Let sleeping dogs lie.

I don’t know why you think there is a problem here. They’re two introverts. They’re OK with not talking often. Why are you literally picking a fight over a non-issue?!?

+1. I’m a DW who talks to my parents about once a month. They are nice people, we just live separate lives. It’s not a problem for any of us. We see them once a year. DH stays out of it, but thinks it’s strange and somehow reflective of a poor relationship.

DH is very close with his mom and talks/texts with her multiple times a week. [b]He used to really encourage me to talk with his mom independently. I think he wanted her to be my substitute mom. I hated feeling like I had to talk to her to please him.[/b]  I eventually stopped.  I’d bet your husband is frustrated with you trying to dictate his relationship with his mom.  Everyone’s relationship is different and neither one is right or wrong.
