How much do you dislike someone?

I have disliked someone to the point that I`ve never wanted to see them again. This was a family member. I know it`s time consuming to hate someone, but sometimes it`s best to avoid a person. Have you ever had this experience with a family member?I hate my sister in law. Do you hate someone so much that you can`t be in the same room with them for 5 minutes?

Update:

My sister in law is cruel. She compares my two kids all the time. She says my one kid is a trouble maker and a retard. She says I don`t know how to parent.

Update 2:

Of course her child is a star hockey player.......Some people have issues with their own insecurities and they have to put others down . It`s sad that she does this to her nephew.

Update 3:

And she has all these careers that she plans on fullfilling. She wants to be a nurse, lawyer, teacher, personal trainer.....She`s also obnoxious to be around. She lies, and denies that her mother is mentally challenged, ( she really is).

    I've disliked someone in my family enough that it came to a full on fist fight. I was young and dumb, I should have walked away, let them believe what they want. The entire family knew I was in the right, but my tempered youth got the best of me and I made the 'fight' a physical fight. After that, even though the family knew I was right they felt we were both wrong and it hurt my reputation in the eyes of the family. I have made my peace with those family members but it took a long time for my 'rep' to be accepting and positive.

    My suggestion is that if you have a dislike with someone, 'kill them with kindness' and do your best to take the High Road. If every time you walk out of the room or act in a negative way, the other members of your family are going to think of you this way. Be the more responsible one and maybe you can win your Sister-in-law over to your side, or at the very least, you family will be on your side. Best of luck.

    I've hated two people this way. One was my old boss, which was awkward to say the least, and the other was a girl I went to college with.

    Both of them were pathological liars, which I find the most unforgivable trait in anyone. To stand there and listen to them lie when they KNEW that I knew they were lying was a jaw-dropping experience. Total psychos!

    I left my job because of the boss, and when the girl and I were due to fly back to the UK from college I actually paid to change my flight so I wouldn't have to be on the same plane as her. After two years of being stuck in a dorm with her, I honestly thought I might kill her before we got home! I have seen her only twice in the 15 years since, but now we have a good email friendship! I have no desire to see her again EVER but quite like being an eFriend. Weird.

    I've definitely disliked a particular in-law family member to the point that I cannot stand to be in the same room with him, and I will do just about anything to avoid having to be near him.

    I married my husband, not the in-laws ... so I don't feel that I should have to force myself to deal with that person unless absolutely necessary.

    I have a VERY strong hate for my sister in law! and I dislike my mother in law. Theyre both liars, snakes in the grass etc. Just bad people. I see red when I hear about them or see them.

  • Actually, yes there is. I have a 2nd cousin who is one of the most conceited people I have ever met. I don't know why because she has nothing going for her. I'm not jealous. We had an argument over e-mails a couple of years ago because she thought she can speak to me as if I was one of her friends (I'm older than her) and called each other names. I haven't spoken to her since and I haven't missed it. lol

    All I can tell you, is that I wrestle with this myself. I have been taught not to hate, but there is one person in this world that knows how to push my buttons. I am a Christian, but I am not perfect, I want to punch this person in the face every time I see him

    i don't know if i actually 'hate' anyone, but there are certain people i dislike so much i find it exhausting to spend 5 minutes with them. mostly it's people who are so snobby and elitist, all they talk about is how great they are and don't even listen to a thing you say. i try to avoid them as much as possible, but sometimes you have to suffer through it.
