Are you close with your future in-laws?

Oh wow sorry to hear that. I got lucky with good in laws. The first time our parents met they talked until 1am and just recently with the ice storm they had no power for 3 days so my parents invited them to stay with us.

I'm not close with mine but we seem to get along. We just don't live in the same city. Time will tell... lol

We don't even talk to either of our parents, and we are ok with that

I've known his family since I was five years old and I love my future inlaws. His mom was my librarian in middle school lol

Not close at all. I'm still cordial thou.

I am blessed to have amazing in laws! They even have their own room at our house (granted our house is technically owned by them). But honestly I don't think I could have gotten a better set. They've got their quirks but their awesome. My mom can be a handful, but FH handles her well.

My FFIL passed away a few years ago. He was such an awesome man and I felt close to him. He really made an effort to be part of our lives. I like my fmil, but I wouldn't say we're close. She lives in Florida and she moved there when we were having a really tough time because our daughter was in the NICU, and wasn't doing well. FH really could have used her support and she just wasn't there. I hold a little resentment for that but overall she is a nice woman and a good grandma .

My future in laws are freakishly similar to my own parents. They haven't each other yet, and won't until a couple weeks before the wedding. It'll be interesting to see if they get along or hate each other because of being so much alike.

Not at all. It is just his mom and sister and I have been nothing but nice to them but they are still resistant to having a relationship with me. They continue to invite the ex to their important events and leave me out. It really used to bother me because I lost my mom two years ago to cancer and my only sister lives out of state. It would have been nice to be close to them but oh well. I am now debating on should I even include them on the invite list to my bridal shower.

I really like FH's parents. We come from different world but actually have stuff in common. They are really nice and have since I was 18 welcomed me into their family.

My MIL and SIL live in Europe and FIL has already passed away.

I will meet MIL and SIL just before the wedding

Fh has a close family, a weirdly close family- they always seem to be up each others butts and in each others business. Im not a fan of that. His parents are nice enough, howeve the more i see his mom the more Im kind of changing that opinion. She seems to have a manipulative side. Im glad they live two hours away.

I am getting closer with his mom and sister. Do they drive me nuts sometimes? Ya. But I like them a lot. His dad only contacts me when he wants FH's schedule, and that bothers me. He has an answering machine, and I'm not it

I'm a lucky lady....I love my FILs and they love me. We hang out just to hang out. They're wonderful people. Due to distance and working out of state alot, neither of my parents has met my FFIL. They've met, and mutually adore, FMIL.

Yes! His family loves me and i love them

Except 1 that i don't like, she is messy and will remain messy by herself

Absolutely, I love them to death. Call them mom and dad. They twoof the most most generous, loving, giving people I know and I'm so excited to be their daughter. (Even though when FH and I were just good friends, they considered me one anyways.)

My FILs are also kind of different and their social skills can be ... different... as well. They're inconsiderate a lot and can be rude because, like you said, it's almost like they don't know any better. They also acted like I was just some random person living in FHs house for a bit and would walk in like they owned the place (we've lived together for 4 years). She would even go out and buy things like curtains for us without asking. Once we got engaged it got a little better, but it's hard because my FH is really close to my family because we live close to them and he's not afraid to be himself around them. His family lives far away and can be judgy so we walk on eggshells around them. Hoping it will get better once we're married! But I'm not holding my breath...

I am close to FH's dad and step-mom... I hangout with his step-mom, go shopping, and get pedicures together. They are very nice, but have some strict rules at their house and has made it hard some times but definitely no crazy stories like I've read on here.

His mom lives further away so it's been hard to establish a good relationship with her, but she's nice.

FH is one of 5 siblings. I get along with 3 of them... the fourth one is a nutcase and not welcome at our house any time in the near future.

Not at all.... they are sooo dysfunctional

I have known my in laws since I was 12, so for about 13 years. We get along great! FMIL is so involved and excited for wedding planning, it makes me so happy! We go out to dinner together a lot and have been on multiple family vacations. My in laws get along great with my family too and they come to my family parties. I also have a FSIL who is 20, but I've known her since she was 7, so she has always been like a little sister to me.
