Does anyone have a relationship with their in laws, but their spouse does not?
Does anyone here have a spouse who is no contact with their parents but you still have a relationship with your in laws? If so do you have a healthy relationship with your spouse? Are children involved?
Edit with context:
Biggest overall reason for considering this- fear.
Two distinct reasons:
- There is a grandchild involved and my in laws have threatened to petition for grandparents visitation.
I don’t want a court mandating any kind of visits.
There are family members we would like to have a relationship with and keep in our lives, but they avoid seeing us because it would mean my in laws getting angry at them. My in laws only want a relationship with our child now, they don’t care to have a relationship with us, so it might just be easier to give them some kind of limited relationship if it meant we wouldn’t be isolated from the rest of the family. I be willing to be the person to make that happen, my husband cannot.
I want to hear from other people’s experiences and if this is possible without souring your relationship with your spouse. This has been one of my main concerns, I wouldn’t our relationship to suffer, and ultimately our child’s, to make his parents happy. I just want to hear if anyone else has gone through this.
