| We talk everyday or every other day on the phone, we video chat, and text frequently. I do this with friends and family in another country. We visit several times a year, and they also fly in to visit us, too. |

| We don't really worry about it. They're DH's relatives and after a couple of years of trying we decided we strongly dislike them. So we see them once or twice a year and don't worry about the other time in between. |
