When someone withholds their blessing from you, that hurts. You might spin in circles and worry yourself silly, trying to figure out what you might have done wrong. Even though it hurts right now, go on without their blessing. You can find peace and contentment in your marriage despite their attitude. Be willing to include them if they want to be included. Finally, grieve the loss of that relationship and move on. They may not be your blood relatives, but you probably expected to have, at the very least, an amicable relationship with your in-laws.
Grieving is essential to moving on with your life. Sometimes, in-laws come around when grandchildren are born. Other times, hearts soften with age. Unpredictable moments in life can be milestones.
Most importantly, remember that this problem is more about them than it is about you. Stay focused on your own marriage, and you can find happiness and lifelong love together. Have you dealt with rejection by your in-laws? Was the issue ever resolved, or did you and your spouse learn to live without their blessing? Share your story below.
The problem is when they have get togethers and do not invite you but make sure to post pictures on Facebook etc⦠I have been married to my husband for 28 years and this has not changed.
We have two sons who graduated in the top ten of their class whom their grandfather willillingly uses for bragging rights but does not invite us over for thanksgiving or Christmas because we are four too many, yet his daughters are invited to come. He is living with a woman he is not married to, my mother in law died four years ago.
