Inlaw question...long Thu, 06-12-2003 - 12:45pm I also posted
this under the Dealing w/Inlaws but someone here might have some
insight on this issue.  My husband and I have been together for
over 5 years now but married only 3-1/2. From the beginning his
parents have loved me and accepted me immediately into the
family. It took a while for his brother (who he is very close
to) and SIL to come around but eventually they did. His sister
and I have always gotten along.  Well...several months ago I
began to have some issues with my husband and our marriage. I
wasn't happy and didn't know what to do. My husband is very anal
about things and I'm very laid back. I always felt like I had to
walk around on eggshells or he would get upset. Naturally, this
wasn't healthly. This was a very hard time for both my husband
and I but we've been to counseling and have learned to
communicate with each other and things have gotten so much
better. We're actually happy.
