[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Although its often talked about in a joking, fact of life, kind of way, my former in laws did actually destroy my marriage. They constantly put ex dh in the middle and I slowly but surely started resenting the lack of will power he had when it came to defending me. For the first 2 years they were annoying, the 5 years after that they were a constant burden, the final 2 years they were the nail in the coffin.  I tried to wait till they died but didn't have it in me anymore. My oldest dd, who is now in college, told me a couple weeks ago that her boyfriends parents were kind of strange and made her feel unwelcomed, I burst into tears immediately. I cannot imagine my daughter feeling an ounce of that pain. I will never, ever, ever treat my children's spouses like I was treated.[/quote]

So, what I gather from this, is that maybe when people say their in laws make their marriage miserable, they really mean the way their spouse reacts to how the in laws treat them is the real problem? Because it seems that if your husband (or anyone's) actually took up for you and took your side and demanded the in laws respect you or keep their distance, things might have been okay. Would it be safe to say that in your situation, you might could have handled the in laws' behavior if only you felt your husband genuinely attempted to stand up for you and demand they treat you better?
