  • That's a good question. Do you not get along well with either his or your own family? If he's really attached to his, then your proposition will be a tough sell. You may have to get what you want through more subtle means, like taking a job across the country and making him move with you, or doing your own thing when he wants to go visit his parents.
  • Ummm, the best way is to talk to him about your feelings, although it is likely to cause some problems. Once you get married, you are typically also marrying a person's family. I can guarantee you that most people aren't going to throw a lifetime with their family for a new husband or wife.
  • Try to tell it to him honestly. I'm sure he'd understand.
  • Ever think about telling him how you feel? Good luck with the marriage with that kind of communucation.
  • It would be a big deal if someone told me they wanted us to interact with my family only when necessary. Be honest with him to make sure he's okay with this. It all depends on the person and the family situation.
  • Once married it really is important that you see extended family on holidays now and again. Besides which, in-laws build character.
  • I hope you're not getting married soon. This sort of thing should probably have come up by now.
  • Talk to him. It doesn't necessary mean you have to go over there often but once in a while would be nice like going over there for the holiday or any special occasions. I'm a mother of 3 boys, I would be heartbroken if my son's wife/gf said something like this.
