though i have not yet experienced this, I think in-laws who dont talk to you much is a sign of not liking your presence. and whenever you're around, they find excuses to be away from you.
If after years of being together and visiting the place of your partner they still:
-dont talk much to you..
-dont do any efforts to know you better..
-cold towards you..
then that must be a sign of them not liking you.
haiz... not a pleasant thing to know if mil doesnt like the future son / daughter-in-law...
but given that we all started off as total strangers, i guess it will take time to grow the "familiarity" with each other and become closer.
hope everyone gets over this stage and grow towards a loving family. hope mine too...
My parents don't like brother gf but still appear kind and generous to her. But my parents treated my fiance (past bf) very defensively , now okay liao after knowing him better...lol.Parents seem to worry daughter than son, ALWAYS...
When your mother-in-law always see something wrong with you rather than looking at your positive features. When they let you feel that there is this "distance" with you and them.
