My wife’s sister who is very capable and successful in her career totally gets off on other peoples drama. She’s a grifter and an enhances the truth for her own means.

She loves nothing more than someone else’s crisis where she can pull strings and influence the outcome. On top of this she dislikes me for not putting up with her BS or humouring her.

Amongst other things I’ve seen her try to convince her brother not to marry the woman he did in fact marry.

Anyway she’s all over the crisis I am having with my wife who is on this occasion seems determined to leave me.

Yesterday I discussed my feelings with my wife saying I wanted our marriage to continue as I loved her, I didn’t want our children to suffer and I was sure with some counselling and direction we could get this back on track.

I also brought up the cost of divorce in relation to our childrens college fees. I was told the cost wouldn’t be an issue as her family would pay whatever it costs to get her away from me. (This in itself is bizarre as I’m not abusive, I suspect I have been framed as someone who is)

I’m getting a sense her sister’s voice is the loudest in the room.
