My husband doesn't like my family. He picks apart every little thing they do. He has nothing bad to say about his family who isn't perfect. I could accept the fact that he doesn't like my family if only we wouldn't throw it in my face everyday. He makes it very hard on meand my daughter who loves her Grandparents and cousins. It is tearing our marriage apart and I don't know what to do. Any suggestions would help.

My husband and I are both 34. I feel caught in the middle between him and my family. It is really taking a toll on me.

I'm glad you posted - shows you are still around and puts you on top. This makes it a better chance others will join in.

IMHO: First carefully read thru lovebusters - make sure you avoid them.

You should address this issue with H in a quiet non-emotional way. Simply let him know it huts you when he puts members of your family down.

Remember, short sweet and to the point.

Good luck -

Gema,

Do you think your husband may be jealous of the relationship that you have with your family? Just wondering, because my WH is jealous of my family, which caused me to miss out on a lot of family events because he would put up such a fuss about being around them.

Hi, I don't tolerate my in-laws well at all. So perhaps I can shed some light for your husband (I'll try). My in-laws treat my husband like a child, which ultimately trickles into our marriage. They don't respect him and they don't respect our marriage. I have (your husband should note) ceased from making comments or suggestions to my husband about his family. It only hurts him, ticks me off, and ruins our day. So, my approach is this. His family - so he can deal with them. I am cordial when I am around them, but I restrict my time so that I don't get ticked, my husband can visit with ease, and my in-laws can treat their son however they like. (so long as he leaves his ill-treatment at the door). Presently it's working.
