite another girl who is the aunts former sister in law but also became his sisters bff. So in a way I feel a bit jealous that a non female relative gets to be in on the girls night. A part of my fear is if we all have children and they have play dates without my kid lol I know I’m looking too far into it.
I’ve tried a couple times inviting them to hikes and paint night (pre Covid) but no one really seems that interested when I make plans. I know they like me enough, it’s not like we are besties, but I’ve been around the family for years. It would be nice to sometimes be a part of the girls nights but I don’t want to be that person whining to their husband and having it felt like charity for them to include me.
