[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP:

My fiancé is a good man, but I do worry about the homogeneity of his social circle. [b]His parents are rather unintelligent people who have no idea how to relate to those of other backgrounds, so I already know I will never be close to them.[/b] I also find his [b]friends tedious and parochial [/b](all raised in a small town and never left), while he likes my friends. I would like to hear more from those who made this work without being close to their in laws. Do you wish in hindsight you had married someone whose parents you and your kids could be close to? [/quote]

This does not bode well.

Once you have kids, this will go very badly.

Mark my words.[/quote]

Agreed.

OP - how close is he to his parents and friends? How often will you be expected to see them? If he isn't close now, do you think he'll get closer once there are kids? I know more than one guy whose view of the world was - I'm not close to my mom, we can see her 1x a yr. Yet once babies came, the guy became all about raising his child like HIS side of the family, not wanting the wife's parents to be the key grandparents which they usually are. [/quote]
