In laws

Jasmin, on April 7, 2020 at 2:28 PM Posted in Married Life 0 9
Hey everyone! I need some advice. I’ve been married for a month and a half and I feel like I’m dreading it already, I feel like my husband doesn’t understand me and I’m also having issues with my in laws because they don’t seem to care about my feelings.

    It's hard to give any advice with such vague information, but marriage counseling is always helpful.

    What is the context behind him not understanding you? Without any situational awareness...we cannot really give advice or offer perspective.

    Hi Jasmin, I’m sorry you’re feeling this way and it’s definitely such a difficult time to live in while starting your first month of marriage with the added stress of what’s going on with the nation. I think clear communication helps and I’m sure you partner wants to understand you but it may feel hard to help him when you’re already feeling so low. Have you tried maybe writing down your biggest concerns before you approach him so your conversations about what troubles you are more focused and meaningful. Sending positivity your way, stay strong!

    Aw i'm sorry to hear. you know getting married for some couples means having a new dynamic they need to get used to. as PP suggested, counseling is not a bad idea. also about your in laws - sometimes i feel like those relationships take time to develop. i don't think i really got to a great relationship with mine til later because they didn't really know me much.

    Without knowing all of the details it’s hard to give any advice but I would definitely suggest counseling. I’m sure they can help you.

    My Mother in law craves attention! It doesn't matter if it's positive or negative attention she will go above and beyond to get it. She has made some snide comments and done some not so nice things to me. I have a little bit a resentment towards her but I am learning to forgive and move forward even though I know she will not apologize to me.

    Hi, and I'm so sorry you're feeling this way.

    If you hadn't had a close relationship with your in-laws before, this can be a period of adjustment. We'd need more details to give you better advice, but we're all here to help.

    The best way to handle a lot of things is through counseling. DH and I did couples' counseling before we got engaged, and it strengthened and deepened our relationship in so many ways.

    I'm sorry you are feelings this way. As many PP'ers have mentioned, it is hard to give exact advice not knowing the full story. How long were you and your husband together before getting married? Did you have any type of relationship with his family before getting married?

    My advice is to be honest with him about your feelings. Tell him you feel like he does not understand you, be ready to give examples and talk it out. I would start with the issue between you and your husband and mend that before even mentioning the issue with his family. Some people do not take kindly to people talking ill of their family. Good luck!
