If your spouse does not like your family...

[Anonymous]

If your spouse doesn't like your family and he is keeping you from contacting them then he is trying to isolate you and set you up for abuse. If this is the case, get the heck out now. It's only going to get worse.

If he doesn't like your family but plays nice when they visit you/you visit them, then you should be able to have an open discussion about the issues at hand. If this is the case, then try to talk. If he doesn't want to talk then try couples counseling to see if you can work on the issue. And by "work on the issue" I don't mean "Force him to be around them" but try to figure out why he doesn't like them. The issue could be with him, or it could be with your family and you just don't see it. I hope this is your scenario becuase it has a much better chance of getting better.
