She is married and has family and friends. I’m not even close enough with her to recommend that she see a therapist.
She asked if we could meet up and I told her that I was really busy preparing for some travel, and that it would have to be scheduled for another time.
I am not the type of person who would ever “ghost” someone, but I was never friends with this person in the first place, and she’s ignoring my boundaries. Is it okay if I just ignore her?DEAR NOT: You don’t mention the content of the contact this person is pestering you with. If she is emailing or texting asking for advice and you don’t want to engage, you can respond, politely – “I’m sorry I can’t help you with this.
You’ve already invited her to reschedule, but you’ve decided to end the relationship instead. If she contacts you saying, “I think you’re probably back from your travels, so can you get together?” You can respond: “Sorry, but I’ll have to decline. Life is getting in the way.”We got married last year , but haven’t done the celebration part yet with family and friends.My husband’s sister hasn’t congratulated us or given us anything like a card or gift.
If she responds to your bids rudely, coldly, or not at all – then you should assume that she has a problem either with you, with her brother, or with the larger world around her.I realize this is easy for me to say and very hard for you to do, but if you are able to use this experience to acquire the extremely important skill of not taking things personally, then I’d say that this would be your sister-in-law’s lasting and valuable wedding gift to you.
