Poor FI :(

So I've waited on posting about this for over a week wondering if it'll blow over.  Some of you have read my other posts about FSIL and the issues we've had with her, but they finally hit a boiling point (and I'm happy to say I had nothing, absolutely NOTHING to do with it and it wasn't wedding related.)

So last week he asked FSIL if he could help at her son's karate class.  She knew he was going and didn't show up, but sent him nasty texts about him not going back to her house to see her after the class was over (it's really close by).

He didn't really engage and just said he enjoyed helping his nephew and wanted to do it more often.

The next morning his cousin texted him to ask "What happened with you and FSIL?"  We go to facebook (she's big on facebook dramatics so we figured he must have seen something there), and realize she defriended both of us and we later found out she wrote a nasty status about him and how she's "tired of holding the family together"

So now some of the family is upset (everyone in the family pretty much gets along and stays in touch, and it has nothing to do with her) and feel what she said was disrespectful to the family as a whole.  FI is angry / upset, it depends on the day.  He mentioned not wanting her in the wedding party anymore and possibly not inviting her at all (I doubt he'll go through with that, the wedding's far off still and I'm sure they'll move past it.)

We haven't been talking about it beyond the first couple of days that all this silliness happened, but I can tell it's still bothering him.  I'll occasionally ask if he's ok or wants to talk but I haven't directly brought it up.  

Any advice on what to do?

  • Keep doing what you're doing. If he wants to talk about it, he will. Just listen and make soothing noises. Aside from that, there isn't much you can do. Sorry you're in the middle of this shitty situation.

  • I agree. Just be supportive of him. Good on you for not being involved!
  • Thanks guys!  It's hard watching him be upset.

    You'd think the response she gave him would have been "Thanks so much for helping my kid", not a big virtual middle finger.
