I feel like my husband spends more time with his parents, cousins and grandparents than with us (wife and daughter). what is the normal time your husband spends with his family?Any good advice for my marriage?
i would say prob once a week, maybe twice if he is european. why dont you join him on these visits...ask him in a freindly manner what he enjoys the most in these visits, talk communicate. dont come across wanting to put a wedge in between them, as this will be resented by him...good luck!Any good advice for my marriage?
There is no ';normal time';. It depends from person to person. However, if you feel left out, you should definitely do something about it.
Talking to him directly at the first instance may put him off.... and make him feel u r trying to move him away from his family. Take initiative and organise something only for the three of you... keep him in the loop and tell him to make himself free for that particular day.
For e.g. Do a fun event like going to a water park... if he wants to bring his parents along, tell him it would not be the appropriate place for elders...
Or go to a kids' movie (assuming your daughter is still quite young)...
Send your daughter off to your parents' for a weekend and spend some time alone with him... it would make him miss you more...
Or, if nothing else works... just start spending more time with your parents, cousins and grandparents and pull him along too... give him a dose of his own medicine. That should do the trick.
have you tried cheating. i hear that usually works.
u be in the family with whoever he is with.
then u will be always with him and he with u all.
what is normal is what makes you feel comfortable and loved...there is no standard...everyone is different...talk to your husband...let him know how you feel and see if you can't work it out....it will take some compromise on your part as well as his....good luck
Why can you and your daughter not be included in activities which involve other family members? I don't quite understand why it has to be an ';us or them'; scenario.
WHERE IS YOURS FAMILY ?
Is it a fact that he spends more time with them or is it a feeling? If it is a fact, you need to determine whether or not you are doing something to drive him there. If you are not, then you may just have to live with it. If you are driving him away, then change your ways. Ask him what you do that bugs him and stop doing it.
The saying ';if you cant win them, join them';.
You are the family, join your husband and try to mix freely with his family. Your daughter needs to know her father's relation too. I dont see it as a problem unless you are trying to make your husband stay away from his people. Are you jealous? Please dont start any misunderstanding. Be together and stay as one big happy family. The more you try to split them, the more problems you will have.
Good luck
