    This entry is to know "whether INLAWS are bad ?"

    I think this is a very biggest doubt of mine;
    let me tell u a small story that, y I’m doubting like tis,

    While i was doing my post graduation i got engaged with my DH & get married after the completion of my degree ,( ie) two years gap inbetween

    that are wonder days for me; not bcoz tat i was chatting with my wouldbe tru fone, but coz of my MIL,FIL & SIL (4 years younger to me)
    who were very very loving to me, keep on praising me for whatever I do, they showered their love for me like anything; i felt so happy & even my parents. I believed that my married life is just gona be so happy coz of my ILs, i believed them like anything , but sometimes i realized tat they are not respecting my parents which was hurting, but again wat i felt is my happy life will automatically make my parents feel good

    But wat happened is...................
    I got married, the very first day itself they started mistaking me, theycount each & every words of mine wrong, i basically very talkative , I used to speak with them as im with my parents, but now I’m keeping quiet ; it really hurts me a lot, im always willing to be good with them, I need their relationship, I truly love them, my brother in law (yielder brother of my DH , he is in USA) was good to me always, he used to advice me not to worry; be cool & keep being patient; but he is also not so friendly now a day’s…………….which really made me to worry a lot

    I do so many self analysis to find whether I’m doing anything wrong; so that I can correct myself & try to be good with them but they simply say tat I’m acting as sweet & good make my DH believe me good.
    I cried a lot with worry they says tat I’m creating dramas to keep my DH my side
    I spoke with my In-laws to fix the issue, they says that im speaking good but nothing in action;( I never quarreled even they have not scolded me much but my FIL used to write letters abusing me)
    I thought if once they got a grandchild thru me; they will be good to me, but thing still things are worse
    I totally fed up of all these, now I decided not to worry about this much

    But still I have some questions:
    1.Why they showed love to me before my marriage? & why not now?
    2.If they found me wrong somewhere why can’t they scold me to correct me, instead of hurting me by hating me?
    3.I believe that my In-laws are not bad, but y all these problems?
    4.I’m ready to forget everything to keep good bond with them (no expectation at all (i.e.) no Financial/Physical Dependency) why don’t they?
    5.After all I’m in my twenties where they are in their Sixties can't they forgive me, even if I’m wrong?

    I asked all these questions to my In-laws itself, even no improvement; I strongly believe that even they can’t be happy by hurting me like this, they want to have a good DIL for them that’s y they selected me & try to be sweet with me; but what is the issue now?

    (I have not explained any of the issue I faced with them, that’s a different story)

    How can I make them realize that how sweet I am?.how much I love them, how much I respect them, how much their son worrying abt tis issue ( even though he is tackling it well), how much it hurts my parents & my little sister ;whoever cares for me; I really really want to be sweet to them, I’m not acting & love them really coz they only happily arranged this marriage, they only gave my Loving DH for me ………..what else I can say ,

    WHO CAN EXPLAIN MY INLAWS THAT I TRULY LOVE THEM AS MY PARENTS AND ALWAYS NEED THEM TO BE HAPPY, I NEED THEIR BLESSINGS ALWAYS

    I ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT I CAN BE A SWEET DIL; AND I WILL BE APPRECIATTED FOR BEING THIS MUCH SWEET, BUT NOTHING WORKED OUT, i never expected tat these things will happen to me in my life......

    IM REALLY SORRY ,IF IM WRONG,
    IM ALWAYS HERE FOR U WITH FUL OF LOVE

    still confusions ....its better to conclude tis.......
    I have told in the beginning itself that “This entry is to know "whether INLAWS are bad?"”
    Certainly not! Then y is the gap between us?

    Hi Sarasan,

    I feel almost everyone face the same and would like to put an end to these questions.... Including me...struggling for answers since last 12 years.... but no use... better don't behind them, be practical as you are like....

    Now-a-days I donot even expect them to shower love and affection from them. Better to maintain good relation as much as we can and rest leave it, as we cannot satisfy everyone..... Hoping for the best, one or other day, they would also understand DIL is also as like Daughter..

    Rani.

    ahh almost all the marriages i've seen (with friends and relatives) they are nice before wedding and after wedding there is trouble.
    The main cause i think is that they feel they are being misunderstood. as time progresses, when both of them keep good communication they will eventually understand each other. i've seen cases where at the slightest friction between inlaws and dil, there are a bunch of people that add fuel to fire and make the gap bigger.
    Ofcourse there are people that are possessive about sons and there are people that think they maintain respect by ill treating the dils, etc, etc. there is nothing much we could do about them.
    I suggest you try and find if there are things that were taken to inlaws in a different way that you intented. stay calm and dont worry they will come around. from what you said about them before marriage, this would take time for everyone to realize other's good nature.

    Thank you Srikala for ur FB,
    yes there is ne use worring abt tis, atleast wat we cud do is to promissing the future generation tat tis kinda bad situation will not come to them in their life, as a parant of any male child they can deside to grow their son with quality attributes and also they cud be sweet enough with their DIL & her family also;

    i again stress the point tat Inlaws are not bad, tsince they are good, they can be sweet with their DIL too...........

    Dear Sarasan,

    To answer your qs -- No ,not all inlaws are bad but there are exceptions.

    Went thru' ur post,U come across as a desperate DIL willing to please your ILs.One point noted is the relationship between ur parents and ILs.If a friction exists between them,Obviously it will reflect on you.Suggest you take both the families for an outing or a get to-gethers (take a festive day as excuse).During those get togethers show greater impotance to ur ILs ,ur parents will understand.For any relationship to work, we need to spend time,do spend quality time with them.
    Also,
    1.Dont show your ILs you are desperate.They might take you as an advantage.
    2.Never take abuse.You gain nothing by losing your self respect.
    3.Dont expect your MIL to be your mom.
    4.Pre marraige days are fancy for any girl,cherish those memories but dont cofuse that with your present status
    5.People change ,accept it.

    The abv said suggestions are things I follow.Hope I helped.

    Regards,
    MariselviPrabu

    Dear Sarasan,

    Not all inlaws are bad as mariseviprabu told. Mine is the reverse case of yours. Inspite of love and affection to my son and daughter in law they will find fault in silly matters. They are framing rules how to behave with them. I have to search for the words whether they will take them in good sense of take them as mistakes. If we are free to talk anything means then what we can talk. So in general the MILs and SILs are alone blamed. But about DIL like mine. Here I am proud to say that irrespective of some misunderstanding was there during my early years of the marriage now all my sils and bils are appreciating me. So on day will come. They will realise your good qualities. Everything will be OK All the best

    dear sarasan,

    There is nothing to be worried about this. May be they feel they may not be protected by their son .they want their son with them.Now his love is being given to you also so they may feel themselves inferior so may be they have started finding falt in you. Wait for some time still they will understand u. A day will surely come when they surely realise your good qualities. All the best

    Dear sarsan,
    I went thorugh ur mail and i think i can give a few of my view points
    please try to understand that all people change once they realise their mistake, give them some time and do ur best
    Pl dont tell what is happening in ur inlaws house to ur parents house and viceversa, because by doing this u ll be saving the self respect of both the families
    try to be ur usual self and do ur best without worrying about all this u ll notice a lots of changes
    which ll surprise u
    all the best

    Thank u Mariselvi for ur sugggestions,
    As u said we tried to arrange for some family outings together,they show no interest. One day i realised tat to maintain the relationship i shud not spoil my parents respect too........ so now i understood tat there is no way tat a MIL can be a MOM, i deside to accept the reality & show a clear face tat im not worrying much, but wen ever i comeacross with ppl who spent good time with their IL's i really long for tat, let me wait for the day

    Thank you dea, for ur FB
    Cheers
