Should I have given in a bit? My wife said she feels this is an example of me being "nasty." I told her that I don't see it that way at all, but I understand that it is hard for her too.
Thoughts? Did I misstep?
Involving family is not necessarily a wise move; they have long memories. I understand what you mean by them supporting you -- my MIL is more supportive of me than my wife, mostly because my wife isn't talking to her about things -- but everyone has to be able to live with each other if things work out.
Also, they are ultimately her family. Whatever happens to your relationship, she will still be their sister/daughter/cousin, etc. Even though they disapprove now, they will come to accept the breakup if it happens.
