[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Disconnected family. Not necessarily estranged, just independent and self sufficient. As an orphan myself, I have a really hard time dealing with the expectations and outright demands of DH’s family (holidays, living locations, access to my life, access to my kids, etc). [/quote]

You'd think your being an orphan would make it logistically much easier to spend holidays with his family and would feel supportive and loving.[/quote]

NP. Disagree. I usually dated men with disconnected families for this reason. I am not an orphan but I can relate. I do not like all the family stuff. Unfortunately, I married someone [b]so close to his family that I was always last[/b]. I am divorced. The best part is that I never have to see them anymore.[/quote]

Always last and always told that my personal traditions don’t matter because his family has traditions. Okay, so what? I spent decades building my own Christmas traditions and my own Thanksgiving traditions. It would be okay if it was a 50/50 time split between mine and his, but him and his family always treat it as “she has no family so there is no reason we should not get everything.”[/quote]
