[quote=Anonymous]shrug. In the area where I grew up, the construct of "my aunt's husband" and "my husband's nephew" is the predominate norm. It does not in any way imply a lack of closeness or loving relationship, but it does make clear to outsider's who is blood related and who is not. Is "my aunt" my mom's sister or my mom's brother's wife? Only one way of describing these things makes the relationship clear. We also generally call our spouse's sibling's spouse exactly that. My sister in law is my husband's sister. Her husband I describe as my sister in law's husband, otherwise, how would anyone know whether he was my husband's brother. all for clarity, and I swear to god, this is completely normal where I come from. As in, the majority of people I know do it this way. I cannot be the only one.[/quote]
