P.K.
I have been married for 3 years to my husband and have known him and dated on and off for 13 years. The interesting thing is that no matter how close you think you are to the sister-in-laws, they always have a way of reminding you that you started out as the outsider and that IS their brother that you married. That is not to say that they don't love you, or want you in the family, or still want a closeness to you. However they never just come out and say that they just want to spend time with their brother when sometimes that is the case. I have encountered many situations like this and I think they just don't think they have to explain to us that they just want their brother from time to time...especially when it's their big brother. I say don't be offended. It happens from time to time, I would and have said something to the affect of "what, did you guys forget about me?" just to see what the responce is, but that is just my personality:>)
