[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think PPs who say model those relationships with your own in laws are spot on. If DS sees you discount your MIL, speak badly about her, resist spending time with her, etc., he will think that’s normal if his future wife does the same to you. I’ve seen this cycle in families, unfortunately. But the opposite is also true. If DS sees you caring for your MIL and making an effort to have a good relationship, speaking kindly about her, he’ll expect the same behavior from any woman he marries. [/quote]

Stop.
Making.
IL/Parental Relationships.
About. The. WOMAN.

If you have a good relationship with your son, then it will be good NOW, it will be good after he graduates/moves out, it will be good as he moves through his career, it will be good if and when he gets married or partners up, it will be good if he stays single, it will be good if he is gay, straight, bi, or whatever.

A woman has little to do with YOUR relationship with YOUR SON. If you want a good relationship with your son, all your kids, actually, foster it. Now and later. Regardless of whether he dates or marries a woman.[/quote]
