How do you deal with jealous in-laws -
One of my inlaws and his wife are very cold and plainly mean to DH and I and i have no clue how to explain it other than jealousy -
Does anyone else have these issues? How do you deal with it?

Not to be mean but maybe they just don't like you???? I know this is horrible but I hate my BIL's GF and so does DH so we are usually cold twords her. Its either be cold or be nasty, so I choose to be cold.

See i thought that too - and i didnt take it in a bad way - but they didnt start acting like this until a few months before our wedding - and since we dont hang out with them often - there is no way we did anything - that plus it isnt only the way they act with me - he acts like that with his own brother

Thanks for not taking that the wrong way!! I was just being honest!
Well it definitly sounds like jealousy then. I went through the same thing with my SIL when I first got engaged and started wedding planning ( she was dating her bf the same amount of time we were dating and shes alot older) I killed her with kindness. Asked her to help with stuff ( go to bridal expos with me) asked her opinions on stuff even if I didnt care, Instead of being jealous of me she wound up being really excited about the wedding. and wedding stuff in general. she was soooo excited to start planning her own wedding and she would up getting engaged the next year.

Try not to pay attention to them, it will put too much emphasis on your marriage and will cause conflict. Enjoy your hubby and forget about your inlaws.
