I'm curious about the relationship you've with the family of your SO!
I'm looking forward to the replies from everybody and I later'll write some things about my situation, too!
Regards and much love!

How's the relationship between you and his family like?
Do you get along with them well and do you love them or do you just get along with them to keep things peaceful and easy?
How do they treat you?
Do they treat you as another family member or do you feel like being a outsider?
With time've things between you and the family of your SO changed or did they get any better or worse?

I've only known DB's family for a little over two months..... but I really, really like them. They're laid-back and down to earth.... and a lot of fun. I look forward to getting to know them better :)

I haven't met them ever and we've known each other 10 years. Odd, yes, I know. But it is what it is. I'm actually meeting them this week. I'll let you know how it goes!

How's the relationship between you and his family like?

Well I have never met his mom, and she seems too into herself, so not a great relationship with her. But neither does DH. His dad I HAVE met and is a sweet guy...just with them living so far away its hard to get to know them.

Do you get along with them well and do you love them or do you just get along with them to keep things peaceful and easy?

Of course I love them, just don't know them well.

How do they treat you?

DH mom treats me ok. She's kinda hard to read. Its hard to understand. DH dad treats me like I expect to be treated. Like a Daughter in Law :-)

Do they treat you as another family member or do you feel like being a outsider?
see above

With time've things between you and the family of your SO changed or did they get any better or worse? this question is a little confusing..I'm slow this morning. Things are still them same since we got married with the exception that I have actually now met DH's dad.

I actually am staying with his parents right now. me and Harry have lived together with his parents for pretty much our entire relationship so i have stayed here and been doing a lot of packing while he is away. His parents and I do not see eye to eye on everything but for the most part it works out very well. :P

How's the relationship between you and his family like? It's pretty good, granted Df an I have been together 7 months, and engaged 5 of them.

Do you get along with them well and do you love them or do you just get along with them to keep things peaceful and easy? His family is awsome. I love them

How do they treat you? They welcomed me into the family when I went back with Df for Christmas

Do they treat you as another family member or do you feel like being a outsider? His mom asked Df what I liked to drink and eat, she made sure to have tons of food in the house. His dad cooked crab legs our last night because Df an I love them. His aunts and uncles, cusions, grandparents welcomed me to the family too. They gave me Christmas presents, gave me hugs. They really made me feel very welcome. Im really looking forward to going back to Minnesota to see them this summer.

With time've things between you and the family of your SO changed or did they get any better or worse? Df an I haven't been together that long so im not sure how things will be in the future.

At first they thought we were rushing our relationship, but theyve come to accept that were crazy for eachother and will be getting married next year. Our moms seem excited about the thought of grandbabies.

I've only known DB for less than a year and his family less than that. I love love love his mom. She's fantastic and is already arranging for him and I to have alone time (as long as we use some form of birth control... her words, not mine) when he's on leave. His father, however, I don't have a problem with, but theres a bit of tension there, and his stepfather, maybe I just listen to DB a bit too much, but I really don't care for him at all. His half brother is a sweet kid, and really looks up to DB, so hopefully the he's a good enough rolemodel to him.

His family is super sweet and calls me (well, his mother, not his father... because he gets upset the DB doesn't call him first) to find out how he's doing, what he's been up to, etc. Since the beginning, his family has been gracious toward me, they invited me over for Thanksgiving and New Year's, however, I stayed with my own family... but I've always been treated as one of the family. DB says that his mother is grooming me for a daughter-in-law already.:hehe

How's the relationship between you and his family like?We get along great for the most part. My younger dsil drives me nuts sometimes, but I think it's because she's spoiled and takes advantage of my inlaws...

Do you get along with them well and do you love them or do you just get along with them to keep things peaceful and easy? I love my inlaws!

How do they treat you?I am a member of the family! MIL calls me just to chat, vent, or when she just misses me. Sometimes she'll call dh cell and ask for me when he answers... :giggle

Do they treat you as another family member or do you feel like being a outsider? I am treated like any other member of the family.

With time've things between you and the family of your SO changed or did they get any better or worse? I'd have to say that things have gotten better with time!

I love his grandmother, but would seriously debate peeing on his mom if she were on fire.. she and I are like oil and water to put it nicely. His sister and I get along OK, but I can't stand his bum of a brother..

i have a great relationship with my inlaws. I love all of them. me and his mom talk on the phone all the time. i go over to their house often. his parents are so nice, and they both keep me laughing. from his brothers to his aunts, cousins, they are all very nice.

I have never met them, because he doesn't speak to them anymore.

How's the relationship between you and his family like? really good! I love them

Do you get along with them well and do you love them or do you just get along with them to keep things peaceful and easy? I love them.. usually, as long as they arent trying to get us to get renew our vows in a Catholic church or baptize our baby

How do they treat you? they treat me like their daughter/sister.. i adore his sister but have never talked to his brother. his brother is trouble though.

Do they treat you as another family member or do you feel like being a outsider? like a family member

With time've things between you and the family of your SO changed or did they get any better or worse? theyre about the same. they have always been pretty good to me.

Hate them... can't stand them... and he's GONE and I still feel the same way..

I love them and they love me. I was a bit worried cause I first met them only a few days before our wedding, but they are great. I don't talk to FIL, but I speak to my MIL at least once a day.

How's the relationship between you and his family like? good! i only met them last year for the first time and they were lovely to me and made me feel very welcome!

Do you get along with them well and do you love them or do you just get along with them to keep things peaceful and easy? Now i love them! this deployment has really taken its toll on me and they have been nothing but supportive! i have received regular emails and i have called them throughout especaillaly when i was suffering panic attacks. and the support came from his mom and dad and sister.!

How do they treat you? like their sons future wife!

Do they treat you as another family member or do you feel like being a outsider? I am an outsider but they dont make me feel like one! I think they have had to get used to a lot of new things since ive come along...Im a career woman who works in the art industry, i have gay family members, friends and flatmates, im not religious in anyway, oh and im English. Thay had never met an English person before me and his mom said the week we met 'thats it now isnt it....he's never coming home to Amarillo' and i had to say no he's not, we will never live there!!

With time've things between you and the family of your SO changed or did they get any better or worse?[/QUOTE] I definitly think to begin with they were wary! they didnt know what to expect but then neither did I. But no i would say the more i get to know the better it is..........dont get me wrong...i think my MIL struggles that i am now number 1 in Ryans life and she does let the odd remark slip out....but the other day she agreed that during r&r Ryan and I could share a room - this has never happened in their home before with any of his siblings.......the fact that they give our relationship the respect I think it warrants has sealed my love for Ryans family more than anything else! these people have a massive hearts and im proud they are to be my family!

His family is great...and they have always treated me like family...

How's the relationship between you and his family like?

-I pretty much grew up with his family. We were neighbor's growing up so I've known them for a very long time.

Do you get along with them well and do you love them or do you just get along with them to keep things peaceful and easy?

-I get along with them well.

How do they treat you?

-Fantastic. I considered my MIL my 2nd Mom.

Do they treat you as another family member or do you feel like being a outsider?

-Treat me like family.

With time've things between you and the family of your SO changed or did they get any better or worse?

-Well since my MIL passed almost two years ago things have change with my FIL. He now has a fiance and is moving on.

I'm not ready for all the changes and what not that's happened. So my FIL and I don't speak as much as we used to but that's because he's establishing his new relationship. I understand but I just wish he was around more. I feel like he's a stranger now.

I have a great relationship with my in laws. Sure they grate my nerves some times but hey my own family does that as well..lol I can call them about ANYTHING. I LOVE my in laws

How's the relationship between you and his family like? amazing..i love them like i love my own family..we have known each other so long its has come natural.

Do you get along with them well and do you love them or do you just get along with them to keep things peaceful and easy? love them

How do they treat you? like one of there own..when his mom introduces us she says this is my daughter, and then she says this is my son (someone once thought we were brother and sister until they saw we were holding hands..haha) :] god i love her

Do they treat you as another family member or do you feel like being a outsider? sometimes i forget this isnt my birth family..

With time've things between you and the family of your SO changed or did they get any better or worse? if anything it has changed for the better, especially since i had my daughter

My MIL is a bitch. My FIL is amazing. My BIL is a really good friend. My SIL kicks ass.

My husband's family has always been good to me and welcomed me with open arms. Although, for a few months after we were married, his mom was a teensy bit stand-offish towards me. I think she was just worried that we were rushing into things, etc. But she's since warmed up and has been great. My husband's father and sisters absolutely adore my boys, too, which is fabulous.

I am very close to DBs family, I talk to his mom almost everyday. I have talked to her about every day for a year..It gets stronger as time goes on. :D

I don't know dhs family very well yet, though they treat me very nicely.... Dh and I got back home just a month before he left, and since he's left, I have probably talked to them about 3-4 times. I didn't have any family of my own for many years, so I guess its hard for me to relate/become close to someone elses family.

But a couple of weeks ago I did surprise his little sister and went to her HS play. I think I scored big points with that. Plus, it was super awesome!

I don't truly get along with them. i tollerate them and that is about it. his mom doesn't know how to cut the apron strings with his brother and his brother is the fav. His dad is alright but is very pushy. They have the beilef that you are to always do thing their way and that is the only way.

We are kinda outs with them because of some religious differences. Same faith but different way to express it and they hate our way and tell everyone how bad we are to be there.

I will not allow them to harm my child. If they ever get pushy with them on that then...nope they are gone.

Thank all of you ladies for the responses so far and for sharing the different experiences and relationship situations with me!
Well, I do my part now and share how things're with the family of my man!
He and his family're not too close and don't share a deep relationship really which's sad, but what can you do?
Only with his mom he has a good relationship and we're talking to her all the time!
The contact's made from both sides - us and her and I love her very much!
She's a awesome, sweet, caring and such a lovely person!
She treats me as another family member and did right from the beginning though!

The rest of his family just hm, how can I put it?
Let me be nice and polite - they're people who only take, but don't give and they don't care about my man at all!
And it doesn't matter if it's his sisters, brothers or whoever else belongs to his family!
They never make any contact, they never call back if they missed his call, they don't do anything, but expect him to make all the contact and they're pissed at him since the longest, that he left the US to take care of his career and life in the right way and they blame him for leaving the family and his country behind!
They always rubb it in his face, too and say a whole more childish things with the idea of hurting my man and making him feel bad!
They also don't agree with it that he's with me and that he didn't work the last marriage out since he got divorced and blame him for being a bad man and person who's selfish and just thinks of himself!

I don't like the idea of us moving more close to them, cause I'm so damn tired for them to act like stupid, ignorant and close minded retards that never got anything good to say and who can't even be thankful for my man to keep the contact with them!
If they only would know how much they hurt him with behaving that way and saying those things to him!
Everything they say's not true 1 bit and they don't even realize what would be if he would've stayed for good in the US and never thought of or took case of his life, career and of taking chances!
And I know I won't be shutting up anymore longer the next time they say those mean and untrue things to him!
I told him long time ago he doesn't need 1 single person of them besides his mother and he has me and the kids and he has my whole family who loves him and who treats him like another family member!
And I neither want them, care about them nor need them at all!
I don't think this'll change when we're living closer to them!
Regards and much love!

So far so good. I have stayed with his rents, hung out and talk to them at least once a week. I love his entire family and they treat me like I was their own.
He is and only child so, his dad and I clash sometimes, but other then that. I do love them very very much.

I get a long with everyone in his family. They have been very welcoming and treat me like a family member. The only one I have a problem with is his brother's wife, but so do a lot of other family members. She is a very negative and selfish person in general. Her loss, DHs fam is a great bunch of people.

We get along pretty well, partially due to the fact that they are in WA and im in AK, im sure lol. Never actually met them in person but talked through email and phone. Biggest issue so far is that they didnt come for the wedding, but might come in September to say good bye before he goes overseas....why didnt they come for a happy event...?!?!?! Oh and 3 days before the wedding his mom told him its never to late to back out!! Thank god he didnt listen to her!

I love db's mom and she is always very cool to me. His dad is the strong silent type. So very much like db. He and I don't talk as much but he's pretty awesome too.

I met dbs whole fam before I met him. He gave his blessing otherwise I would have waited.
The one thing that bugs me is that db always comes over to my place, never invites me over to his parents. I think its because he's shy and likes the privacy. His mom has already basically told me the fam would tease him about me if we were at his parents together often because db has never been the dating type.

We get along really well. They treat me like one of their own.

I love his grandmother, but would seriously debate peeing on his mom if she were on fire.. she and I are like oil and water to put it nicely. His sister and I get along OK, but I can't stand his bum of a brother..

I love the peeing if she was on fire:lmao

I have vented about my In laws but it is because I care about them. They are very nice and really do not contact us often. My BIL sucks. He doesn't take good care of his DS child. But he will be staying here(the baby) a lot this summer when their new baby comes.

He doesn't have much family. I love his grandparents(they arent blood relation but the only grandparents he's ever had). His mom and siblings spend most of their days on the couch, getting high. They don't add anything to society and they forget about everyone but themselves. They drain the governmant for benefits when they are all capable of working(45, 22, and 19 years old, respectively. Perfect health.). I don't have much in common with them obviously, and I have a hard time understanding their mentality. There is no anymosity, but we aren't close.

my MIL and step-FIL are awesome, they treat me like a daughter and when dh and i argue they usually take my side :lmao i think they're just happy dh found someone that calms him down, keeps him on the straight and narrow:lol his SIL is ok, i actually get along with her about as well as i do with my sister - that is to say, great, as long as we are only together for as little time as possible. she's nice enough, just you know - the typical little "princess" of the family.:shrug my FIL and step-MIL i'm not too sure about. dh doesn't have a great relationship with his dad, so i've only seen him for christmas/thanksgiving, and that's the way dh wants it. FIL kind of gives me a creepy vibe, though i don't know why. i think he's just not much of a people person.

i would say it's stayed the same since the beginning of our relationship- they've always treated me great:)

I absolutely feel a part of the family. I have never really felt like an outsider, even in the beginning. However, even with that, I have still had it really rough with the MIL. She has an issue with favouritism that hurts my kids and drives me bonkers. But, if there wasn't that we would have no problems at all.

They're nice, but they suffocate me. His family is really close and my family is more hands-off. It's been an adjustment and most days I just try to avoid them because they want to be so involved in our lives and I just can't understand it.

They're nice people. I like them. Their house gets a little chaotic and hectic, but that's what's to be expected when they have 6 boys (including DH - he's the oldest of 6) running around, the youngest of which is 7 years old. It's a bit wearing and exhausting, I admire his mom for being able to put up with it all day every day. They like me a lot and treat me as their own daughter. There are certain things that they do (especially MIL) that really just rub me the wrong way, but MOST of the time, I get along with them really well. But every once in awhile....:vent :no

I met my DH's mom the day I met him... she takes credit for picking me out! LOL I LOVE his mom, she reminds me so much of my own mom and we are best friends. I met me DH's family last chirstmas and they were all so warm and friendly. I love them all, but they live in the states and we live in Germany so it is easier when we don't have to see our families on a regular basis. My family loves my DH because I love him. He can be too quite at times, but he is a good man so my family respects and honors him. We got lucky!

They accept me and I am always invited to theri family functions, even from the extended family. At times, I still feel like and outsider, but they aren't good communicators.

We get along. I don't do phones though and that makes it tough to stay in contact with them. I have told them numerous times that email is a wonderful invention :lol

We've been together 18 months and I haven' met or even spoken to any of his family... great isn't it? I almost met his mom, but schedules conflicted and she had to leave to go back to her hometown before I got off work... :shrug One day....

I really like my SO's family. I've only met them once, but have talked/emailed with them several times since... especially since DB deployed... we keep eachother posted on when we hear from him. DB and I have known eachother for 7 years, but just recently became a couple... but it was nice to finally meet his 'rents even if it was 7 years in the making :giggle

I'm curious about the relationship you've with the family of your SO!
I'm looking forward to the replies from everybody and I later'll write some things about my situation, too!
Regards and much love!

How's the relationship between you and his family like?He has a pretty small family, and I've met his extended family a couple times. Overall, they like me pretty well. (never had any issues)
Do you get along with them well and do you love them or do you just get along with them to keep things peaceful and easy?His Mother is the main issue. She is a BIG brown noser and she drives me insane. She is over-bearing with her son, and trys too hard to be in his life and he wants some privacy. I work with her so it complicates things from time to time, but I have learned to set BOUNDARIES at work. :lol I care for her a lot, but there are times when I just want to move away and never see her again!!!!
How do they treat you? His Dad treats me with respect when DB's Mother is not around, otherwise, he barely says a word to me...unless it's about my Louie (doggie).
Do they treat you as another family member or do you feel like being a outsider?Sometimes I feel like I don't matter and its hurtful. We've been dating for OVER 5 1/2 years and his Mother STILL hasn't made me as if I do matter. It's SUPER frusterating. (I just want to be hugged and loved...why is that so hard to ask for?)
With time've things between you and the family of your SO changed or did they get any better or worse?Things were weird at first, just because we were young and DB hadn't really ever had a g/f before. He'd been on dates, but never a steady g/f. I didn't think that DB's Mother liked me, because she was always nosey and looking at me weird. (as I've grown realizing that was her way to get to know me, but whoa!! you don't ask someone 100 questions the 1st time you meet them...I'm 16, what is there to know?) :lol Over time things have gotten better I guess...but it comes and it goes. I assume it'll be like this forever!! :hugs

i get along ok with the in-laws. his parents have been divorced since he was 2 so its 2 completely different sets of families now which makes it hard when we're home.. i wish i was closer with his dad's side. i get along with his mom for the most part and she made me a part of the family when we were just dating but she really manipulated me into not liking a lot of dh's family(both sides) until i figured out she was lying to me.. i love my mil but she lies to me a lot and that makes me uncomfortable. i can't believe anything she says anymore and i feel like she talks about me to other members of the family.. i guess i love her but i don't trust her if that makes sense

How's the relationship between you and his family like?
I've actually been thinking about this alot lately...At first everyone was so great to me, so supportive etc. Then once he left they pulled back from me. The past month db has been having a hard time over there, and somewhat takes it out on me. I dont know what he has said to his mother, but her as well as his sister havent spoken to me since.

Do you get along with them well and do you love them or do you just get along with them to keep things peaceful and easy?

I honestly love them. This isn't how I thought they would act during this deployment, but I know I remind his mom of him too much and she gets upset.. His sister believes no one is good enough for her brother therefor i am not liked.


How do they treat you?
His whole extended family is soo nice to me. I love them all..

Do they treat you as another family member or do you feel like being a outsider? I think ill always feel like an outsider....for the most part anyway.

With time've things between you and the family of your SO changed or did they get any better or worse?

WORSE! & I don't know how to fix it!


Hrmph. Now i'm upset about this again....... :sigh

we get along great!

we've never had a problem. i've always gotten along with m inlaws.

How's the relationship between you and his family like?
I get along swimmingly with most of them. His siblings both like me, one is younger than we are and one is older. His dad likes me too, and I like hanging out with him, he's a real kick in the pants. But I gotta say, his mom hated me for no good reason-- she was basically jealous that her son had someone other than her to pay attention to, and honestly I don't like the way that she treats him a lot of the time. It makes me hard to like her sometimes if she has recently done something to hurt him, but I try not to let that affect her relationship with me because she didn't do it to me. I don't always succeed though because I am a very protective person. Recently she has warmed up to me though, and things have been much less stressful.

Do you get along with them well and do you love them or do you just get along with them to keep things peaceful and easy?
It depends on who it is and what the circumstances are. Most of the time I genuinely look forward to hanging out with them but sometimes I feel like I have to be guarded with what I say if there have been family problems recently. They aren't very private people and I don't want to get pulled into stuff that doesn't concern me.

How do they treat you?
They treat me great, it's just the way they act toward DB sometimes that gets to me. But they always invite me over and seem happy to see me, so I can't complain. They really are great people 99% of the time... it's just that 1% that is a little sketch.

Do they treat you as another family member or do you feel like being a outsider?
Well we've only been together for a little over a year and a half so I feel like I am still learning things, but I can tell they are trying their best to make me feel like I am part of the family, and I really appreciate it.

With time've things between you and the family of your SO changed or did they get any better or worse?
Things with the siblings and the dad have always been fairly good. The dad didn't trust me at first because he thought that 19 was too young to be monagamous (seriously!!), but once he met me a couple of times he got over that. It's just the relationship with his mom that was a little rocky at first, but the more I stick around the more she likes me. It gives me hope for the future, because I was worried for a little bit that it would turn into a situation where the two of us couldn't be in his life at the same time. Now it's looking like we can be friends, and I am really happy about that.

yeah, that one :D
Neither of us get along with his family well.. or more accurately, with his mom. I've only met the rest of his family a couple of times... some are really nice and I think I would be great friends with... and some... I want NOTHING to do with.... he tends to avoid his family though so it doesn't matter... only his mother is an issue.. and I just stay quiet and polite so there aren't usually any issues.

although apparently I am controlling and self centered... oh.. and only with him for his money....

:giggle

:giggle


'Cause we all know these Army boys are ROLLIN in the dough! :rofl
I married Michael for his money, too. :yes He was a coffee shop manager and I just couldn't resist that $8 an hour! :drool :lmao

I have only talked to his Mother.

I will say this, she isn't what I had expected when I talked to her the first time. I thought she would have been rude and cold but instead she was warm and friendly... kinda like your bestfriend.

All-in-All I think I have a good relationship with his family... His Mom even called the day of my moms Kidney Transplant then called again the following Wensday, just to see how my mom was, even though they have never met.

They are wonderful. They treat me like family. They always invite me over for dinner, go to family parties even when df isnt here, etc. I work with df's dad so I see him everyday and we always have lunch. Ive never felt more close to someone else's family besides my own in my life.

How's the relationship between you and his family like? Well, we have been together for 3 years and 5 months and I have always felt like they didn't like me. I always felt awkward when I was at his house. It was just uneasy but now that DF is out in bootcamp and I got to spend time with them (in a party way) and I have to keep in touch with them..I feel the uneasiness is kinda disappearing.
Do you get along with them well and do you love them or do you just get along with them to keep things peaceful and easy? Well,personally I do like them to a certain extent, but they could be more friendlier.
How do they treat you? They treat me fine to a certain extent...it's not like they come up to me and give me hug and ask me how I am.
Do they treat you as another family member or do you feel like being a outsider? I still feel like an outsider but hopefully...it changes..I would like it to.
With time have things between you and the family of your SO changed or did they get any better or worse? Um...it's getting better very little..it's taking alot of time...:dunno

How's the relationship between you and his family like?
I haven't met his family yet in person, but I have emailed them or talked to them on the phone at some point and they have all been sweet to me!

Do you get along with them well and do you love them or do you just get along with them to keep things peaceful and easy?
I honestly like them so far!

How do they treat you?
They treat me wonderfully and with the same respect that I treat them with.

Do they treat you as another family member or do you feel like being a outsider?
I kind of feel like an outsider just because I live so far away from them right now, yet they have welcomed me with open arms!

With time've things between you and the family of your SO changed or did they get any better or worse?
This one is out, because we're newly married and still far away!

DH parents aren't really parents.... when we where dating he was always with me at my house...he only slept at his... we got married and not much changed. We have 3 boys... that they don't even acknowledge... (not our loss). They call like every 6 months... for about 5 mins... we just don't have a connection with them. DH looks to my parents as his parents...sounds freaky but he's closer with mine than his own. My parents came up to see him off... his parent are acting like it's no big deal. So to answer your question... don't really care about DH family... just treating them as they have treated us!

:lmao:hystericlaugh
DH's (adopted) family hates me, though they won't come out and say it. Don't ask me why they do, as I have no idea. His real family is wonderful, loving, and caring. I love them to death. DH is adopted and has been with his family since he was 14 months old. They have called me a whore, bitch, and many other names, thinking that I cannot hear them, and they refuse to say it to my face. While I was pregnant, they told me and dh that me and our son were a disgrace to their family. DH has been gone for almost 2 months and they have seen our son once, and that was only because I ran into them. They have only bought a diaper genie for our son, which I gave them back the same night (christmas eve) b/c DH (DB at time) asked them if he could have a snake and they completely flipped and kicked him out and called the cops for absolutely no reason (that's when they told us we were a disgrace)!!! The real kicker?
His father is head pastor at a well-known church here and also head chaplain for the police department. His life is a great example, don'tcha think? The most two-faced ppl that I know of. They preach that they are completely against abortion, yet when SIL got pregnant at 17, they would drop her off at abortion clinics for hours. She and her now husband wanted to get married then, but they refused to let her for the simple reason he was black. He was not allowed to see his daughter until she was 15 months old. Needless to say, they are wonderful ppl, lol. :pukey

I love hubby's Father, Step mom, brothers and sister. I even love his dad's side of the family. But his Mom is such a back stabbing bitch, I can't bring myself to trust someone who would do the things she does to her own kids.
She is a real nut job :screwy
I just can't trust her at all.
other then her I have no problem with his family

I get along with db's family pretty well. The first time I met them was when he flew them(being his mom, little brother and sister) to tx for his deployment. I didn't get that much time to really get to know them then but his mother and I exchanged numbers and she will call once every other week and talk to me for hours. Then during r&r i flew to cali to be with db and i stayed with them for a week or so, and i was alone with them a couple days because db was delayed so i got a better feel for them. I even met his dad who hes not too fond of. Overall I think we have a good relationship and his mom never trys to interfere with OUR relationship haha and shes very open....she even made sure we had condoms for crying out loud :lmao

it's great, i love his family. i met them the day my dh and i had our first date so i've known them since the beginning & it just got better :grin:

i spent a lot of time cooking/baking/talking with his mom & she calls me every once in a while, but she's trying to "cut the cord" with dh so i'm thinking that's why she doesn't call all the time :giggle

How's the relationship between you and his family like? Our relationship is great!!!! And it's getting better and better every day.
Do you get along with them well and do you love them or do you just get along with them to keep things peaceful and easy? I get along with them so well. Right now my fiance is deployed but I still get together for dinner with his family occassionally and I'm playing softball with my future in-laws on their neighborhood team!
How do they treat you? Like a member of the family already!! His mom treats me like a daughter and is always making sure I'm ok. His dad treats me like he does his sons! Hahaha. Yells at me occassionally (when me and his 2 sons all get in trouble at the same time!). His brother watches out for me and makes sure I'm ok during this deployment.
Do they treat you as another family member or do you feel like being a outsider? Definately NOT an outsider! I feel like a family member!! All the way from his grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, down to my future in-laws.
With time've things between you and the family of your SO changed or did they get any better or worse? Over time our relationship has grown for the better! Getting to know each other more. Getting closer! :) I seriously love my future new family!

I am very close to all of Adam's family. His parents have been divorced since he was little, so he basically has two families, but they have both told him that if he ever does something stupid and loses me, they will keep me and he is out the door. :lmao I know if I ever needed anything, I could call any of them and they would be there for me in a heartbeat. I definitely feel like a part of the family with all of them. I feel very blessed.
