[quote=Anonymous]I think people have really weird expectations of how things should be when they get married. Like you and your spouse start a completely new life, and it's you and only you from now on. But that's not realistic, and I think pretty wrong. You get married understanding and accepting that the family is expanding and growing, and you are sharing your with your spouse - but you're not starting anew. Your spouse isn't going to change and you should not expect them to change just because you get married. Their family of origin is still a big part of their life. While the focus may change, you don't abandon that "old" part of yourself. Some of you have some really bizarre conceptions of how your spouses should change their birth family, just because you get married. When you get married to someone, you embrace and accept people for who they are, including the "baggage" (like in laws). If that's how things always are, you can't expect someone to completely change. [/quote]
