I think I want a divorce from my in-laws.

Okay, not all in-laws are horrible meddlers and otherwise unagreeable. I know it's a venting thread, but the best in-laws aren't ones that effectively don't exist, but are ones that understand and respect boundaries, and love you.

I have never heard of such a thing... What planet are they from?

The #1 reason why couples divorce at least what I hear on the radio was because of interference from family members.

I have never heard that as the #1 reason. It's usually money issues or personal differences (like adultery). Never, ever heard that family interference was in the #1 spot.

My father-in-law is a good man whom, though I've only known him for a short time, I have come to love. He supports while maintaining boundaries, I'm lucky to have him as an addition to my life. He's a widower so my mother-in-law is as of yet unknown to me except through reflection. My siblings-in-law I must confess I don't know extremely well but I enjoy being around them at family get togethers as they are fine and good people.

They're from Earth.

My husband has fantastic in-laws, who are also Earthlings.

Just kidding I have good in-laws also. I just don't give them enough credit for being good and me enough for being bad.

I've been very blessed with wonderful in-laws. I love my mother-in-law, father-in-law, all my sisters-in-laws, and brothers-in-law. None of them are of the meddling sort.
