How do you get along with your in laws (need support) [View All]

[soleft]

Does your SO have screwed up relations? Do you avoid having to spend anytime with them, or do you grin and bear it for your partner's sake?

What do you do at the holidays? If your partner wants to see their family and you hate them, do you let your partner go alone and go off and do your own plans?

I was in a LTR for about fifteen years with someone, and each year we'd do Thanksgiving one place and Xmas at the other. THen the next year we'd switch back. Neither family was too hellish, in fact there were laughs and many good times.

In my new relationship, which is almost a year old, if my SO never saw may family again it would be fine with her. Mostly cause my parents are now very old and frankly just not that much fun to be around. I'm wondering how many holidays I have left with them, so I guess it's important to make an appearance on Thanksgiving and somehow figure out when and how to see them at Xmas. My SO says fine, go ahead, but wants to go off and do her own thing.

Please share your stories, it will make me feel better.
