High-Ranking Professional Refuses to Give Entitled Sister-in-Law a Job Reference After Years of Nasty Behavior

When you get married, you don't just say "I do" to your partner. You're basically marrying their entire family, too. And in the honeymoon phase, you might even imagine their siblings becoming your built-in besties, like a Hallmark movie coming to life. But then this time of year rolls around, the holidays hit, and suddenly, you're reminded that family dynamics are complicated, especially when you're trying to strategically plan visits with both sides. If your in-laws are chill, consider yourself blessed. But for some, marrying into a family means navigating the awkward, entitled sibling who seems determined to turn every interaction into a power struggle.

This woman thought she could keep her peace by steering clear of her sister-in-law. After years of the cold shoulder, she thought she had their "no-relationship" dynamic figured out until her sister-in-law asked her for a job reference... without even speaking to her directly. Now, she's stuck between protecting her professional reputation and trying not to spark more family drama than there already is. Read on to see how this tricky situation unfolds.
