Should your in-laws have a say in your relationship?
IT’S your relationship, but for some strange reason your in-laws are always a part of every disagreement you have with your partner. It makes you wonder why your partner is taking your business outside of your relationship for everyone to throw their two cents’ in the ring.
There is nothing wrong with getting the advice of others, but when they become involved, it’s completely different.
Should your in-laws be involved in your relationship?
Simone:
I have a sister-in-law who is always dipping her nose in my marriage and it’s not so much just about her brother, but it’s also about my job, my kids, how I cook, everything, and it is putting a strain on my relationship. I have asked my husband to talk to her but talking doesn’t change much.
Garth:
I think people should do a better job at keeping their noses out of other people’s business, family or not.
Kim:
My family is like that, they do it out of love, but sometimes it can be annoying when you’re trying to figure things out on your own.
Anthony:
I had this issue with my girlfriend’s sisters. They had moved in with us and wouldn’t leave. Every argument we would have they would be in it, almost tag teaming me. One day I couldn’t take it anymore and just told them I wanted them out of my house. They haven’t spoken to me since, and now that my girlfriend and I are engaged, I hear them saying they aren’t coming to the wedding. It’s not a problem for me, two fewer mouths to feed at the reception.
Robert:
Family should keep their opinions to themselves. But it’s hard not to turn to family when things get rough.
