Deciding When To Move On

[HrtHsbnd]

Good point Steve. I’ve always felt that if I handle her then her parents will follow, even though they are extremely over bearing.

Steve,

That makes sense, but how do I handle her parents? Is that the same as having OM?

I am trying to control myself and I feel like I’ve been doing a really good job, especially considering where I wasn’t before all of this

You've described her parents of not liking you and wanting her to be away from you. Hmmmm, sounds like what an OM's position would be, doesn't it?

How do you handle her parents? You don't. They are not your problem. Your W is. Just like if she had an OM. Engage with them as little as possible. When you do engage, keep it to logistics about the kids, if those logistics are necessary. You know they don't like you. And you know the best way to make someone that doesn't like you to start liking you? Act like you don't care. It is amazing how DBing tactics work across all relationship. DB your in-laws too!
