Entitled SIL Said I Didn’t ‘Deserve’ Our New House – Then My Husband Went Off
After three years of saving, my husband Greg and I moved into our first home, a cozy haven perfect for our growing family—I was six weeks pregnant. At our housewarming, Greg’s sister Tessa arrived late, her eyes cold. While showing her the basement kitchenette, she sneered, “OUR house?” She claimed I didn’t deserve it, as Greg’s six-figure salary paid most of the mortgage, while my freelance marketing income paled in comparison. She resented my place in Greg’s life, feeling replaced as his confidante. Stunned, I froze until Greg intervened, fiercely declaring, “She’s not lucky. She’s loved. She’s MY WIFE!” He banned Tessa from our home if she
disrespected me again. Tessa’s parents and son Jacob supported me, urging her to leave. A week later, Tessa texted a half-hearted non-apology, blaming me for “playing house.” Greg dismissed it as damage control. On our porch swing, he reassured me: “You don’t have to earn your place. You’re my home.” Tessa may never accept me, but with Greg’s fierce love, supportive in-laws, and Jacob’s affection, I’ve found my true home—built on love, not competition.
