Relationship of 15 years, married for 4.
3 kids between 8 &13.
Horrendous in-laws causing issues stemming from lies. Husband not being supportive and carrying on like it never happened with his family and telling me to let it go. Previously decent relationship with husband and in-laws but this feels like their feelings count more then mine and it’s causing problems. In-laws have strange family dynamics where nothing is ever discussed and all very fake. Feeling like it would be better long term to get out instead of the constant resentment which is impacting on everyone.

I think it would help us to help you if we knew what these lies are all about and how they impact you. I'm very sorry you're struggling.

So your inlaws are interferring and your DH not supporting you? You need to talk to him so be can see your point of view

We need more details to know exactly.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Depends on the details

What are they doing? I don't think it's very clear.

It really depends on the situation.

I don't think anyone can really comment without details

I think living difficult in laws and an unsupportive partner can be a real recipe for disaster.

Im reading that they have behaved badly towards you and your husband would prefer if you just move on and not rock the boat.
He is putting his needs ahead of supporting you and making it clear to his family that his wife and children come first?

This often happens with men put in this position.
They don't like conflict.
They have an unhealthy dependence on their family.
They are quite selfish.
They certainly aren't loyal.

I think loyalty is critical to a good relationship.

Have you spoken to your husband and made it crystal clear that his behaviour is not acceptable?

Have you told him you are NOT moving on from this without a satisfactory resolution?

Have you told him this could be a deal breaker for you?

Speaking really plainly is crucial.

He needs to know exactly where you are and how you feel.

Is there a middle ground that ye both would be happy to occupy?

Is there room for compromise?

How serious is his family's transgression?

If he makes it clear he is never going to have your back and put you first, I could well imagine that it ould end a marriage.

excellent post billy, totally agree.
also, your dh knows you wont be going anywhere after such long time so, he thinks you will suck it up.
