relationship with your mother in law?

My in-laws are lower than dirt. I haven't seen or spoken to any one of them in almost 4 years and I fully intend to keep it that way. They are terrible, toxic people and I refuse to have them in my life.

I am not married yet, so I still don't have a mother in law. I have a boyfriend though and I don't think his mother likes me at all. In public, we seemed okay but deep inside I could really feel the discomfort. At first, I tried really hard to win them (his mother and family). I've exhausted all my time, efforts and some material things for them, but all for nothing. They are not really that bad to me, but they wouldn't let me in to their lives. Is is too much to ask for? I have love them because they are my boyfriend's family. Until I got sick and tired of wooing them. If they do not care about me then why should I? My boyfriend is more important to me anyway.

I have a good relationship with my mother-in-law. Although she doesn't have any education, but she is very kind to me. I treat her nice and I also respect her. As I know I have to regard her as my own mother and we will be happy together. If we are happy, then my husband is happy. I love China

I live with my boyfriend now for almost 4 years and his mother does not live in the same State as us and she loves me. I basically am myself with her and am the only person that takes time out to listen to all her dramas and chitty chats. No one else does, I suppose me not having a mother I am a bit more understanding with her than anyone of her own children. I think if my boyfriend and I were ever to split, heaven forbid, she would be devastated. I supposed I am lucky and blessed.

This is a universal issue isn't it? My mother in law, like how it happens in most cases in India, treated me badly when I was newly married. Even though we stayed in a different city at that time, she used to come visit us and those days were hell emotionally, mentally and physically for me. She never beat me up, thank god, but used to make me do all the physical work even when I was pregnant and sometimes not give me food. Well all that is behind me now. I struggled for some time and then revolted. I could bear it no more and was exhausted. I stopped crying and caring for all these people. Now my in laws are scared that I will take legal action if anything like that happened and they know I will not hesitate to do that now after all I have gone through. I have no respect for them in my mind now. But I dont treat them badly. I am normal with them. I do my duty to them. But there is no love lost between us and they dare not treat me badly again. I am civil to them now because of my daughter who needs her grandparents.

Hi there, Well I think my relationship with my mother in law isn't bad at all. It's a good thing that we live far away from them because I think the nearer we are with each other the more I will see the real her. So it is better that we don't live with them so that any misunderstanding will be avoided. I have experienced living with my in-laws though, it was for a month and within that time I knew some issues that she was bringing up about me and I don't like it so much because most of it weren't true at all. It seems that she was misjudging me. I don't have to blame her and I didn't even talk about it with my husband because I don't want us to fight about it. Good thing we went back here after a month. So now, we haven't seen each other yet and i'm happy for that.
