“They’re your family”

Has anyone else had any similar issues with their SO on this topic?

My husband and I have been together almost 5 years. Even when we were just dating, I tried to hard to be a part of his family and get them to like me. They’ve stabbed me in the back and talked shit about me. I’m finally at a point where his mom and I have a really good relationship. I’ve always considered his family a part of mine. But whenever it comes to my family, he always says, “they’re your family”

A few of my cousins and I are going through a hard time right now and my husband couldn’t care less. He zones out when I talk to him about it or changes the subject. My family has done nothing but accept him and love him as their own. But he doesn’t care. I don’t know what to do.

Maybe he's just not a big family person. I'm that way, my husband's family is super nice and welcomed me with open arms but I honestly don't really care about what's going on in their lives. I guess I'm that way with my family as well.

I have it with my husband but it’s the opposite. His family like hates me his mom has threatened to call the cops on me because i texted her. And his sisters just don’t talk to me🤷🏼‍♀️ he calls my mom and dad mom and dad(half the time i think they like him more then me😂😂 he’s the easy going one) but when we talk about his family it’s always “you’re mom” and “you’re sisters” . His moms main problem with me is when i met my husband he was fully financially responsible for her. When we got married and had bills to pay then he stopped paying for her stuff and now that we are having a baby we are gonna need money even more. So she thinks i turned him against her. And then his sisters one of them we will say hi if they are on the phone (they are in Florida we are in Washington) but we don’t go out of our way to talk to them. And then the other one i feel is a liar. She said she got pregnant with quadruplets naturally.. and then said she aborted 3 of them because she just didn’t want all of them. And then we ask for ultrasounds and never get them. She lied about who the dad is... she’s just ugh. Oh also i have an issue with them because they have no boundaries they will call him at 3 in the morning and if he doesn’t answer they will just keep calling until i answer or he does.. and then they call and text him all day .. literally if we are out i have to tell him to put his phone down. That being said this every once in a while i still have to remind my husband that my family is his family too. But i honestly think it just comes out in conversation to say your mom or your dad or your family ... i don’t know i don’t have a problem with him saying it. I would talk to your hubby about ignoring you when your trying to talk tho.
