What’s your relationship like with your future in laws?

Deinara, on June 20, 2019 at 1:49 PM Posted in Married Life 0 17
From dating to now engaged how has your relationship been with your SOs family? I think I lucked out but my SOs family loves me and my kids and has always been super nice to us. I’m blessed to have them.

    It's always amazing when everyone gets along! I love my in laws and hang with them all the time. We've even been on vacation together. His mom probably calls me more than she calls him 😂😂. My parents love him as well and he helps my dad from time to time when my brothers arent available. We are truly blessed.

    I always thought they didn't really like me. They're not as warm as my parents are, especially his dad. but over time I realized it's just how they are and they show their love and care in other ways and so it's definitely good now

    I'm getting closer with his family. I mean I met his mom on our second date (we went back to his place and he was taking care of her at the time as she can't work and he was). It was a lot awkward, but it's not anymore. 7 years strong and we are sorta close. We actually stayed over last night. We try to come out at least once a week so that we can help them out (his mom lives with his gran, and GPA has alzheimers so he cant remember how to fix broken things anymore) so we have to be close lol we don't fight. Unless fh's brother's wife is around. That....person....is someone I avoid as much as I can because she's not worth the drama she carries with her.

    You're lucky! My fiance has an awkward relationship with his parents and by extension I do too.

    My FH's parents are going through a divorce and have been since I met them. so I haven't really been able to build a relationship with them because anytime I see them it is them complaining about the other. I feel once the divorce is finalized our relationship will be awesome - we get along great but it is hard to to build a real relationship when there is only one topic of conversation.

    I have a great relationship with his siblings, their SO's and his extended family.

    My FH has a fantastic relationship with my entire family - they all love him!

    I have a really good relationship with my FIL's, and my FH has a great relationship with my family as well! His family is pretty quiet, and mine is very loud but that can be nice because I get to get a lot of talking in over there. Smiley smile FH & I talk a lot about how we're both so lucky that we came from great families and have such a good relationship with both families.

    I am very lucky. My FH parents are amazing. I call them MIL & DIL. They would do anything for us and vise versa.

    FH doesn’t keep in contact with his mother (for good reasons), but is very close with his father. His father liked me from the start and still likes me! Calls me his daughter when he introduces me, so very sweet. We’ve had little tiffs but were fine (I’ve been with FH for 7 years and all lived together for a short time) 😊 My FH with my parents is fine! They don’t communicate a whole lot since we live in different states, but they all like one another! Which is good since my parents did not like my previous boyfriend haha

    Luckily, his family loves me and I love them. They are the sweetest people. My family loves my FH. They even added him to our family chat after only like a month of us dating. It was weird, but adorable. Honestly, I don’t think I could marry or date someone that my parents did like or their parents didn’t like me. It would probably cause a lot of issues down the road.

    I also am lucky! I absolutely love my future in laws, and have been on family vacation with them twice already, third time coming up tomorrow! They're super sweet and fun, and nothing like the "typical" in-laws you hear about. I believe FH would say the same about my family, he actually lived in his own room with us for 7 months!

    I have a good relationship with FH family. His cousin and stepsister are 2 of my bridesmaids. We've been together for 10 years so I've known the whole family since we were teens.

    His family is much more conservative than mine and I used to be really nervous to be myself around them. (I can be sarcastic and dry humored sometimes.) But since we got engaged his grandparents have definitely made more of an effort to talk to me and include me in stuff.

    I’d say I have a good relationship with my in laws. They aren’t as outwardly friendly and overly lovey dovey like my family so in the beginning I thought they didn’t like me lol. But now I see they treat me just like one of their own and that’s how they love so I meet them where they are. I call his parents mommy and daddy and they call me their daughter.

    We are super lucky. My parents adore him, and I have an excellent relationship with his family. I've spent time alone with his mother, and his sister is a good friend (sadly she lives out of state or we would totally hang out a lot lol). We've been together for 6 years, and his family has always made me feel truly welcome.

    For some reason my in-laws like me, ha! We don't talk to my husbands side much as they are not really family oriented but we make it a point to see his grandmother every few months. I've been told I'm her favorite.

    My family enjoys my husband. My father is very happy with him and so is my mom. He has to grow on my brother, which I wouldn't expect to be any other way.

    Decent, not amazing. I'm extremely shy & awkward though so that probably contributes lol. My family loves my FH though, I'll take it lol.

    My relationship is good. I mean they cried and were happy when we got engaged. They are nice people and I'm happy that they will be my in laws. I guess my only issue is how they treat my fiance at times, but nothing detrimental. Iean, I just had major oral surgery today and FMIL changed her flight back to Florida to help take care of my and dog.

    Im in the same boat as you. A couple years ago I kinda flaked out and broke up with FH (boyfriend at that time) and although we were only split up about 2.5 months, he says they were constantly like "Oh, she's a good girl, she'll come around, she loves you" etc.
    I have a 10 yo son and they're SO sweet to him. They were so excited when we got engaged and have been super supportive.
    I just hope one day Im that good of an in law.
