[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=soexcited123][quote=Anonymous]I go in the other room when I get any phone call- a friend, my parents, siblings, etc.  It is not so I can bad mouth DH.  It's so he can continue peacefully doing whatever he is doing without listening to me tell stories about things he was there for.  He does the same thing.  Why would he want to listen to me tell my mom about how we spent our Saturday when he experienced it too?  I also sometimes talk about sensitive subjects like my sibling with mental health issues.  I tell my husband about her but I feel my mom deserves the respect of a private conversation first.[/quote]

I do get that but once you marry isn't your family also his family? Why wouldn't your mom want her SIL to know about certain things? I would think most parents assume their child probably tells their spouse things.[/quote]

It's not that we are keeping things secret.  But ultimately she is my mom and sister, not his, so I feel as though I need to have the conversation with my mom first and then relay the relevant information to my DH.  I guess it boils down to people having different expectations in their marriages-  ours leans towards being quite independent of each other in these types of matters.[/quote]

That's fair. I guess I just feel differently that once married we are all family[/quote]
