[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We met in undergrad. Dh is Bangladeshi. His mom has lived with us permanently since my son was born 3 years ago. 
He's an OB/GYN and the lifestyle ( especially during residency) has been so hard. Dh does get loud and that bothers me. He's a great father. He still to this day cuddles with our son while we co sleep all night. It's so so cute. He did lots of night feedings when ds was a newborn. I have never caught him staring at other women. He's very committed to me. Overall I am happy with my life. [/quote]

See, what I can't handle is the MIL aspect. Either yours is the exception and actually respects boundaries, or you are an easygoing sort of saint. In-laws cause huge problems for us.

Mine is from an Asian country. He wanted to break away from the hive mentality, and he found me, who dances to her own tune, even by American standards. We've had to communicate and deconstruct the ingrained beliefs and attitudes that our cultures give us, and be understanding, trying to take the best of each side. [/quote]

I actually love my mil.  My mom passed away when I was young and she's like a mom to me. My grandmother lived with my family growing up so I've been used to this set up. I have 4 American and a few Europeans friends married to Bangladeshi guys and they have all had an easy time with in laws too. I think my situation with my husband is unique. His mom is a widow and my grandmother was a widow as well. We are very close with them and it makes sense to have them stay with us.
