| How, how often and how deep do you interact with your GF parents? |
| Do you call or text them, if they send a gift or just rely on your GF/BF to relay your thank you? |
| If someone gives me a gift I thank them directly. I don’t relay the message through someone else. |
| Married 20 years. Still write my own thank you notes to husband's parents. |
| Are you the BF asking? Or the parent wondering what's ordinary? If you are the parent, have acceptance of whatever the actions/relationship is. If you are the BF, please write personal thank you s. Be careful though re:getting too enmeshed into the family unless the two of you know you are going to make this relationship permanent. |
| As little as possible tbh. Fortunately they live out of town. |
