If you get married, would you want to live together with your partners' parents?

My mom and grandmom (dad's mom) had a fight last night over dinner. It was actually just a simple thing but neither gave way so they ended up arguing with each other. Whenever i witness scenes like this, i would say to myself that if i get married, i wouldnt stay with my husband's parents house or live with them under the same roof. But what if you are financially constrained? Will you go out and buy/rent a place of your own or would you choose to live with your husband/wives' parents?

Yes, in fact i am married and i am living with my in-laws. The reason we are staying together with them is because it's near to our work place. So it's very much convenient to us.
Best of all, I get along with them very well. They are really nice and they treat me well and special. I am very fortunate to have them as in-laws. They respect my privacy and i can talk to my mother-in-law on many topics and we even have conversations just like one of my friends. I am glad they are my in-laws and i thanked God for it.

good for you.. i have heard a lot of stories wherein the wife is always not in good terms with their in-laws, i was beginning to think that it's natural. But sometimes, when i think about it, i guess the reason for it is that the in-laws are afraid that the attention of their son will be diverted to the wife and not at them anymore..

I would certainly want to look for a place of our own if possible, even if I got along well with the family in question. It would just feel so.. restricted.. to live with someone else's family, even if I dearly loved them as people. But if we needed to stay with my significant other's family for a time due to money or other reasons, I would certainly not be against it. I would just prefer not to, if there were a way not to. (I am speaking hypothetically, of course, as i do not currently have a significant other. *laugh*)
In the end, I would definitely do whatever it takes to be able to be near the one I love. That is what means the most to me, even if it means staying for a time with their family, even if I did not get along well with their family. But I would really hope that I would love their family, too! ^_^

Honestly, I would prefer not having to live with my folks or my future in-laws, after my fiance and I get married. But I know that at times that is not always easy. I get along with my folks and future in-laws, but I think that it will just get awkward, my fiance's dad might get more annoyed, and besides, it won't be a place of our own. Personally, I prefer if the parents have their place and if we (my fiance and I) have a place of our own.
