[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom once told me to try to avoid marrying someone who doesn't get along with his family. She said either that person is right and you'd be marrying into a family with difficult people OR the person you are dating is the difficult person. Either way it's bad news.

It was pretty good advice![/quote]

My Dh - who I started dating 25 years ago - got along well with his parents. We both adore his mom still, but his dad has become really angry and belligerent. Similarly my mom had developed memory / executive function problems. In both cases they can be hard to be around and we definitely complain to each other. I’m glad my partner and I can do this. In general my siblings married people that I don’t mesh well with and same with them / my DH. We do okay, but we’re very different. I fit the think this makes us difficult people, we just prioritize different things. I’d love to be closer, but we’re just not. I’m glad I have a spouse where I feel it’s easy to be myself rather than picking a spouse for smoothest family dynamics. [/quote]
