[quote=Anonymous]OP, it's great you are thinking about this, but ASK YOUR DH! We don't know what he's like, but I am guessing he's trying to avoid conflict by not speaking up.

It also sounds like your dad/brothers are too dependent on you, and maybe you like that? It's great that DH feels close to them and they all get along, but you should consider seeing DH's family on some holidays, guilt-free. Do you have children? It's also nice for the nuclear family (you+DH+kids) to do something apart from the extended families (your dad/brothers and ILs) on some holidays.

If you think your dad/brothers can't have a holiday without you (or if they will give you guilt about it) then that is actually an indication that you should stop spending every single holiday with them. You all need to learn to live without each other, because eventually it will happen whether the reason is happy (marriage) or sad (death).

I know this is blunt but it's the easiest way for me to give you the message. Not trying to be snarky or rude![/quote]
