Who gets along with their in-laws?

[Winonesoon]

I've heard stories that are not good. I got lucky.

What say you?

I get along better with outlaws.

I get along great with my now in-laws (mother, sister, brother).

I was married for nearly 32 years when my wife and I divorced. I was always my former in-laws' "son", but as soon as my wife and I split I was nothing to them anymore even though the divorce was amicable (as much as a divorce can be). I felt it was BS because we were together for 34 years. That's left a bitter pill to swallow for me. I lost a lot of respect for them. I was part of their family, until I wasn't.

Who gets along with their family? I mean, it's kind of the same, to be honest. You have your ups and your downs.

wow, sorry. Sometimes you don't know the "true Blue" until it gets down a dirty. Congrats on the present.

A lot do and a lot don't. it's a beating heart of blending and personalities. "If" you get lucky you fall in the "OK" zone. I hope some of you are there.

I think it's like a regular family thing. You aren't always going to get along and you aren't always going to be in the dog house. I mean, if the marriage works, it's a very long relationship so it's impractical to think that it will always be great or terrible. If it is terrible, then probably a good chance that it isn't going to work.

I couldn't stand my first wife's mother. She was a miserable human being. I got along with her dad as long as he wasn't drinking.

I get along with my current in-laws but it's a lot different the 2nd time around for both of us.

I get along great with mine. Great people and we've been close for 24 years in March.

me too. It was very weird at first because my mother in-law would kiss me bye on my mouth. Now, I'm a hugger but, this was a little much for me. My wife just laughed and said "That's Linda" just deal with it. Now it's normal to me. Anyway, I'm blessed. Glad you are.

I've always had a great relationship with my in-laws, even after I got divorced. My mother and father in-law still invite me over all the time and my brother in-law asked me to be his best man at his wedding.

 

[Cowpolk]

My mother in-law was spiteful and impossible to get along with. Granny in-law was great

Sorry to hear.

That's amazing. I wished my former in-laws would have done that with me. I really liked my former brother-in-law, but it's water under the bridge now.

Both of my Wife's Parents have passed, my Mother-in-law 1 year ago. They were both very fine people and I really enjoyed their company. The rest of my In-laws are also easy to get along with and I happily attend social gatherings with them.

Life's good, thankfully.

I married the best of the bunch from my wife's immediate large family. My father-in-law has passed. Did not interact with him much while he was alive. My mother-in-law and him were not together. Our relationship was decent I guess.

My mother-in-law is a wonderful person as long as she is sober. She gets nasty whenever she is not.

Two of my brother-in-laws were very good folks before one passed from AIDS and the other from a cardiac arrest. They were still young men in their late 20s at the time. My two living brother-in-laws are hoots who have alcohol issues also but not as much as their mother.

I get along okay with two of my sister-in-laws. My best relationship is my wife's closest-in-age and younger sister. She has the best personality among my wife's siblings. It is hilarious how they pick at each other all the time about stupid stuff.

I think if you like your spouse's relatives, you should use "in-laws", but if you do not care for them, you should refer to them as "by-laws"

.. and if you really do not like them, you can refer to them as "only-by-laws"
