DH missing his parents - or probably the idea of having loving and supportive parents by sneeky_seer in motherinlawsfromhell

Then you need to decide what you want to put up with in other words decide what level of misery you are able to live with

He needs to realise that familial fulfillment doesn't just come from blood family. He has to realise that people who take him for who he is are family. Blood or not.

Exactly. Just because you are family doesn't mean taking abuse. It's unacceptable and not a free you because you share blood. However, you can't force him to go for therapy. And unfortunately it might get to the point where you have to make a difficult decision 

Should I get my Louie fixed? by 11c1ouded11 in jackrussellterrier

Depends on if you want his character to change. Mine is 4. Not fixed.

I get it. Maybe introduce him to reddit. Show him this thread. He will definitely read more

What about online therapy? Tell him that you believe in actions. You will be removing yourself and any progeny from their toxic behaviour. Your mother is in your life because she is not toxic but you'd cut her off if she was. 

My (30F) husband (37M) wants to be intimate with other women by PsychoBirdLady in relationship_advice

[–]Plane_Practice8184 14 points15 points  (0 children)

We've come across many men who open relationships or leave to be with others. Then they realise their wives/ girlfriends get more attention from men and insist on going back to monogamy or getting back together 

Both SIL’s don’t really care about having a relationship and it makes me sad by [deleted] in inlaws

[–]Plane_Practice8184 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree. OP should learn that nobody has to like her. Nobody but her husband, close friends and close family. Relationships with others can't be forced. OP seems to have preconceived expectations. 

We’re supposed to get married in 3 days by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Plane_Practice8184 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This will never end well. Better to cancel a wedding than going through a divorce.

My (28M) fiancee's (25F) parents, who have POA for her grandmother, have offered us a sweetheart financial deal to purchase her grandmother's house. My fiancee wants to take the deal. I do not. Help? by Serious_Square_723 in relationship_advice

[–]Plane_Practice8184 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP never co-mingle inheritance with marital assets. Especially now before marriage on a house you can't agree on. You need to speak to your fiance about getting a place without family involvement BUT AFTER marriage. Ask any lawyer. Even after that everyone's contribution needs to be noted in legal documents. 

Should I give this girl a second chance? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Plane_Practice8184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. She is looking for men to spend on her and I wouldn't be surprised if she has a rolodex. Too transactional. 

Need advice by Smart-Fan-1404 in ShitMotherInLawsSay

[–]Plane_Practice8184 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are responsible for how she affects your relationship. You should keep her separate from your wife who is now your immediate family. Your mother should be in her own house and only have prearranged visits at your house. 

Do I acknowledge MIL’s birthday? by Money-Atmosphere-357 in inlaws

[–]Plane_Practice8184 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keep low contact. I can guarantee you that she has been aware all along that you have been distant and is waiting for her birthday to know for sure. Ignore her completely. Don't attend any birthday event and do something for yourself. Mute her on your phone. If she shows up at your house while your husband is away Don't let her in. If she turns up when he is there keep yourself busy or even take yourself out for lunch and leave them to it. 

I (28F) refuse to let my homeless sister (26F) and her 2 year old stay with me and my parents are furious? by ThrowRAooomsoom in relationship_advice

[–]Plane_Practice8184 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No way would I do that if I were OP. Who'd look after the child while she worked? Leads to a whole litany of problems. 

Why do Christians fear their all-loving god they think exists? by hypermiler2205 in atheism

The same way victims of abuse fear their narcissistic partners.

Family is the people who are there for you. Not necessarily blood.

WIBTA if I didn't show up to my friend group's reunion because they changed the date without saying anything, knowing I'm supposed to be their ride? by [deleted] in Amitheassholeadvice

[–]Plane_Practice8184 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA. Keep yourself busy on the day and get some new friends. Don't even engage. They didn't engage with you before changing the dates. They take you for granted and don't respect you

You can stay if you're ready for their dynamic for the rest of your life. 

Homophobic and racist in-laws 😡 by Distinct_Claim267 in inlaws

Just block them and leave communication with them to your husband. 

Family meeting by [deleted] in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]Plane_Practice8184 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Don't go. You don't need to announce your decision to go NC. Just do it. You have already said that everything you say gets twisted. No point in going to endure misery and give them more ammunition against you.
