My FSIL is 30. She's been married for the better part of 10 years and lives with her in laws. She is a modern person who has a job and who has studied and she and her husband love eachother...and to be honest, she is the only person I know who I can ask about living with in-laws who is around my age. She knows what it's like, what to expect, the conflicts and positive points. I don't have anyone in my family who lived with their in laws and stayed there and she is a very nice person. BF says it's a good idea to ask and I'm sure she'd be really happy to answer any questions. It's not a bad idea, is it? Obviously I wouldn't say anything awful to her, I just want to know how it is. The only other person whose experiences I have heard is my aunt who is unhappy regardless of what happens. My aunt lives with my elderly grandparents and is never really happy about anything. So, asking her actually makes me feel worse.
What do we think about this? My FSIL travels with her husband all the time, they go out, they have their own life...and they are very happy. I think it'd be a good thing to talk to her...I can relate to her.
