[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they aren't married but definitely THE ONE, what's the extent of your interaction with them? Do you invite them on family vacations? Are they part of holidays? Are you friends with their parents? Do you send them gifts? Do you feel the love for them like you feel for your own children? [/quote]

LOL it totally depends on the personality of the SO, doesn't it?  [/quote]

Yes. One can be a sweetheart and other ice queen so be mindful of how much space they need.[/quote]

And the same thing once they're married.  Three of our kids are.  One has a spouse who is basically another one of our kids; the other has a spouse who is somewhere in the middle; the third has a spouse who is perfectly fine and in fact prefers having nothing to do with us.  We don't care at all and don't take it personally, because that's just the way they are.  All we care about is whether they're good to our kid, and all three spouses are.  That's the key.  So, yea, we invite them to holidays and vacations and aren't offended when they say no.  We absolutely send gifts to all.  And we're friendly with but not friends with any of the parents.[/quote]
