His Sister-In-Law’s Boyfriend Is Jealous of The Relationship He Has With Her, And He’s Tired of Being Dragged Into The Drama
For a year, this 35-year-old man has been working with his sister-in-law, 27, and their jobs are in a field that’s predominantly male.
He’s known his sister-in-law since she was 12-years-old, and they have such a close bond that she’s like a sister to him.
Leading up to his sister-in-law working with him, she was financially unstable. Even though she was working two jobs, she was still living paycheck-to-paycheck.
“So, I had the idea that she come work with me. I work in oilfields. She was reluctant since it’s a construction job, and it’s mostly men working. She is a tough woman, and I knew she could do it,” he said.
After several months of trying to convince his sister-in-law to work with him, she eventually agreed, and he helped her get a position at his company.
In order to save money, he and his sister-in-law drove the two-hour commute together.
Three months into his sister-in-law’s new job, she got into a relationship with a co-worker. In the beginning, things seemed fine.
However, his sister-in-law’s boyfriend quickly developed resentment and envy towards the close bond he had with his sister-in-law.
“He would say that he didn’t view our relationship as normal and that he would never have this type of relationship with his sisters-in-law,” he explained.

Since he and his sister-in-law are so close, they bond over tons of shared interests, like their love of rock music. They often recommend cool podcasts to each other, as well as joke around throughout the workday, which makes their jobs way more fun.
Then, a couple of months ago, on a Sunday at about 11 p.m., his sister-in-law’s boyfriend called him. The call awoke him, and he answered the phone while he was essentially half asleep. Her boyfriend, intoxicated and angry, said that he hated him and wanted to have a physical altercation with him.
After this, he called his sister-in-law to check in on her. She was doing okay and said that she broke up with her boyfriend. But it didn’t last long.
A month after the breakup, his sister-in-law got back together with her boyfriend after he agreed that he would go to therapy. It seemed like therapy sessions were paying off, but in his opinion, her boyfriend still seemed resentful and envious toward him.
Then, a few days ago, his wife received a text from his sister-in-law. Apparently, her boyfriend had been looking through her text messages and stumbled across a text from him that upset him, and they had a huge argument over it and broke up.
“The message was from about four months ago, meaning that this guy checks her every single message. The message said, ‘I’ll see you tomorrow,’ and it had a blowing kiss emoji. This is where I feel so guilty because it was not my intention to send her that. In fact, neither she nor I realized the mistake,” he shared.
While he feels bad that it was because of him that his sister-in-law and her boyfriend had such a terrible fight, he truly hadn’t meant to send that emoji to her. He related it to when you accidentally text the wrong person.
As soon as he learned about the drama, he reached out to his sister-in-law to say sorry for sending the wrong emoji to her.
Due to her boyfriend’s explosive reaction to seeing that text message, he believes that her boyfriend doesn’t seem mentally or emotionally stable, and he doesn’t want to cause any more drama between his sister-in-law and her boyfriend.
After the fight, her boyfriend said he was sorry, and they are now dating again.
A couple of days ago, he decided not to ride with his sister-in-law to work anymore, and he drove to work alone. Now, his plan is to discuss the issue with his manager, and he’s going to request that his manager move his sister-in-law to work in a different crew so that he doesn’t have to be around her anymore. If his manager doesn’t agree with this idea, he’s going to ask his sister-in-law to search for a different job entirely. Since he loves his job, he doesn’t want to be the one to have to work for a different company.
Understandably, he’s sick of being dragged into her boyfriend’s issues, and he knows that it’s only a matter of time before her boyfriend gets angry and envious again.
Of course, he and his sister-in-law don’t have an inappropriate relationship with one another. Her boyfriend just seems to have some intense jealousy issues, and therapy doesn’t seem to be helping.
Do you think he’d be wrong to ask his sister-in-law to find a different job or to ask his boss to move his sister-in-law to a different crew?
