[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would keep it simple.  "In laws Appear to have issues with people of other races.  They were pretty brutal towards me before DH and I got married.  Here is how I dealt with it"

Him"Well they seem to like you now. How did you get them to change?"

You:  "well, I guess they realized they were stuck with me and had to get over it"

What I WOULDNT do is get into anyThing regarding pedigree.  While I totally get why you included it here, if you said this stuff IRL it would be obnoxious. [/quote]

I like this approach.  I'd only say something b/c he pointedly asked you why the IL's are jerks.  It could come back to bite you though if the relationship ends and word gets out that you clued him in[/quote]

OP here:  My concern about this approach is that it risks giving him false hope.  They came around with me because they saw dollar signs (and comments they have made over the years have reinforced this).  He is not a rich man and while I find his job respectable and interesting, he is unlikely to make a lot.  [/quote]
