[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He's being two faced.  He's telling you he supports you, but he wants to spend holidays with his family.  He's really not supporting you.

He needs to grow up, but honestly, if you don't have kids and this is the way things are, I'd consider leaving him.

It doesn't sound like either one of you is very old.  Leave now while it's still easy.  Find someone else who is interested in cherishing you[/quote]

OP, hold your husband's hands and look him in the eye and tell him "I am *your* family. And YOU are *my* family. Above all else. Or else nothing else from here on out makes any difference."

Until he stops viewing his family of origin as "my family" instead of YOU, OP, this is going to continue to be a problem. If his family of origin can't play nicely with you out of respect for him and his choices, they don't get to spend holidays with him. Or any other time, either. They treat you poorly because he allows them to. He keeps coming back for more b/c "family..." But YOU are his family now, OP. YOU! They can be included on that if and ONLY if they are kind to his wife.[/quote]
