    Do you think it is better for a newly wed couple to live away for the infuence of each others family?

    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.

    That is one of the many sad things about marriage break-ups. The relationship with "the outlaw" often can't continue for a whole lot of reasons.

    No kidding. thank you for understanding. I still miss my in-laws and it's been since 1978!

    Such a shame - quite often even if they are upset with the breakup and still like you they feel they cannot continue the relationship with you - all so strange and of course this loyalty factor comes into it which is often so misplaced.

    I am very good friend with my ex sister in laws... They have my nieces and nephews.... I knbow it might be uncomfortable for my in laws ans brothers but The kids should feel included.

    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

    Welcome to Texas........

    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.

    They have not got any option the cost of living is so expensive the house market well everthing really is just too expensive people are unable to manage

    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.

    Good job, I wish my husband had done the same.

    I hope you did it politely, better to not sink to their level.

    Mom mom visisted after my son was born and said the N word.. I told her my son would not be exposed to hatered.. And told her she needed to leave... (she was not being ugly, it was just the way she was raised, the term was common place when refurring to a black person.)

    I don't tolerate that language in my home either. I do business with Jews, blacks on a regular basis. I have issues with a few whites that I know.

    MOST  DEFINITELY !!!!!!!

    Keep away as much as possible and bonk each other senseless everyday or at least till your worn out be friendly toward your inlaws though

    Jenn

    I have been married for 17 years.. but I know that if we could not have made it with the "advice" his parents were always throwing our way.... I just see so many couples moving in with the parents..

    Let everyone make their own mistakes.  I offer no opinion to any of my kids choices. It's their life I just wait to be asked for an opinion.  You just got to let it be.

    Absolutely.
