[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My family of origin is a hot mess. My husband can overlook this partially because my husband is a kind person. But, it is also much easier because I have a ton of boundaries with them. I would never vacation with them, etc. My husband sees them in small doses of a few hours 6 times a year with maybe one of those extending to an overnight. None of them interfere in our day to day lives.

And my family is “high functioning toxic” which means they aren’t going to make some big scene or insult someone to their face and mess up Easter brunch. If they ever did something like that, I would never see them again.

That said, we had some early fights in our marriage because my husband wanted me to “be the bigger person” or “extend an olive branch.” My husband needed to just stay out of it. I think he now knows that his proposals on these points were naive.[/quote]

I am a woman who wrote earlier about my husband having crazy ILs. I’ve always wondered whether the dynamic is easier when women are the ones who come from the difficult family.[/quote]
