That's the situation I find myself in. When we were married, there were times I thought that if anything ever happened to my marriage I wouldn't be able to make tracks fast enough, but now I find myself actually liking them. It wasn't horrible--it just wasn't a close relationship, but now I'm getting ready to actually go socialize with my stbx MIL--by choice! I think they were embarrassed by what he did to me, and that's part of it, but the other part of it is that it's like a cloud has been lifted--I was just discussing that with my BIL tonight and he said he feels a lot more comfortable with me these days and that he blames it on his brother. I'm not sure if it will last--I'm pretty sure that blood is thicker but I guess I get along with the ex well enough that it could work. Anyone else?
i think thats complicated as if you spend more time with them you will undoubtably encounter your ex husband often. I guess it depends on ur post divorce relationship w him.
I'm not married, but I guess it might be that before the divorce, they thought you were horrible to him and that he could get a better wife. Now they just wish he liked women.
Yah temptation you made me laugh for the first time today--I just sat and giggled. His brother said last night that when they met his friend they didn't think he was that good looking and his personality is a dud and they just thought, "you left your family for him?" I guess that often happens though, whether they leave for a gay or straight relationship.

Yeah, sounds like they just think their son could do better with, say, someone as rich as Tiger Woods. They are probably secretly hoping that you will seduce him back into being straight again. That's why they are being nice to you.
I've always had a good relationship with my in-laws, and my brothers have always had a unique relationship with my ex-wife's sister, sort of like the big sister we never had. Both my mother-in-law and sister-in-law fully support me in the divorce, and have even told me they look forward to meeting anyone else that I may be lucky enough to have a relationship with.
When my ex and I divorced, I'd always had a close relationship with one of his brothers and his wife. They let me know that while I was leaving their family, they still considered me their friend and I was always welcome at their house and we stayed close for awhile but I felt it was causing uncomfortable feeling within that family, especially when my ex remarried.. so I backed out of the picture..
Not with my in-laws, my ex-wife was poison, and made sure nobody would even give me the time of day.
However, I have had relationships which have ended, and I still see family members, I don't see what the problem is if you like them
If you hadn't split up, but your spouse had died, would you never see their family again ?
