This was a huge contributing factor in the destruction of my first marriage. HE didnt like my family. He LOVED his. We had to go visit almost every weekend, he spoke to his parents daily. Yet to go visit MINE was like pulling teeth and never failed to end up in a huge fight. My parents, bless them, saw this with sadness yet they never said a word, never told me that I should divorce. But when I did they breathed a sigh of relief. Not to say that things were good otherwise - they were not. But this was at the top of the chart as far as negative aspects of the marriage.
If he is a good man, Im not leaving him because of his attitude problem with my parents. I will try to control the interaction though so there arent any altercations or issues between them.

That was my point. 90% (or may be more) of the problems can be solved by talking to each other and to concerned parties. It should not be as black and white as
"would you divorce your wife if your mom say" and replies like "i'd show such a men my middle finger" ....
If my man was good to me, i wudnt leave him, I wud talk to him and tell him how i feel, even if he had to fake liking them, Just to spare any negativity between us all.
Lets take it to another level. What if your man ask you to cut ties with your parents. How may of you will do? remember he is very loving , caring and kind to you ...
Why wud any guy who 'loves you and cares for you' Wud want you to cut ties with your parents?
Surly if he loves and cares for you he wud care for how you felt too. So obviously he doesnt care for you.
Is this supposed to be a counter question because it really doesn't make sense.
These mum's who ask their sons to divorce their wives do it on a whim (the kind PSq talked about), not because the wife is disrespecting them blah blah. It's completely irrational (as was MIAinVAs thread).
Now you're asking about something rational, where there is actual disrespect etc.
Think harder people, these threads are getting tiresome.
And whatever, like we don't all occasionally get irritable etc with our own parents. If you can't handle it from a son/daughter in law, don't live with them.
They might have had a phadda⌠in any case, Iâll try and talk him out of it. If he persists, I donât know
Iâll probably say fine, you donât need to meet them, let me talk to them over the phone at least. As is, Iâm already far far away from my parents
Well, unfortunately this happens quiet often in our society where the husband prohibits his wife in seeing her own family because her family and him don't get along. I have known someone who left her entire family for her husband. Missed her sisters and brothers wedding and even went to her own father's death like a stranger for couple of hours because of her husband's ego. He was always nice and caring towards her but has his differences with her family and didnot want to meet them. Although, now the husband realize and accepts his fault that he was unfair to her. But its too late because you can't bring back those times. I think some women who think divorce or leaving as not an option puts up with all this which is neither right or wrong.
So yeah it does happen and its pretty sad because I don't think a guy would ever leave him family for the same reasons.
