Do your parents get along or hang out with your SO parents? Let me start by saying ours get along, but don't do much besides when we're all together.

Do your parents get along or hang out with your SO parents? Let me start by saying ours get along, but don't do much besides when we're all together. FH is upset bc he feels our parents don't do anything together and feel as if they should. I totally get it, but then I also don't see what the big deal is? I get that 2 families are merging, but it's really tearing up FH.

    Ours get along great thank God! We took them out to see our venue together and to eat as well. It was a day well planned and a success. Everyone clicked which was a bit of a surprise for us but am not complaining!

    My parents have never met FH parents and we have been together for 3 years and know each other for 7. His parents live about an hour away and don't want to travel that far for the wedding, so they will not be attending. Who knows if they will ever meet my family and we're both okay with that. The relationship is between you and your FH, not your families. If they get along and want to spend time together that's great, but if they don't then its not up to you to force it or get twisted about it. Now if they were at each others throats, that's a situation that would need attention. We're all adults and we're all different, those are decisions that they should be making. If the shoe were on the other foot how would your FH react if it was your son or daughter getting married forcing you both to spend time with their SO family? Might be a good way get the point across to FH.
