My family have welcomed him with open arms, however his family are not keen on me, and are not very nice to my bf.They pile loads of responsibilty on to both of us, expecting us to spend our time together looking after his younger brothers (11 and 14) whilst they go out, and if we refuse we get told 'well you two better not bother having kids of your own if you cant looking after these' - pretty harsh considering I had a miscarriage 2 years ago.I'm always pleasant and helfpul and both me and my family have helped boyfriend out no end financial, as they go around broadcasting they are too poor (even though my bf gives them £200 board a month), and they have never said thankyou for anything I do for them.I've given up buying them xmas and birthday presents as last years chirstmas gifts got branded a load of cr@p by his dad (I was only on a student loan)Last weekend I went to visit and they insisted there wasnt enough room in the house for me, and I ended up having to spend the weekend in a B and B.My boyfriend and I were considering getting engaged, but I can just imagine they'll tell us not to bother spending money on a wedding as we'll be divorced within the year.Sorry for the long post, but i'm at the end of my tether, I love my boyfriend to bits, and his parents won't split us up, I just want to know how to overcome such negativity??x

 Hey inlaws can be a nightmare sometimes, but unfortunatly they come as part of the package just stick together and try not to let them get to you, you two are the most important thing.
Take care.xx.

 If you two love each other thats all that matters. It does not matter who does or does not like your relationship, you guys are the one in it, and if thats what you both want then dont let anyone come between that or ruien it!
Good Luck
