Do you get along with your significant others siblings?
For me, we just say hi here and there when we run across each other but we don't hang out, or speak to each other. It's because my boyfriend isn't close to his sibblings either - they used to when they were younger, I guess but not when they are grown up.... so that's why we don't have a close bond.
Do you share a close bond with your significant others siblings?

I get along with one of my brother in laws but not the other. I was close with the one when we where younger but that was before he went off the deep end. Now neither my husband or I have anything to do with him. I was also closer to my oldest brother in law until he got married. We are not rich enough for her tastes there fore are low class, once they had kids it became pretty much only family events. It's sad but it is what it is.

Her family is all about the money. Dropping names, showing off name brands, blah,blah.

Sorry to hear that she's like that. Not worth being associated with her!

I don't hang out with them outside of family functions without my husband around but they're ok. His sisters I can't really stand to be in the same room with for more than an hour or so but his brother is really cool. I think we would be friends if I wasn't with my husband.

I see, thanks for sharing. It's hard to get along with the females than males in general in my opinion too.

I am kind of close with my husbands sister. We go do things together sometimes, and we call each other. There really has never been a time when we didn't get along. She usually trys to stay in the middle ground when I was getting along with their mother, but for the past year or so everything has been fine. I find myself a little reserved around them sometimes but for the most part we all get along. His extended family on the other hand, it is more like your situation. We don't go to a lot of his family functions because my husband doesn't like to, so most of his family members really don't know me to well. So when we all get together I am mainly standing there talking to my husband and his mom/sister/dad because that is really only the people I know closely. I haven't tried to outcast myself from his family, it just kinda happened that way. Maybe in the future if you get married you and his siblings will become closer, but it is hard to do if your boyfriend isn't around her much either.

Not all the time, and not aswell as i get along with my significant other... But we acan all stay in the same room for a dinner or family function and chat and get along quite well. They are uite similar to my partner and he is quite similar to me but it is still a little nerve wracking. I wan them to like me, and i dont often care what peoples opinion of me is so it is abit of a fake friendship i guess. always trying to impress the inlaws.

hello infatuatedbby,
Yes,me and my siblings get along well.
I can say that,now that we are all married and have kids of our own we get more closer to each other.
We understand each other better when dealing with problems.
It is because we are all grown ups and matured and we don't want our kids to experience any gap in between the relationships.
We want our kids to live,grow us closer as they can be.
There is no one this world that can understand us better ,it's our family.
So,we should always have a good relationship and understanding with each other.
have a good day

since none of my siblings are married yet, i can only tell you about how i relate to their girlfriends and bfs
i never had a good relationship with any of my sister's bfs in the past
only recently have i really been more open to accepting them as friends
with my brothers' gfs i've had no problem
they see me as the older brother
and i treat them well

When my husband and I are not yet married, I get along with my sisters-in-law better than at present. We actually spend time together and even sleep together. Maybe because I am only with them for a whole day or couple of hours in a month. But things have changed after the wedding. They became the pain I carry everyday. I will not go into details but I prefer not to talk to them anymore. It is true that you will only know the true personality or character of the person when you live with them in one roof. Being with them with just a day or two isn't enough.

Actually, I'm the sibling and your description with your significant other sibling's is the same with my relationship with my sibling's romantic interest.
Our relationship is basically non-exist in the past. The interest barely talked to me and I prefer that since I wasn't really interested in my sibling's relationships or love life. Though the interest love to hang in our house, it is always restricted to my sibling's room, perhaps out of respect. The interest rarely eats, unless being coerced. I never knew how to interpret that behavior.
But lately, we did spend some time together on the road. The interest managed to spill the beans and made me learn a little about the interest's background. It also explained some things that my sibling would not likely share with me with respect to the interest.
I hope that our relationship continues to grow. I am frequently touch by her concerns and it makes great moments when we try to team against my sibling.
