Giving up is one thing, growing past is another. Dannymac Send a noteboard - 19/04/2011 10:00:55 PM
She's your friend, and so it is only natural for you to be a bit protective of her in all of this. And honestly, you could be right. It may be worth mentioning to her, but all you can do is mention it. If it is a problem, and not just relationship growth, it can really only be fixed from the inside.

Relationship - positive development or signs of eventual break down? Helene - 19/04/2011 08:48:26 AM 1907 Views
Helene, I want to give you an answer but... Urza - 19/04/2011 08:58:45 AM 1048 Views
Fair enough Helene - 19/04/2011 10:01:51 AM 1001 Views
Not all inlaws are bad, you know, I prefer some of my inlaws to my own family. *NM* Macharius - 19/04/2011 01:56:03 PM 486 Views
inlaws are not always bad random thoughts - 19/04/2011 02:10:18 PM 961 Views
I spend way more time with my in-laws than with my own family. Sareitha Sedai - 19/04/2011 02:17:41 PM 952 Views
I'm like this with my future in-laws too. *NM* Clover - 19/04/2011 04:47:05 PM 465 Views
I think they are right ironclad - 19/04/2011 10:20:39 AM 1182 Views
I see your point Helene - 19/04/2011 10:42:51 AM 1141 Views
Re: I think they are right Macharius - 19/04/2011 01:59:57 PM 1009 Views
I think that's an unfair assumption. Sareitha Sedai - 19/04/2011 02:16:54 PM 935 Views
What he said about his wife's mother Helene - 19/04/2011 02:59:32 PM 1110 Views
Ew. I would have a problem with that too. Something about that attitude makes me dig in my heels. Tashmere - 20/04/2011 01:37:38 AM 858 Views
No offense... ironclad - 19/04/2011 02:35:53 PM 1087 Views
yes but have you found such a thing? random thoughts - 19/04/2011 03:05:35 PM 1015 Views

how long has it been? *NM* random thoughts - 19/04/2011 03:16:32 PM 472 Views
Don't try to corrupt me with your long term pessimism ironclad - 19/04/2011 03:34:39 PM 965 Views
sadly I seem attracted to the crazies *NM* random thoughts - 19/04/2011 04:08:14 PM 466 Views
Yes. But it didn't start out like that. Took years to chip away all our rough edges. Tashmere - 20/04/2011 01:40:29 AM 1030 Views
Could be either snoopcester - 19/04/2011 10:30:50 AM 1062 Views
True enough... Helene - 19/04/2011 10:44:28 AM 1023 Views
My opinion is the latter. Macharius - 19/04/2011 01:55:00 PM 1032 Views
He definitely has a point about realistic expectations Sareitha Sedai - 19/04/2011 01:56:49 PM 1015 Views

I should have read this first. Sareitha Sedai - 19/04/2011 02:25:16 PM 1047 Views
Re: He definitely has a point about realistic expectations Sareitha Sedai - 19/04/2011 02:23:14 PM 1029 Views
You don't strike me as the "screeching-howler-monkey" type to begin with. *NM* Macharius - 19/04/2011 03:33:41 PM 470 Views
I love just about everything about you Sareitha. Good answers all. *NM* Tashmere - 20/04/2011 01:26:34 AM 442 Views
I translated "I will think about it" as a secret but obvious code for. "I don't really want to but Tashmere - 20/04/2011 01:34:36 AM 1136 Views
that's what I would have meant if I said "I'll think about it" *NM* LadyLorraine - 20/04/2011 02:00:33 AM 429 Views
The fact that you are referring to a fiancé and comparing it to wife says a lot random thoughts - 19/04/2011 02:09:27 PM 1122 Views
To be fair, me and my fiance have been together for about as long as they have Helene - 19/04/2011 02:57:03 PM 965 Views
I don't know about everyone but things changed when we got married random thoughts - 19/04/2011 03:16:11 PM 1003 Views
How did things change? Helene - 19/04/2011 04:14:56 PM 1003 Views
Like I said I can only speak for myself random thoughts - 19/04/2011 04:54:04 PM 1037 Views
There's already a 10 year old in the picture for us Helene - 19/04/2011 06:52:44 PM 961 Views
My husband and I don't understand why people say this. rebelaessedai - 20/04/2011 01:03:31 AM 1079 Views
I did say I was only speaking for myself random thoughts - 20/04/2011 01:58:45 PM 1018 Views
I know. rebelaessedai - 20/04/2011 09:01:11 PM 1234 Views
Sorry for some reason I thought you had just got married. random thoughts - 20/04/2011 09:52:24 PM 1467 Views
Good luck to them! *NM* rebelaessedai - 22/04/2011 04:25:38 AM 453 Views

From the information that you have presented... Jeordam - 19/04/2011 03:50:19 PM 1192 Views
I am in agreement with you, and I'm not particularly Christian. Helene - 19/04/2011 04:11:57 PM 940 Views
Which is sad (not the agreement, but their potential future) Jeordam - 19/04/2011 06:29:47 PM 1014 Views
Oh yes... I'm of course not sure. I can be way off base :-) Let's hope I am. Helene - 19/04/2011 06:55:13 PM 997 Views
Could go either way. Dannymac - 19/04/2011 04:36:02 PM 969 Views
I get the impression that it's more about her forming toward him than vice versa Helene - 19/04/2011 06:56:37 PM 984 Views
Giving up is one thing, growing past is another. Dannymac - 19/04/2011 10:00:55 PM 934 Views
Oh, to be fair, he's the friend and she's the wife Helene - 20/04/2011 08:43:12 AM 901 Views
I don't necessarily think it will end in a breakup or divorce. Clover - 19/04/2011 04:44:11 PM 958 Views
I think you are 100% right about having a good realtionship with your spouse's family random thoughts - 19/04/2011 05:07:12 PM 968 Views
I think this is about priorities. rebelaessedai - 20/04/2011 01:07:20 AM 1112 Views
Our priorities may shift over time, too. We're still very young and more tied to our families. Clover - 20/04/2011 03:09:54 AM 918 Views
Even when younger, I was independent. rebelaessedai - 20/04/2011 05:29:59 AM 855 Views

rebelaessedai - 22/04/2011 04:29:32 AM 1242 Views
Not the former for sure, and maybe not the latter. Palatine - 19/04/2011 05:55:03 PM 1018 Views
I think it's impossible for me to judge their future status without knowing more about them LadyLorraine - 19/04/2011 07:22:32 PM 972 Views
Can't tell. nossy - 19/04/2011 10:04:27 PM 933 Views
I'm with the 'can't tell' crowd. Antigone - 19/04/2011 11:37:17 PM 1243 Views
hell, or she could just not care too much at all LadyLorraine - 19/04/2011 11:43:21 PM 964 Views
What you said in the original question wouldn't neccessarily mean much to me either way. Tashmere - 20/04/2011 01:56:55 AM 990 Views
It's not all out "she's worthless", it's more like "she's a bit silly with all her wishes" Helene - 20/04/2011 08:46:49 AM 955 Views
That would still be a deal breaker for me. Tashmere - 20/04/2011 11:49:09 PM 961 Views
I'm leaning more towards your interpretation. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 20/04/2011 02:15:22 AM 430 Views
I don't know. *NM* (I feel bad for the 20 people who viewed this message- my apologies) Vivien - 20/04/2011 04:36:13 AM 1009 Views
I'm with you on this. *NM* Camilla - 20/04/2011 10:00:41 AM 479 Views
