What do you do when your bestfriend’s relatives tell you they do not like your bestfriend’s wife?

It as an awkward situation, to say the least. My bestfriend’s uncle told my dad about their dislike towards my bestfriend’s wife. They ranted about her and how they told her to her face how much they don’t like her. Apparently, they attended their wedding after my bestfriend begged his relatives. They’re the only ones he’s got left. His mother died a few years ago while his dad is now busy with his own family.

The relatives told the wife that they liked the ex-girlfriend better than her because the ex loves them and is close to them until now. While the wife does not even acknowledge them and is doing her best to brainwash my bestfriend against them. Actually the latter is the reason why their dislike for her was sealed. They learned that she was telling my bestfriend to stop helping them in any way.

Honestly, when I first met her, I am prepared to like her. It was a brief meeting at my bestfriend’s mom’s wake. And she was pleasant enough. Friendly. Her mom is the best because we hit it off instantly. Plus, even if she wasn’t that pleasant, I am prepared to like her out of loyalty to my bestfriend. We’ve been bestfriends for more than a decade already and I support his decisions in life. But when my sister and I stayed with the wife’s family a year before they got married, her true colors emerged. She really was unpleasant at times. I don’t know. Maybe it’s the woman in me who feels the woman in her. It’s like she’s really someone else but is hiding it well.

Oh well. I won’t tell my bestfriend about what his uncle told my dad. I don’t know how. I just wish that there will be a compromise soon. My bestfriend is a good man and he deserves happiness in his life. Not this rift.
