Me and DH split for 3 months last year, it was a build up from a Few years of being unhappy but since then we have had marriage counselling and are better than ever.

When we were separated he got very nasty and hurtful and was accusing me of having an affair (I wasn't) and said he'd like our ds off me. It was the worst time and very emotional.
I deleted all his family (mum, brother, sil, and a cousin) from Facebook purely for self preservation. Since things. Have been ok I've explained to his family the reasons I deleted them and said it was nothing personal it was just a horrible upsetting time. Since then his mum has been ok with me but his brother and sil are still frosty.
I've asked twice now if we can get together but been fobbed off twice. Should I just give up or should I try again? My ds is only 5 and I'd like him to have his auntie and uncle but I feel like I'm banging my head against a wall keep trying when it feels like they are punishing me for having marriage problems!

I'd be more worried about what you husband said to his family about you? Did he tell them you'd been unfaithful? All the examples of your poor behaviour and not his?

I'd also be wondering what he's said to them.

DH thought I was having an affair but I wasn't, we had just drifted apart so he did tell them his fears. But even IF I had had an affair, the fact is that it's our marriage and we are back together and better than before so to me it feels like they are shunning me

Leave it be. You've tried. The ball is in their court now.

it’s down to your child’s father to facilitate a relationship with his family not you.
