[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with you in 90% of cases but sometimes it is the DIL/SIL who is actively trying to reduce contact or family vacation time. Like the son/brother will be on the phone and she’ll pull him away for something trivial (which is okay if it’s occasional, but not if it’s constant). Or the son/brother wants to visit, but she’s “in charge” of the social and vacation calendar and there’s no room to see the ILs. Again this is not common but it is true for some families.[/quote]

If a man is so hapless and disinterested in seeing his family that he can be “pulled away” from phone calls with them on a consistent basis, and entirely cedes responsibility/power of scheduling and logistics to his wife, then he is…wait for it…just not that into you. If he wants to call/stay on the phone, he will. If he wants to make plans to vacation with you or visit with you, he will.

If I ever tried to monopolize the calendar/plans to the point where we didn’t see my husband’s family, he’d notice and put a stop to that. Sorry you apparently have or know of a hapless/disinterested husband, brother or son. But none of that is the wife’s fault.[/quote]
