[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for your response. The thing is a don't think they feel more comfortable with me because 1) i am not Indian and 2) I have historically had a very acrimonious relationship with my MIL, which is now at the point of me just avoiding her as much as possible in order to not start a fight. That's why I'm perplexed on why they don't go to their Indian DILs house more often. [/quote]

15:21 here: You know my MIL and I didn't get along much in the beginning of our marriage.  But we've kind of gotten over that part of our lives.  Dh and I have been married for 13 years, we've had our ups and downs with my ILs, but in the end we still feel very much like family.  Perhaps that is how your ILs feel?

They know they've had their ups and downs with you, but in the end you are family, period.  Indians are very family oriented people and regardless of past issues they stick together because that's what family means.  You might not always get along, but you're  always there.

At this point, you've been married for 15 year's, I assure you they likely no longer care that you are not Indian- if they did they wouldn't spend time there.  Even if they don't act "warmly", they have accepted you and love you, that's why they are hanging around (we aren't very vocal or showy with affection).  It's their own weird way of showing it.
