[quote=Anonymous]Why are there so many people here who have problems with their SILs? This boggles my mind. I am South Asian. I had an arranged marriage.  I get along with all my relatives. I have favorites, but it does not mean that there are some that I hate or resent. I feel that in this country, where people mostly choose their own spouses, why do they make such error in judgements that they can't stand their MILs and SILs etc. 50% of the time they cannot even stand their DH.

I feel that in a situation like mine, where parents find the guy for you to marry, based on outward compatibility (Same race, same region, same religion,  same social status, same level of physical attractiveness, same education, same culture) etc. ,  there are more chances of not really getting along with ILs or DH.  But I see that people by and large get along.  I am shocked that here there is just such a dislike for the DH's side of the family. It is really hard to comprehend why. Did you not choose your spouse yourself? Did you not meet his family before?[/quote]
