writes: I recently took a trip with my husband to visit our families and everything was perfect until we went to my families house. No matter what we did my husband and mother could not get along. My husband feels like I ignore him when I visit my mom but he has no idea how hard it is to be so far away from her and then have to step on egg shells to visit with her. I am only 20 and have been married 2 years in April but that hasn't weakened my relationship with my mom. She likes him but doesn't know how to make things work between them. He hasn't gotten along with her this whole time. My mom is a very important person to me and I want them to get along. I do blame my husband for most of the problems because of how he is. Please help, this is ridiculously out of hand. Reply to this Question

this is not unusual. my partner does his best to avoid my parents but then they only ever have negative things to say about him. saying that, he is not prepared to make any effort. you need to tell your husband that your mother would be prepared to try and get on with him if he gave her the chance. see if you can find something they have in common. even if it's something as simple as a card game they both like, and try to include it in your next visit
