[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH comes from a huge family where everyone lives near each other. They never really left their home state. I was offered a promotion at my job which would take us cross country. We were only married for a year, no kids. We announced we were moving to another state and ILs unleashed full anger, accusations, lots of f bombs instead of congratulating us. Accused me of splitting up their family. Fast forward 12 years. We still in that other state. DH has not spoken to his parents ever since. Our 2 kids never met them. His siblings reached out but DH was so hurt, he calls them maybe 2-3 times a year. [/quote]

Whoa. If this was the only major conflict/issues, I would try to reconcile after 12 years, TBH.[/quote]

Np. If I wasn’t also living through this then I would totally agree with you. Truly, though, it probably wasn’t the first time they’d displayed that kind of entitled behavior and when people are that nasty and hostile I don’t think the relationship can ever go back to what it was before they showed such disrespect. If they couldn’t bring thselves to be polite or civil then they should have remained silent instead of resorting to verbal abuse and emotional blackmail. In our case, the behavior was so egregious it shattered any desire to be around them, ever. [/quote]
