Your inlaws? I like them, but after 6 years of knowing them, I still don't lovE them. I care for them and would be upset if anything happened but I thought I woud love them by now. I know part of it is my own emotional issue but it also seems that the more comfortable they are around me, the more they say whatever the he'll pops into their heads, which isn't always nice, and I am sensitive so I tend to build a wall. Just wondering how your relationships with the inlaws are.

Re: Do you love....
We need to meet over a few drinks about my IL's. Many ladies know my IL's, esp my MIL quite well.
Hell, I have blood relatives that I don't love. I don't think people become loved ones just because of the proximity to your life.
I love my MIL and SIL to pieces, though.
I'm becoming increasingly fond of my SIL the more I get to know her. I really really like her. She lives far away, so I haven't gotten the chance to spend tons of time with her. I'm not sure I can say I "love" her, but she's definitely my favorite IL and I think someday she'll be someone who will actually feel like real family to me. Maybe FIL too, but that's a completely different situation.
I love J's father and step mom, but MIL is a different story. Those who've known me for a while know the issues I've had with her.

I don't love them, I don't really LIKE them. I have nothing in common with them (other than their son) but I accept them (mostly)
I always thought I'd gain another set of parents...that didn't happen
My FIL passed at the beginning of our dating. MIL has never really been in our lives, or H's life. She gave up custody of him to his grandparent's at birth because she had issues. We visit her maybe once a year, if that. She texts and calles DH maybe once every few months.
I do have to say that I love his dad's side of the family. His aunts and cousins are so cool.
