RE: Parents-in-law.... Guidence needed

in #life7 years ago

I would personally just ignore them over this issue. If you kick off at them you risk alienating your wife. She obviously has many more years of history with them than you do. However wrong they may be, they are still her parents with whom she has a strong bond. Anything that comes in between that bond (ie you!) will be looked upon as a threat. Even unconsciously she may resent you for it.
Her parents are the ones with the problem, not you and your wife. Try to rise above their behaviour and be thankful for the love you and your wife share. It will not be easy but you will both save yourselves a ton of stress and potentially years of conflict. Good luck to you both.

I do understand what you are saying. My wife never really had that mother daughter relationship. she has more of that with my mother than with her own.
I will never come between my wife and her parents but the thing that have been said about my family and myself were unnecessary. They dont even make time to get to know my parents.

But you are right, I just need to get over their bad intentions and show them that I am the better person.
I do believe in that wheel that turns.
Thank you for the advice

You're welcome. It is easy to give out advice when not going through the situation yourself but I hope it helped a little. I hope everything works out for you :-)
