Why makes a LOVER loves the WHOLE FAMILY?

In my country, if you are loving someone, he or she needs to love the whole family. It is the culture of the Filipinos to be in this situation. However, some daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law are not agreeing with so many things. At some point, they call them 'monsters-in-law.' Is this a myth? What do you think, myLotters?

If a person got married,they should separate from parents..they should live and have their own own home to avoid monster in laws. Monster in laws are only there if you live with them

@rhuenz I agree. That's the best option for them to refrain from clashing with their mothers-in-law. @Overflowing

I can imagine how they feel when there is a moment of an argument with their mothers-in-law.

I love that movie and have watched it several times. It's the same type of culture in India as well and the bond between the MIL and DIL is interesting... It's almost like a soccer game where both keep playing against each other without actually directly engaging in a fight(most of the times) and of course the husband being the soccer ball But oh well, there is no spice in life without a game! What say!

On the bright side, it can still spice up the life of a married woman.

That's the thing now. Sadly, this is why foreigners forced to spend here and there not only for the woman but also her family. Only to realize he or she was being scammed. Not even locals are safe, I mean I've watch a couple of tulfo episodes, in laws can be a pain.

It is impossible to impose to people to love others. You must love the person who will be your wife or your husband, it is better if you like the family, but if not, you try to stay away as much as you can. We cannot even love our own family sometimes, this claim is ridiculous.

In laws are usually not coexisting in harmony. If it happens, then you are very lucky. There always friction and misunderstanding in such relationships

I do agree that there is no perfect relationship. There are always have similarities and differences.

It is not a myth AT ALL! I have heard of those stories where mother-in-law does not get along with the daughter-in-law so it might turn things into a disaster and fights! It happens in all cultures I guess!

I’ve learned that dealing with family in general is very difficult as obviously everyone likes to judge everyone else.

I am sure that I am not close to my relatives. I can be judged by others in a constructive way.

It's the same here in India too. It's good in a way. But also sometimes it can have a negative impact as people's minds are really complex. An unknown man or woman becoming the part of a new family, and you can also see how he behave with others, treats others, it says a lot about himself or herself. But it is not the only option. I have two sisters. One of my sisters has arranged marriage, and it's the same situation as you mentioned. Her husband loves his own family as well as he loves us too. He treats my mom and dad like his own. We are lucky to have someone like him in our family, and also my sister is lucky to have him. Again my other sister, who did love marriage, her husband also the same. He also treats every one of us like his own family members. It's really common here. But I have seen a lot of people also who have no relation with family, after marriage, they live in other place and no contact with the family.
