In laws will never understand or appreciate me

My in-laws constantly talk only about themselves and their own family. They have never bothered to get to know me and really don’t care who I am or what I do. They maintain contact with girlfriends/wives etc only because that person is linked to their son. They genuinely don’t give a damn what woman it is as long as their requirements are met.

Ive always hoped that I could become a real friend with my in-laws or a real part of the family but I’ve realised that I will always just be an obligation that serves a specific purpose. AIBU to feel sad about this? Does anyone else experience the same?

Yep

you have every right to be sad but don’t let them have that power over you.
