7.Your in-laws are too attached to your spouse.
We’ve already talked about your in-laws acting as if your spouse is still a baby, but in this case, they’re the babies. They’re clingy and overly attached just because they don’t want to lose their son’s/daughter’s attention. The only problem is, this type of behavior could easily escalate to the point where they’re competing with you for your spouse’s love.
You’re going on a romantic trip at the weekend? They will certainly find a reason to call and ask you to postpone your plans over the smallest things. Or, they’re trying to manipulate your spouse by saying things like ‘You don’t love us anymore,’ or ‘You’ve changed since you got married.’
This is a tricky situation because obviously it’s your spouse’s parents we’re talking about, and they deserve to feel their child’s love and attention, even though they’re being very dramatic about it. What you shouldn’t do is hate them for it.
Understand that they are the way they are, and try to include them in your activities, including holidays and birthdays. This way, they’ll probably understand that you’re not an enemy and they won’t lose their child.
