It's a shame that your family hates him. Sounds like they are judging

a book by its cover and not the contents of the book. All that

matters is the relationship that the two of you have. If you love

each other and take care of each other, then who cares what they

think? You can't make people see things that they don't want to see.

I am sure it puts a stress on the two of you, because of course we

would like to have each others' families like us, BUT if they aren't

open enough to see him as a real person and not dollar signs, then

don't let it get to you. Easier said then done, but you married him,

they didn't!

I have almost the opposite problem, my family loves my husband, but his

family cannot stand me. We feel that we are soul mates and very much

in love with each other.

I can relate Katrena! It was that way with my first husband (my high

school sweetheart, no less!). Actually, after we divorced my family

told me they never really liked him all that much!

My husband and I (now married for 8 years and going strong!!) have

such a wonderful relationship! My family adores him and his family

likes me as well! He knew all about my chronic pain and ,y

medications before we married, and he has never had any problem with

it. He is the most supportive, understanding, helpful man in the

world! I am very lucky!
