Re: your experience being “welcomed” by your inlaws
I know what you mean, I’ve been friends on facebook with my future SIL from before I started dating her brother. But my fiance’s family including his cousins are very close, my fiance went on and on at me that I have to make an effort, but they were so unsociable, eventually I had to get my mum to intervene and explain to my fiance that until me and him are married it’s not my responsibility to go out of my way to make an effort with his family. Weirdly enough, my cousins are friends on facebook with his cousins after meeting each other, only 3 times, when they’ve met me loads more times. But I try to remember that for now it’s not a big deal
Re: your experience being "welcomed" by your inlaws
Wait a sec. You're only engaged. You're not family yet. When I was engaged I hardly spoke to my sister in laws or mother in law. The occasional hi, hello at Eid or birthdays. I spoke to my fiance on the phone every two weeks for half an hour. I didn't even go to the house lol! First time I saw my home and room was the day of my wedding (technically night we got home at 2am)
I only started having a relationship when I got married and started living with the in laws. And alhumdulillah its a good relationship. My SILs are younger than me so they were a bit shy and reserved, didn't know how to act, but all good now :)
Chill dude. Nothing to worry about.
