Posted by LadyNeptuneNow we didn’t marry before our relationship were more than rock solid, both on a mental and physical level. So I am not worried about my marriage, did I mention that?
Gosh. Imagine how rock solid your relationship would be if you invested the time your spending on this bs drama on your marriage instead.
Posted by MrsPiscesCapricornrather than "trying to put her in her place", why don't you actually befriend her? she probably doesn't feel like you are a particularly nice person and given the focus of this thread, i would say you give her good reason to.
I am a Pisces married to a Capricorn man. He has a 3 years younger sister who is a taurus. Her age is 28.
She is always jealous of me and the way I dress, do my hair, copies my selections and decision, the way I talk, etc. She hates when I do something, but ends up doing it herself, behind my back. I have been trying to ignore it for the past 3 years I have been married to her brother, because I have been thinking she might feel this way because she might have had a close relationship to her brother (my husband). But my husband confirmed to me that they never had a close relationship and she has a tendency to always be the center of attention, even with her close friends.
He advised me to take it positive and be happy I'm "trendsetting", LOL. But come on, I am so tired of her making a fuss and drama out of everything I do and tries to stop me. Then goes behind my back and does it herself. She is making it so difficult for me!
My question: What shall I do about this? What might be her problem? What causes a taurus woman to be this way? Aren´t taurus woman strong, independent and stable ladies. How can I put her in place? She´s also super stubborn.
Posted by MrsPiscesCapricornYour spending a lot of energy competing with your sister in law. I don’t understand why her wearing the same style s of clothes/hair as you = her being jealous. Your not the first person to rock those looks. Trends and fashion is spoon fed to the masses.Posted by LadyNeptune

I didn’t marry my sister-in-law along with my man, so I am trying to understand her character. She is family, and my cap husband is all about family. Showing I am taking interest in understanding his sister would only give me points and not her, again boost my marriage

Posted by exsqueezemeShe has her own husband she can be possessive over. She NEVER had a good relationship with her brother (according to her own cap brother), so immediately when I enter his life, she gets all jelly?Posted by kitten_
All fixed sign women are jealous at Pisces, because apparently Pisces women are the only sign Capricorn man can love.
She probably wants her own brother click to expandclick to expand
Posted by jeaneIt´s funny you are mentioning that. I am a Pisces with a father who is Cap and husband who is Cap, so I know Capricorns quite well.

Before and after we even got married, I actually involved her in so many ways. I am actually friends with her friends, and all of them are super cool, we get along very well.
I am a year younger than her, so there is no big age gap between us either. So I dont understand what her problem is.
I invited her several times over for dinner, to go shopping, I even invited her to get her opinion for my wedding dress, I bought her gifts, I wish her for her birthday and much much more. I showed her I value her and that she means something to me. All in all, I really tried to include her in every parts of our lives, but she refuses, but still she goes on copying everything I do, from clothing to decorating the house, to how I interact with people to how I am with my husband. Its like: When I wear a dress a certain way, she would say I look trashy, even thought I looked decent. Then I see pictures of her somewhere, with the exact same dress, worn the exact same way and suddenly it´s fine? How is this right? This has happened so many times. She finds out where I got the dress, just within a few months or even weeks, I can now bet she does the same thing.
Do you think she has a psychological issue?
SHE does not want to be my friend, but still she's doing this, and its so annoying! Thats why I have decided I can't be friends with her, because I have tried it all. Still I want to be in good terms with her, that why I am trying to understand her. If I find out she is doing this just to annoy me, I want to "put her in place" as I mentioned earlier, because she can´t keep doing this. And I would´t feel guilty about it at all! Thats how much she's tried to ruin for me.

Posted by greylaternI hear you. Thank you for getting back to me regarding my issue.
Talk to her. You have nothing to lose at this point that you are not slowely losing already. The anger and resentment will build.
I'll take the high road and toss 2 possibilities I'vr seen around my life.
1. She wants to be close to her brother and sees you as a threat OR a model.
2. Jealously/envy of the relationship dynamic you guys have.
Instead of taking it personal since there is zero info that would make me think that is so, it maybe impersonal but have a negative effect on you. Your passive aggressiveness actually makes what she is doing possible. In human behavioral psychology lose respect. Try to really understand that last point.
Either way TALK to her, LEARN her, UNDERSTAND her. Find away to do so without tripping her defenses and she digs in her hooves. BEFRIENDED her.
Posted by ImpulsvIt is super annoying. And I want to know why she is doing it? This is not a typical behavior from a taurus as far as I know. My taurus friends as so independent and original. They are so easy-going, down to earth and friendly people.Posted by MrsPiscesCapricorn

Do you trash talk her like this in front of people irl? Be honest with yourself. I have a feeling her behavior is a reaction. You said you’ve befriended her friends. People talk and will repeat what they hear.

I have never been aggressive towards her directly, I am quite soft spoken, I have never disrespected her like she has disrespected me.

She makes my life miserable so that she can have a better life, better image, better everything than me. I have never compared myself to her, and I never will.

Posted by UnusualVaginalDischargeYour reply is so sweet. Thank you.Posted by MrsPiscesCapricorn
I see.
Thank for getting back to me.
Well I can do that, but the thing is that family is important to me and I have tried my best to be sincere, honest and giving towards her, because I have been afraid of making her uncomfortable or upset, but deep inside me I have been so annoyed and angry at her for not letting me be alone and do my thing. She ruined a lot of important moments in my life, just so that she can be the one and only in the family to have it that certain way, which I was doing in the first place. I have had it now and I have decided to do something about this, because she's crossing a limit. And I am going crazy.
But can anyone answer me what makes a taurus woman behave like this except for her placements? I am trying to understand her. My taurus friends are all quite independent, stable with lot of self-respect. They are all original, never seen any of them copy anyone. They have their own way of doing things and quite stubborn about it.
You shouldn’t care about how this narcissistic cookiemonster feels. Don’t walk on eggshells for her, she doesn’t deserve it

Sweety, are you even reading what I am writing? I have repeated myself a lot of times now of whats going on.
I will let you know:
1. My husband and I got wedding rings with 2 circles that has a special meaning to us. She commented saying who would have circles on their wedding rings. And that is looks so hilarious. She got married 6 months after, and she had asked her husband in front of our nose to get rings with the same type of circles of their wedding rings. Why throw a harsh comment in my moment? but when she has her moment its all fine?
2. I was thinking about booking a venue for my husband birthday, but she made a fuss about there is not enough room for all he guests. So my mother in law told me to book another one, even though I had paid the deposit. I booked another venue, and we had a great party. 1 year later she books that same venue I had to cancel, and throws her husbands party with even more guests. Why would she do that? Why did she make a fuss when I booked it? click to expand
Example number one
No big issue
So she thought it Hilarious at the time
Then maybe she saw actually cute
There there you’re probably the one seeing it with Marris.
Example two
So she uses the other venue. You’re the one that has to kick yourself for following recommendation of others . You could’ve said no I made my deposit this is perfect.
She chose it because she liked it and is not asking for your opinion. Or that off her mothers

Posted by LostPiscesI think you just solved my problem, fellow Pisces
Her brother was likely to be a provider of many things for her, and that providence is no more.
Taurus is about resources, and Taurus admire beauty, resources, money and all such, and Capricorn can produce all that.
What he seen in you, must be a question in her head all the way.
The only solution is to find her another provider lol
Posted by stillstillwaterI think you are right. I am really tired after trying and trying to have a relationship with her. I am a younger sister myself, and my brother got married recently. I have the most comfortable and understand relationship with my brother´s wife. I wanted to have that with my husband´s sister too, because that bond is so precious to have.
Well I understand your position that you’re bothered by her hypocrisy and insults especially after attempting to build a genuine relationship with her. But i think best is to ignore it ? Or try not to be at the same places which is super hard given that she’s family. Because if you be negative then it makes you look like a bad person. Blood is thicker than water so to Say.
Ignore. Try not to be at the same place. Or do the backhand compliment where you’re getting under her skin but on the outside it looks innocent so you don’t come out looking like the bad guy.
I’ve never noticed Taurus women to be jealous and that boisterous so don’t know what’s up with her.
Posted by SunsetvirgoI hear you.
I think some of y’all are missing the point 🤦🏽♀️
I guess since ur my axis I understand why this bothers you. It’s more of the fact that having someone despise you, especially someone who you believe shouldn’t, unsettles you.
And it’s your HUSBANDS SISTER no less.
Unfortunately my advice is less passive than everyone else. I would just confront her about it and have a real ass talk bc what other ppl aren’t understanding is that as long as Ur husband is apart of ur life, his sister (even if they weren’t close siblings) will always be apart of ur life too.
Y’all think she can just cut the sister out when they apparently have been in a lot of the same settings together 🤦🏽♀️
U don’t want bad blood in a family sis. Trust me

Posted by EllygantI understand what you are trying to say here.
Maybe she just has a super coarse sense of humor/sarcasm. And you read it as serious. Cause it vaguely reads like that to me.
Maybe she really is a total drama queen and you’re a helpless victim unable to do anything. (Note the last part was sarcasm). You can always choose to not feed into negativity. It’s not easy at first. But at the end of the day you hold power over your emotions. Focusing on her and why she does it and her motivations prevents you from being in control of yourself.
Either way, nothing a few laughs and a polite smile can’t fix. If you don’t feed drama it flounders.
Taurus SIL: That dress is sooo trashy.
You: Oh? Why thank you. I quite like it myself as well. Glad you noticed.
Then change the subject. And forget it happened. Seriously. Forget it. If you stop personalizingn and internalizing her actions she won’t get the reaction she wants and will be at a loss.

Talk to her. You have nothing to lose at this point that you are not slowely losing already. The anger and resentment will build.
I'll take the high road and toss 2 possibilities I'vr seen around my life.
1. She wants to be close to her brother and sees you as a threat OR a model.
2. Jealously/envy of the relationship dynamic you guys have.
Instead of taking it personal since there is zero info that would make me think that is so, it maybe impersonal but have a negative effect on you. Your passive aggressiveness actually makes what she is doing possible. In human behavioral psychology lose respect. Try to really understand that last point.
Either way TALK to her, LEARN her, UNDERSTAND her. Find away to do so without tripping her defenses and she digs in her hooves. BEFRIENDED her.
I hear you. Thank you for getting back to me regarding my issue.
I have never been aggressive towards her directly, I am quite soft spoken, I have never disrespected her like she has disrespected me. I have broken into tears many times, because the issue has gotten far more serious that I can explain. She makes my life miserable so that she can have a better life, better image, better everything than me. I have never compared myself to her, and I never will. I am happy with who I am and everything I have achieved in life this far. I am not jealous of her at all, so why is she jelly of me?
If she has a good life, I would be beyond happy. I would be thinking: "Finally, she's doing her own thing now". Now some peace. But why isn't she making her own choices? click to expand
How is she not making her own choices tho? You say she is getting better things/image that you. That’s not copying you, that’s one upping you. Tbh you sound like the jealous one... click to expand
Sweety, are you even reading what I am writing? I have repeated myself a lot of times now of whats going on.
I will let you know:
1. My husband and I got wedding rings with 2 circles that has a special meaning to us. She commented saying who would have circles on their wedding rings. And that is looks so hilarious. She got married 6 months after, and she had asked her husband in front of our nose to get rings with the same type of circles of their wedding rings. Why throw a harsh comment in my moment? but when she has her moment its all fine?
2. I was thinking about booking a venue for my husband birthday, but she made a fuss about there is not enough room for all he guests. So my mother in law told me to book another one, even though I had paid the deposit. I booked another venue, and we had a great party. 1 year later she books that same venue I had to cancel, and throws her husbands party with even more guests. Why would she do that? Why did she make a fuss when I booked it? click to expandclick to expand
Posted by MrsPiscesCapricornThe examples you’ve given are:Posted by LadyNeptunePosted by MrsPiscesCapricornPosted by LadyNeptune
Gosh. Imagine how rock solid your relationship would be if you invested the time your spending on this bs drama on your marriage instead.
Now we didn’t marry before our relationship were more than rock solid, both on a mental and physical level. So I am not worried about my marriage, did I mention that?
I didn’t marry my sister-in-law along with my man, so I am trying to understand her character. She is family, and my cap husband is all about family. Showing I am taking interest in understanding his sister would only give me points and not her, again boost my marriage

Your spending a lot of energy competing with your sister in law. I don’t understand why her wearing the same style s of clothes/hair as you = her being jealous. Your not the first person to rock those looks. Trends and fashion is spoon fed to the masses.
Sorry but there’s nothing original about you, me, or anyone else under the sun 🤷♀️
You should be trying to develop a relationship with your sister in law instead of talking up a rivalry that doesn’t exist. But do what you want... click to expand
Do you honestly think I made a thread about my taurus SIL because she copies my clothing style ? You do understand there are more serious matters that I have chosen not to write about? I am giving you some of the simplest things she's done so that you can understand how she behaves. The point I am making is that she is copying, she like to make her self the center of attention. If someone else does or makes it better than her, she turn in to Cruella De Ville. Makes everybody miserable, gives harsh comments.
All I am asking is why would a taurus copy someone, when their sign is so damn original and independent?
What do you think is happening inside her? Why so insecure? What might be her problem? click to expandclick to expand
Posted by sierra_Finally someone understands exactly what I feel!! Thank you!
i had to drop a taurus sun-leo moon friend who sent me a one-paragraph note on a dummy fb account a year after our fallout, just trust me when i say she was a greedy, selfish, irredeemable c-u-n-t and i say that with my polite @ss libra mars... had to do the same to a taurus sun-aqua moon friend... who was also 👿 only ever around when she needs something and both are with scorpio men.. don't know how those poor embossed leather jacket wearing semi-pets ever put up with them
same with my taurus sun-taurus moon cousin who didn't invite me to her wedding coz i sided with her libra uncle over her greedy, lying taurus mom... poor libra was stripped off everything except the clothes on his back when they got in court oh how i pray for the men they'd con next
the only tauruses i give a butter about is my mom, cher and that trucker guy who i hitched a ride to when my battery was down to 11% in a remote, old gas station once.. insecure asf women but not in a broody way but more of a trigger-rage kinda way
you'd do well with them if you've no personality to speak of nor a desire to be independent as a person
but then again my dislike for that axis is second only to my hatred for aquarius men so.. i just don't trust them

My gut feel on what I've read on this so far is that you're enabling her to get away with her behaviour. You're Pisces. Passive aggressive and woe is me can be part of your nature. Others have touched on this in their responses too. You're basically being far too soft!
I don't know why this Taurus behaves like this. No one but the Taurus knows. To me, it sounds a little like she's bullying you or taking the piss out of you because she can. You're an easy target for some reason. Probably because you put up with her behaviour.
Maybe she's just an arsehole. Just because she's your sister in law it doesn't mean she's nice and you'll get on. You can choose your friends but you can't always choose your family. Marrying your husband also meant marrying into his family so she kinda comes with the package.
It sounds like she gets quite involved in your life or decisions. Perhaps share less such as in your example of booking a venue for your husbands party. Why did you choose this venue, pay the deposit, and then proceed to change it all just because someone else suggested you to do so? Then you blame those people for what is your decision. If you wanted it to remain at that venue then you should have kept it there. Again, you're playing the victim. Woe is me. Passive aggressive.
Stop choosing to be the victim in your life. Taurus prefer you to be direct. To know your own mind. If you call her out on her behaviour and/or stick to your own decisions then she'll learn to bully someone else.

Posted by AgentP911Exactly like my SIL.
I don't know of many Taurus females but there's one I now avoid like the plague. A friend of my sister. Known her about 25 years. She went to school with my sister. Lived the next street away from us. Social gatherings for us were never an issue and she was ok but all changed after the UK had our Brexit vote two years ago.
She turned into such an annoying arsehole. She was unable to understand people have different views and opinions. People she had grown up with and known for years were now her perceived enemies. She'd slag people off behind their backs, on social media, to their faces. You name it, she'd do it or say it! In her head, she had voted correctly and everyone else was wrong, and because of this she was going to make it her mission to just piss everyone off!
You couldn't even have a quiet birthday dinner (for a mutual friend) without her bringing up the subject just to start a drama. I'd try and discuss her thoughts on the subjects she was bringing up but she wasn't open to good, rational debate. She just wanted to parrot fashion info and quotes, she was unable to talk personally about these subjects, and frankly she just became tedious. She couldn't see past herself and put differences aside, and just enjoy life.
In the end, people no longer invited her to as many things. For me, I just avoid or ignore her which is not difficult. She invited me last year to her 40th dinner but I declined and said I had other plans as it was my fella's birthday around the same time. I'm so glad I didn't go. My sister said she was a bloody nightmare!! She puts things on social media to try and antagonise people but I just ignore her and have a chuckle to myself about her. Others also ignore her, unfollow, unfriendly etc.
Sometimes, people show you that they don't need to be in your life!
Posted by HoovesofTopazTo an extent. If you go crazy ways to do so, and at the same time ruins for that person you are imitating over and over again, is just effed up imo.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Quit whining
Posted by MhmmmThere is not a single word in op's comments, which tells us that her husband wants her to be close with his SIL, he himself does not have good relationship with her, from what I got, OP's just saying that she knows that family however is important to him, so she's actually trying to find a way around her SIL's craziness and make things work.
I’m a Pisces who has a Taurus sister in law and cousin in law that are problematic to say the least, so I do understand the frustration in a way.
But I do agree with people here saying you should put boundaries up. And I think your husband shouldn’t expect you to be all pals with his sister if they as siblings were never close to begin with. You can still be civil whilst keeping your distance as a couple.
But again your husband shouldn’t expect you to have a close relationship with her if he isn’t close with her himself, you’ve come in as an outsider and don’t know what their dynamic was as children growing up or their history.
