[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A couple of years ago I was talking to a colleague, who is a marriage therapist. I mentioned to him my frustration: that my MIL and BIL have never asked me a question about myself (in 27 years!). No curiosity about how I grew up, my career, hobbies, etc. This has now extended to my kids, which I find even more bizarre. He said that in his experience (he’s in his 70s) this is very, very common. He said most in-laws show zero curiosity and he believes more marriages would be happier if everyone entered in marriage with very low expectations re their In-Laws. For whatever reason these reflections were helpful to me. Maybe they will be for others here…[/quote] Yes this is true. I talk to my ILs on important occasions and as long as they are pleasant to me (and my children) I do not care about anything else.[/quote]
