Yes, definitely. Although, it's mostly my MIL.
My family can be annoying but I can ignore most of the stuff they say. I wish the DH could ignore some of the stuff his mom says.
I voted "Almost Never"....with that being said they don't cause us to have full-fledged fights. There are times when they nag and nag and nag him and I lose it and tell him that he needs to stand up for himself. We get snippy with each other because I feel as though I need to constantly remind him that he is a full grown man and not a kid anymore....
Other than that, they are wonderful. His mother and I have a great relationship. Just came back from a long weekend on the beach with her. :)
I voted "not once". I can't recall a single instance where they did/said something that made FI and I fight. My FIL's are pretty awesome.
@missfroggy: I do that often too. (Remind my fiance he is an adult, and not a child.)
yes! it totally frustrates me when they still treat him like a child! but we get on quite well really
I said almost never, because we rarely fight about anything the inlaws say or do, except for one thing...
"When you get a house, we'll..."
I hate it, because both of his younger siblings have bought houses in the last 2 years, but we're choosing to not buy for another 2 (until he's out of school). It's really frustrating, because it's like we're not good enough. What if we never bought a house? What if we move to a big city and live in apartments the rest of our lives? We have plenty of money to buy a home now, but we know that we don't have time for the upkeep it would require (and we don't know where we'll be in 2 years).
I just want to strangle them every time it's said...
Nope. Never. I once dated a "mamas boy" and it was terrible. His parents totally came between us. But my husband is always always on my side no matter what, and his parents know it. So-- no fights.
My FI's parents are pretty dang awesome. They are the opposite of naggers and hoverers. They just let us do our thing and support every decision we make! I consider myself pretty lucky because I have girlfriends whose in-laws are absolutely ridiculous and they get into huge fights with their hubbys over it. Feel so bad!
Nope. We stay out of their business and they stay out of ours. I'm sure his mother would like to know the details and have her say, but she keeps to herself. It's the way I like it. I don't believe it's anyone's business.
Now my mother on the other hand... she'd be the first to chip in her two cents.
Yep - although, it wasn't until recently. My FI is so laid back and very much a peacekeeper and I get incredibly frustrated when he doesn't confront them on certain issues. But I know he always has my back and we've set boundaries for them and so far, they seem to be respecting them.
Nope! I'm very lucky in that regard. They sometimes frustrate the hell out of him, but it's never about US.
I put "almost never" because they don't usually cause us to have fights with each other, but they do sometimes cause us to get frustrated with each other. Mainly it's the FMIL, but luckily, since we've started wedding planning, FI has realized how much she butts in and has tried to put a stop to it. Before he would get a little irritated with me when I said something about her, but he's seeing it with his own eyes now and isn't too pleased. lol
My MIL is the opposite of the stereotypical MIL. She goes out of her way to let us do our thing and not be pushy. It's awesome, I got lucky!
Absolutely not, thank god. Apparently my parents suffered through that kind of insanity, though, with my paternal grandmother who was batshit crazy. Thankfully she died before I was born.
Our arguments actually come not from his parents, but from his sister. She's a selfish, immature, blunt person and it caused a lot of hurt feelings early on in our relationship. I was upset about the rude comments I'd hear from her on nearly every trip to their house, and he was in disbelief that she would say these things or "mean it that way" so it caused an unfortunate amount of fights; I battled with not wanting to go home with him, and with him wanting me to spend time with his family and not wanting to believe that his sister was such a terrible person. It's gotten better but it makes me angry to look back and see how much turmoil she caused in our relationship.
Luckily, my in laws live 1000 miles away, but even if we were closer, I don't think they would cause us to fight. My parents, however, have unknowingly caused fights between DH and I. Not that my parents do anything wrong, just DH and I have disagreements about certain things that have to do with my family.
i vote almost never. my fiance and i will be building a house and they seem to want to have input on what we do and such but i remind my FI that we are the ones living there not them and its what WE want. they seem understanding. We actually will be moving next door on some land we bought but we all get along well!
My in-law's were sort of instagaters when I lived with both them and DH a few years ago (before we were married). But now, they do everything in their power to stay out of it.
Nope! The four of us (FMIL, FFIL, FI, and me) actually get along GREAT and spend a lot of time together traveling and hanging out.
I voted almost never b/c it's really not my inlaws that cause any issues. Every once in a while his dad might say something that bothers me, but he's pretty good about handling it.
My mom definitely causes some issues between us. My mom is very overbearing and tries to force herself on us which is never cool. My husband usually handles her like a champ, but there have been times where her actions have caused tiffs between us.
