[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you got married, how much did you really think about marrying into your spouse's family?

Were you happy about joining your spouse's family? Or did you just think that you can be married to your spouse without having to deal with his/her family? [/quote]

They seemed nice enough.  But during wedding planning, a few things came up, that made me realize how selfish, needy and not so nice the ILs can be, and that really shed light on their family; and the stuff they refuse to address. So there is that.  I suppose they did me a favor, in that regard.

Also, during wedding planning, I thought about toasts for some reason, and realized that the ILs don't know anything about DH and I to toast.  It made me kind of sad.

On the whole, they are extremely insular and odd, and don't bother with us much, and they make it clear they don't include us.  I have come to learn that my DH married someone opposite his mom for many good reasons.

I think the ILs matter as much as you let them, OP.[/quote]
