Do you love....

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. Huh?

    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 only have a MIL and SIL now.  And while they drive me batty I do love them very much.  How could I not?  She and FIL raised a wonderful man and a great SIL.

  • I really and truly love my in laws so much. I love all of Huz's family. Yeah, sometimes they get on my nerves (my family does too), but I really love them all and enjoy spending time with them. And I know they love me too. I am very fortunate with the family I married into. We've been together for 10 years and there has never been drama. Both of our families love and care for each other.

  • Yes. Plain and simple yes, very much.

  • 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 am extremely lucky to have married into such a wonderful family. I love members of DH's family more than many of the members in my own family.
  • 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 do and they do feel like family now. But it did take awhile because they are really different my my parents and when DH and I met my family was a mess. We've been together 6 months shy of 10 years now. I would say it's only been in the last 2-3 years that I started to feel like family with my IL.
  • yes, I have a great set of them.  I consider myself very very lucky, as I know a lot of people who have awful ILs.
  • I care about my IL's very much. We've come so far in the last two years, I feel incredibly lucky. My SIL and I had a heart to heart over Xmas. I do care for them all very much.

  • 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 in laws have really grown on me a lot. I am starting to love them. I think they wanted instant daughter and it put me off, but now I am really starting to have that kind of relationship. Just over Christmas I started calling them Mom and Dad. but they are extremely nice people. They have issues, but they really mean well.

  • 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.
