Stick up for me how? By forcing people who don't want to meet me meet me? :) Not sure I want to be in a situation like that. But I also don't want him to cut off relationship with his parents and siblings. Don't want to live with that type of sacrifice made in my name. [/quote]

I'm not sure what a good compromise here would be, but it would certainly be really weird to me if I never met my in-laws and DH went on vacation with them once a year and just never mentioned me. I would feel like I didn't matter. [/quote]

Sure it's weird and inconvenient but bottom line is do you want to stay with your partner/husband because you can't imagine living without him? If yes, then his odd relatives come with the package. [/quote]

Hmm. I guess I would ask my husband if he loved me enough to confront his family. It would be weird to me if he continued their relationship as if nothing was different and I just didn't exist. [/quote]

What good that confrontation will do to you personally? He'll spend a lot less time with them because you exist. [/quote]

I'll be honest. I'd expect nothing to change from the confrontation, but I'd feel a lot better knowing that in his eyes, his family's attitude towards me is change the relationship between him and then. I'd be uncomfortable if everything was the same, minus some logistics. [/quote]
