Do you ever feel alienated/ intimidated by your SILs' close relationship?

(Either your brothers' wives, or the sisters of your husband?)

Just wondering if you've experienced this, and how you got past it. I've felt this way for a number of years, and it seems like it intensifies over time as my SILs have so much in common (married to brothers, work for same company, same number & ages of kids, both switching from FT to PT, etc., etc.). It's hard not to feel like the odd one out, and it's understandable that they would be buddy-buddy, since they have so many similarities. It's a bit more uncomfortable since one of them used to be my good friend (a long time ago), then we had a falling out, and it's still awkward between us.

Any BTDT or advice?

Thanks!

Yes, my 2 SILs (DH's sisters) are both married to Brazilian guys (who are best friends), both live in the same town (near the grandparents) and now both work for the school system. I am totally the odd woman out. they have each other to lean on and help each other out. I got nada.

My sister-in-law (dh's sister) and my other sister in law (dh's brother's wife) get along a lot better with each other than either gets along with me. I do feel like the odd woman out. I'm sorry. It stings.
