Her Sister-In-Law Is Furious That She Didn’t Share How She Went To A Prestigious University And Earned More Degrees
When this 30-year-old woman was younger, she was lucky enough to have the opportunity to pursue higher education. Then, after she graduated, she obtained a “good job” and started earning a decent salary in the workforce.
Eventually, though, she got burnt out. So, she decided to have an open conversation with her husband. And together, they agreed that she could be a stay-at-home mom.
“Because it was less stressful and healthier for us both,” she said.
Her husband’s brother recently got married less than a year ago, though. And his new wife Sarah is extremely proud of her education since Sarah attended an extremely famous university.
But, according to her, Sarah tended to look down on their mother-in-law since her husband’s mom never pursued any secondary education.
“So I guess I should have realized that Sarah also looks down on me for not being a ‘high achiever,'” she revealed.
Regardless, her brother-in-law and Sarah have been fighting a lot lately. And one day, when the whole family was gathered at her in-laws, the pair started arguing in front of everyone again.
Apparently, Sarah made a remark accusing her brother-in-law of being misogynistic and backward. However, Sarah reportedly claimed she “was not surprised.”
“Since the only women in the family are poor little housewives who were never allowed to read,” Sarah said.

Now, after Sarah made that comment, her brother-in-law decided to tell his wife off– revealing how she had actually gone to the same university as Sarah.
Plus, her brother-in-law even pointed out how she earned more degrees than her sister-in-law! At first, Sarah really believed he was just joking, too. So, her sister-in-law just started to laugh before she chimed in and confirmed it was true.
That immediately got Sarah to be quiet. But then, her sister-in-law proceeded to accuse her of being a traitor, a sell-out, and even a misandrist for “wasting” her potential and “allowing” herself to stay locked up at home.
By that point, she was done with the conversation and decided to just take her kids and leave the gathering– because, quite frankly, she did not want to get involved in her brother-in-law and Sarah’s argument.
Despite that, though, Sarah has continued blowing up her phone ever since and claiming that she messed up by keeping her educational history a secret. On top of that, she got told that she should’ve had Sarah’s back in the fight against her brother-in-law. And finally, Sarah believes she is just wasting her life right now by being a stay-at-home mom.
“I really didn’t think it was so deep,” she vented. “I mean, she’s not my employer, so why does she need my CV?”
Nevertheless, with Sarah still upset with her, she’s been left wondering whether not telling her sister-in-law about her educational background actually made her a jerk or not.
Why do you think Sarah cares about the fact that she pursued higher education too? Does it seem like her sister-in-law has some other insecurities or jealousy that are being projected? Is she required to share her educational history with everybody? What would you do in this situation?
