He ain't family yet.[/quote]

OP here:  Good point.  But wouldn't you want to be told what you were getting yourself into?[/quote]

Yup. And if I were you, I'd be worried about the guilt I'd carry once he does become family.

It can't hurt to broach the subject. Ask a few questions. You said he's looking for support. It would be incredibly unkind at this point not to respond to him. You can share your experience and insight. He can make his own decisions. It's not a betrayal to your ILs. But to keep silent would be a betrayal of your own values. You seem like good people. Reach out. You'll sleep better.[/quote]

Oh please...He needs to know what he's getting into as far as the daughter - she's the one he loves and wants to spend his life with.
Once that knot is tied and all courtesy obligations are null and void.  
If they're wanna act all frosty he can choose to not visit them and he can choose to not interact with them.  
He can even choose to open his mouth and say "F%k you too."
He's not "getting into" anything - he still has an array of choices.
