[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't know if this holds true for you, but listening to friends and other posters on this site, I have a theory: Our in-laws bug us, because most of the things that annoy us about our spouse are traits that hold true for their entire family, but without the being-in-love factor to dampen our annoyance. Passive-aggressive, avoider spouse? Same with in-laws. Argumentative, irrational spouse? Same with in-laws. Inconsiderate, self-absorbed spouse? Same with in-laws. Just a thought.[/quote] Pp-I totally agree! And I've noticed that after my inlaws leave, those traits my DH has from them are much stronger. I guess they are reinforced. Over our 12 years of marriage we've managed to find compromise, but I always have to remind him of it after his parents leave. We always have our worst arguments after visits from his parents. Old patterns die hard.[/quote]
