[quote=Anonymous]My DH handles his family.  He does the gifts for his family, he initiates the visits, he phones them.  His mom tried to get me to do it, but I was very clear that wasn't going to happen from early on.  My DH was also on my case about it, now that I remember.  He said that's how marriages work, lol.  I laughed so hard.  No way.  Part of it is that I am introverted and don't even talk to my own family unless there's a reason.  But since I refused, my DH handles his family just fine.  No issues.  And it's halfway on *them* too.  His dad is very communicative-- asks about the girls, calls him to schedule visits, is very proactive.  His mom does not as much.  And therefore she is not as involved.

Step back and let go of the guilt.  Your husband is an adult and can handle it just fine.

*side note-- that now that we have been married awhile and I know his parents better, I of course will reach out and talk to them if I want/need to.  I text with his family and such.  [/quote]
