Dear Queenie,
I’ve been married for almost 10 years and my father-in-law hardly ever talks to me and when he does it’s just for a minute or 2. I get along with his wife, my mother-in-law, just fine.
Recently my husband’s brother got married and my father-in-law has no problem talking to his wife – he spent 20 minutes chatting with her at our last family get-together.
Queenie, I’m not jealous, but I am insulted. Do you have any advice?—Angry daughter-in-law
Dear Daughter-in-law,
Does your father-in-law have any problems with your husband that may affect the way he feels about you?
Talk to a professional counsellor about this and if being around your father-in-law is difficult for you, limit the time you spend with your husband’s family when he is there.
