[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you got married, how much did you really think about marrying into your spouse's family?

Were you happy about joining your spouse's family? Or did you just think that you can be married to your spouse without having to deal with his/her family? [/quote]

Not enough. I thought it would be an issue because her family lived very far away (thousands of miles) and we only saw them 2 or 3 times in 13 years.... but.... what I learned is you can take the wife out of the family but you can't take the family out of the wife... she could not get past some of her childhood experiences... remained angry with her mother and her boyfriends and projected that anger onto the nearest man (me). Where the spouse comes from is very important. They are a product of their childhood. I lean towards the thought that families should be "matched" i.e. equal in many ways.... (traditions, moral attitudes, income, etc.) just makes understanding each other easier.[/quote]

IL'S make tons of inaccurate statements and assumptions about me. It would be easier to just get to know us. [/quote]
