Are you in good terms with your in-laws ?

Hi, nice to know that you are getting prepared, very good! However, I didn't have much sweet times with my in-laws. She was nice at first than turned into a devil later on. Like I was not allowed to do many things since we lived together. My sincere suggestion is NOT to live with your in-laws. Visit them frequently and NEVER stay together. An outsider is always an outsider. Not only you face difficulties, even your spouse will too!

My in laws, at least the parents, are deceased. The advice I would give, though, is to always respect them. You love their child, and they are who raised that person to be your spouse. Respect them for that, even if you disagree sometimes. I would also say, do not ask too many favors, try not to borrow money, and live a little distance away, so they can respect you as adults, too.

I am glad that I have a good relationship with my in-law parents. I think it's very important to respect them like my own parents. After all, they brought up my husband. If I love my husband, I should also love his parents. They treat me well, too. They are very nice people. I love China

I don't have any in-laws now but when i did i got along just fine w/ both sets i had. Of course i now have 2 daughter-in-laws & we have no problem either. There is no reason not to get along w/them. if they are making my sons happy , i'm happy. I have my opinions at times on things but i keep them to myself " so far", lol.

Trust THE PARENT'S good judgment when it comes to them talking about their experiences...ESPECIALLY when it comes to their child (the one you'll be marrying); and above all...be confident within yourself. A smile never hurts either. cdrxo

Hi Helscream, I'm too not married yet but we have a kid of our own. I really don't have that closeness with his parents but I have a huge respect with them. Though I feel more at ease with his dad than to his mom, because my man is sort of a momma's boy when he's younger (teenager). It's good to hear from you that you're starting to establish your relationship your boyfriend's family. Do your best and be yourself, in that way, they'll surely understand on why their son/daughter has chosen you to be his other half. Good luck!

Hello HelScream I am not married yet but my four friends are married and one sister too.I am watching their lives closely.I dont know from where are you but living with in laws is not goo idea at all.My on gal pals in laws dont help her in cooking and they expect her to cook for them.They are putting lot of restriction on her too.They are the one who are ahead of everyone in criticizing her and last to give complement.

I'm not married either but when I was I was not so close with my in-laws.We were civil to each other but we never went out of our way to spend time together.I liked my mother in-laws second husband. He was so nice. He and my now ex-mother-in-law were high school sweethearts and both married others but got back together later in life.I didn't mind visiting those two but when she was married to her first husband, I didn't like to be around them.There was too much tension and it followed me and my then husband back home.

i am a woman, so i am not close enought with my mother in-law. what ever i do, i am guilty in her eyes, so i decide to move and have my own house. after i move into my own house, my relationship with mother in-law more better now. if you want merriage, i rather you have your own house, if you not afford to buy own house, so i prefer you live in your wife house, because the woman sense is soft sense. And you must keep your future wife filling.
