Your Partner's Family

I was curious how others have found their relationships with the families of past partners or spouses. Have they been successful?

Do you go out of your way to ensure the relationships are successful regardless of the individual so as to keep the family peace? Or do you respond according to each of the individual's behavior toward you? Have past partners impressed upon you the importance to them of you getting along with their family?

Had two serious relationship in the past and after we split up never heard from their families also. But I have had a good relationship with them, get along with the siblings well. Did not maintain communication with families. But maybe if my exes came from the same place with me, then maybe I will have communication with family, as our village it is not a big place for us to ignore each other. And will treat them civilize people.

Hi Leo - I think it quite unfair when pressure is put on by the family to marry. Obviously you are not one to be pushed around though, Rummy. What a horrible position to be put in where you would prefer to separate rather than contend with the mother.

I learnt that the smartest thing to do is make an effort to get on with the inlaws.. no matter what they think of you. Make an effort always ..thats the key to peace in a family. I have always been lucky my husbands family were far away mostly , but they respected me always , i was very grateful for that always. saskia

You can have a good relationship with them if you don't live with them.

I was only introduced to his kids as his parents already passed away. Since I didn't keep in touch with him, I didn't keep in touch with them either.

Hoping to have a good relationship with my future partner's family and hopefully he can have similar one to my family

I can say I have a good relation with my ex's family. Well we don't hang out since they live in another country (they are Indonesian but live in Melbourne and Spain). But one time his sister came with her family, they choose to stay with me instead of him. I am also still invited whenever they gather on christmas-new year's eve. We also still communicate through facebook, whatsapp and skype. I think of of the reason is because we have a son, so it's it's his family's way to get an update of their grandson and nephew.

Sas - I agree it is in everyone's best interest to make all reasonable efforts where in-laws are concerned and I think those that find themselves in impossible situations should really consider moving away from the negative influence of those bad relations. The yacht is starting to make perfect sense, Sas.

Laz - HA! I couldn't even begin to imagine what it might be like to LIVE in the same house as my in-laws. Oh goodness, perish the thought.

Hi El - That's sounds like a great way to bond with the old man. There certainly could be much worse ways to spend time - slide show or old Bob Hope movies anyone?

Hey Lachica - I think we all hope for good relationships with our partner's family, it surely can be a trial if it doesn't pan out that way. Hope life for you is good for you, Lachica.

Hi kenanga - If the sole reason for their interest is the son even that can be pleasant and it's kind of nice that they keep concern. Sounds like things are comfortable for you.

Hi ya Jules - I've artistic friends who have had trouble in the past (not suggesting that was your partners father's issue)with in-laws not regarding their career choice as legitimate. Pretty frustrating when a person is judged by their occupation.

Parti - The doomsdayers love a good series of natural disasters. Not sure if there are actually more of these types of events than normal, but it seems like it to me.

My 2 ex-mothers-in-law hated me. My 2 ex fathers-in-law were great.

The families were cool and so-so. I don't see them any more so I've never really thought about it even though at the time it was pretty hurtful since I never did anything to the women.

Partners? I never really met their families but I broke up with most of them because they couldn't accept my kids. They were jealous in some cases! Too bad because my children are very intelligent and successful in their careers!

Hi ya Ed - It's pointless getting jealous of another person's children the way I see it as there is no way you will win, and it is the surest way to drive the partner away. Why wouldn't you want to have a close as relationship as you could with the kids in the first place?

Better off without them sorts I'd say, ED.
