re: How do y'all marry people and hate their parents?

There's no tension between me and my MIL. She and my wife don't get along all that well. I'm a bit indifferent, but loved my FIL.

I've only seen her for 2 days for a few hours in the past 2 years since he died. We stayed in a hotel, which wasn't the norm in the past 22 years

My wife might talk to her once a month on the phone. It doesn't really impact my life or marriage. Being a long distance away negates most issues we might have if we lived 5 miles down the road.
