She Told Her Sister-In-Law She’s No Longer Invited Over Her House Because Her Sister-In-Law Keeps Leaving Things At Her Home And Basically Trying To Discreetly Move In With Her
Have you ever had someone try to discreetly move in with you?
It sounds nearly impossible, but it’s what happened to this woman who recently upset her sister-in-law, who’s been overstaying her welcome at her and her husband’s new home and leaving her things there as if she’s moving in with them.
She and her husband are 27-years-old and married a year ago. They’re very similar people, as they both value their education and have managed to stay career-oriented while balancing their relationship. Now, they live in New York, while her husband’s family lives in New Mexico.
They’ve been together for over a decade, and in that time, she’s gotten to know her sister-in-law.
Her sister-in-law is very different from her husband, as she’s always had a spoiled personality and chose a different life path. Her sister-in-law got married and pregnant when she was only 17, and after getting divorced, moved her and her daughter into her parents’ five-bedroom home in New Mexico.
“She doesn’t hate me but doesn’t love me either, and the feelings are mutual,” she explained.
“We just don’t connect. We recently [bought] a new house and threw a housewarming for all his family, and everyone loved the house. We have an extra guest bedroom, just in case. His sister absolutely loved the house .”
During the housewarming party, her sister-in-law suddenly told them that she’d start leaving some of her daughter’s things at their house because they have “too much space,” and that way, she wouldn’t have to lug it all anytime they visit from New Mexico.
She was immediately taken aback and uncomfortable with that idea and told her sister-in-law she couldn’t do that, as they don’t have that much space and plan on hosting several guests besides her and her daughter.

Although her sister-in-law was unhappy, she figured that would be the last she’d have to deal with her mooching in on her new home. Unfortunately, she was wrong.
Four months have passed since she and her husband bought the house, and her sister-in-law has stayed with them for over 50 days. She’ll randomly show up at their home and say she was “in the neighborhood,” although she had no other reason to travel to New York.
Her sister-in-law would begin staying with them for days at a time, leaving a bunch of her things behind and putting up her own pictures in the guest room.
“I told my husband, and he said I’m overthinking and [that] she’s just trying to be friends with me,” she recalled.
“When she left last week, I packed a box of all her things which she very conveniently ‘forgets’ in our guest bedroom and shipped it to her place. She got very, very angry and called me and started screaming at me. I told her to stop overreacting and stop considering our house as hers and that she’s no longer welcome.”
Since she finally put her sister-in-law in her place, she realized she ran off and told their entire family about what happened, and now her phone is blowing up with angry texts from relatives who think what she did was wrong and that she’s “inconsiderate.”
Meanwhile, she thinks her sister-in-law was trying to take advantage of her and her husband because she’s mentioned several times that she “loves the idea of living in New York.”
Was she being inconsiderate, or was her sister-in-law being delusional and sneaky?
