this is your sons wife? My husband has a great relationship with our sons wife. I get along with her fine but they seem have a kindred spirit and can talk for hours. Its just that some personalities connect. They arent flirty or sexually charged conversations at all, but simply that they value one another as people...we are two seperate people and they are family. My husband has never given me reason to be jealous. The conversations are in a family setting. If they started going off together alone my feelings would change in a hurry...so is there something that is setting off red flags or is this insecurity? Good luck, mal

Illithid agony auntYour husband is close with your daughter-in-law. I take it this is his natural daughter then? It's a good thing that he has a close relationship with his child. That's normal and healthy, as long as the three of you have a relationship TOO. I would be worried though if he feels that he cannot share her with you now that she's you daughter too.

AuntyEm agony auntHmm its not wrong to get on with the relatives but it is a bit odd when your husband thinks he should have a separate relationship with your daughter in law. You need to dig a bit deeper...perhaps speak to your daughter in law and see if things are 'innocent' on her end...I admit if it were me...I'd let them both know that it was bothering me.

As far as a relationship with your daughter in law goes, both you and your husband should be a package deal...I also wonder what your son thinks???
