My first in-laws were good people, but they never totally let go of their daughter.
It ended up causing issues.
But they were always good to me..in person. But when we were having some issues, the ex chose to go to them and not tell me anything. No idea what she told them about me, but they basically went along with her on everything, paid for her move, paid for her new apartment, lawyer, etc., and never said one damn thing to me.
That was a problem...she went to them for everything, and if she didn't go to them, they came to her. Good people, but way too involved.
I did see them once when we first were separated, and they were just as nice as ever.
Always struck me as odd, how good they were to me, but when she went to them, they apparently never told her to stick things out, work on the marriage, (practically nothing was wrong) and never said a word to me about it. We got along fine. Argued sometimes, like anyone else. Had some minor money troubles, due to wife's mishandling of the finances, but nothing terrible. Dealbreaker was we stopped having sex. When I pushed on this after awhile, I got the "I've been thinking" talk.
I rather suspect that if I had had money for a private investigator, he would have found the real reason.
But oh well, much better off now. Had no prob with the MIL, though.
Current wife's mom died when my wife was 4 months pregnant with our first child. That was NOT cool.
I got along with her fine. Most of the wife's family are idiots, and the mom was no exception, but she was fine. I'm quite sure we'd have bumped heads after the kids were born had she lived, but nothing too bad. I wish she had lived to see them.
