Just read your post 16.13. You say you are quick to say the wrong thing. Might you already have said something to upset her? Why not phone, avoid saying "the wrong thing" and just ask her if there's anything wrong, or whether you've offended her in some way, as you would hate that to be the case. I certainly wouldn't text.

I know that I will have to ask, but I don't
Ike to do it by phone as I am too quick to say the wrong thing☹️
Maybe a carefully worded text.(she lives a long way from us)

Yes you need to talk to her, it may well be a misunderstanding as tanith says. The longer it goes on the harder it will be to sort out. Don't be confrontational, it may be a simple mistake.
Good luck.

There could be all sorts of reasons, including she knows you love her and will forgive her if she seems offhand. Its hard to say without understanding just what has happened but I agree with others, somehow you need to find a way to check out why she seems so distant. There could be underlying worries and pressures he has told no one about.

Approach her calmly and quietly and ask if you have offended her.
What I am trying to say is don't make it an accusation.

There is only one solution Hildagard and you know what you have to do, be brave, you can only do something if you know what is wrong

I don't see why you can't ask if you've done something to upset her? Only you can know if she is really giving you the cold shoulder or if maybe its a misunderstanding.

Help I want to shout errgh! I was v Close to one of my sister in laws and now, she is cold shouldering me and I want to find out why, but OH says let it go! I can't though as I feel very cross, have I done something to upset her, then I will apologise, if not ! Why? Am I being too sensitive?
