My hubby and I had minimal contact with our families after we got married..... If we needed money we had to deal with it ourselves.. if we had a problem in our relationship, it was between the 2 of us.... We have always onlt told our families about the bight and shiney thing in our lives. I see many couple who are "tied up" with thier parents and it seems to more often than not end baddly.

Hi Jenn, 5 years ago my husband and I moved to Texas to retire and be around his family. My family decided to do the same and now we are all here in Texas except for my older Sister. The first year was fun and games. The next 2 years were spent trying to get privacy back. The last 2 have been better because we have ALL learned our boundaries. So it has taken 5 years for all of us "Adults" to grow up enough to live peacefully around each other for the first time since we left home in our teens. The key is to keep your problems to yourselves but still be open about your life to your family. regards/yvonne57

My husband and I would never have made it if we hadn't moved away. My parents were politically on the left and his were on the far right. It wasn't a good situation for us.
We had to move away and learn how to speak of what was "bright and shiney" It was a marriage-saving move for us.

My first husband and I lived with my parents for three years, before I came to this country and we always had a great relationship with them. They were very supportive and stayed out of our business. When I came to this country, we lived with my in-laws for 6 month before we found our own place, not very far from them. I always had a great relationship with them also, especially my mother-in-law who became my second mother. I was very lucky to have had them in my life.

Left home at 16, married at 18. The last people I wanted to see at that time were my parents. The first visit my mother made to our apartment, she started to move pictures and furniture around because they were not to her liking. I escorted her out of house, and asked her not to return until she took a class in etiquette.
