[quote=Anonymous]My mom is nuts. My DH I think plays it right but I guess its also about knowing your spouse and what they need.

He is 10000% supportive of whatever position I take in a situation. He will not even consider acquiescing to anything even vaguely controversial that my family suggests without confirmation from me that its ok. He is there for me and supportive when I am emotional or sad about terrible things that they do. And on very very rare occasions that we have some large public fight and they cross a line he has stepped between them and me and said that the altercation needs to end or we are leaving. He has also made it clear to me (and I fully agree) that if they  pull this level of crap in front of our kids that we walk immediately and perhaps permanently and my mom knows this.

So essentially, he privately has informed me of his own limits, allows me to set the tone and make almost all the calls, but steadfastly supports. But he would never intervene unless he felt like I was in crisis because he knows that it would just make things worse for me for him to be the cause of additional conflict.  [/quote]
