Have you ever fought with your husband or wife over in-laws?

All the time! well, it's not that we fight all the time, but the few times that we've fought are because of my abusive brother in law, a Royal Loser who totally takes advantage of his little brother (my husband) any time he has a chance (we are talking about money, cars, gas, food, toilet paper, phone, clothes, everything, you name it! One time he pawned our car a month after we paid it off, another time he lived in our house while we were on vacation without asking anybody! Instead of going to the grocery store he goes to my pantry, he uses our car when he has to "put miles" in it, he uses our phone so he doesn't use his minutes. ARRRGH!)...... and you know what the worst part is? that it's a lost battle for me, since family ties are stronger than anything in this world (at least for some people). It sucks!!!!!!!!




Yes but we don't anymore. It was more of an "early marriage" issue for us. We've worked through it and gotten past that! After a certain point, it's really pointless to argue over in-laws. The become less of an upfront problem and of a secondary irritant in comparison to the new family you and your spouse are building.




I used to dislike my father-in-law cause I thought he was too interfering and yes it did cause arguments, he was at fault too but then I tried to understand it from his point of views, dads are overprotective no matter if their daughters are 2 years old or 25, we've really made the effort with eachother to get along better and it's worked out best for everyone. It really does feel better just to apologize and start anew, life is too short for causing fights amongst family,

My husband fought with his parents over me. He felt his mother had disrespected me and he gathered up our family and left their home. As we were leaving his father threw in a couple of jabs like if we leave like that then don't come back. It took him and his parents a long while to work that one out. She was disrespectful, but I don't think she was smart enough to even know what she was doing.

LOL!! I'm sure almost everyone can say yes.





It's hard and it happens. To be fair, try to keep in mind they came before you in your spouse's life. We sometimes have issues over moms, but I try to remember this: this IS the woman that raised the man I love after all. As long as he remembers that the moment we got married I became #1 (and vice-versa), we are generally ok. Arguments make you grow as a couple as long as you remember the goal of an argument is to better an issue (aka find a bottom line and compromise)...not to fester in it.




My father in law is a nightmare, my husband and him only started speaking again about a year ago, my father in law says things that are totally out of line brings up the past which is unnecessary and makes my husband feel bad its all I can do not to snap.




Yes his are something else and now we don't talk with the SIS inlaws at all and we are both happier with this.




nope, but i've fought with the in laws about my husband. they purely suck ace.. can't stand them




Most every one does at some time or another.
