Dreading telling inlaws
I feel like a horrible person. My husband and I grew up together (been dating since high school) and were a huge part of each other's families during high school, college etc, but our families never interacted with each other. When our wedding came, his family--specifically his mother-- was awful and treated us and my family like garbage. It was so awful my husband cried on our wedding night from how upset he was with his mother's behavior. So since then, I've had no desire to spend any time with his family, but we do when we have to. He seems to have gotten over the wedding incident but deep down, I just can't.
It's been 2 years and now I'm 10 weeks pregnant. We've told my parents and siblings but not his. To be honest, I've been avoiding telling them. I haven't told my husband this, but he can tell. I am dreading telling them because I just don't feel close with them anymore, and am afraid that a major life event like this (and like our wedding was) will make his mother mean and jealous and distant again. Am I horrible? I told him we could go tell them today, but the damage is done I think. Trying to give him his space and let him decide when to tell them once he isn't so upset with me. Am I crazy, or does anyone else dread telling their inlaws or not feel close to them like me?
