Relationships with in-laws are one of the most tricky relationships to navigate. I see this so often in my practice. And in particular, I see wives and mothers-in-law having the most issues.

I often see husbands feeling caught in the middle, because he’s caught between two people that he loves. He’s caught between his mother who birthed him and raised him, and then this and his wife who he is building a life with.

This becomes extra complicated when the husband has an especially close relationship with his mother, or his mother raised him on her own. Oftentimes in this situation, the husband feels like he needs to take care of his mother, because he understands the sacrifice and hardships his mother went through.

What adds another layer of complication (especially in the San Jose and San Francisco Bay Area) is when the husband and wife move in with the in-laws. Add on top of that the cultural expectations when dealing with certain cultures.

For example, in Asian cultures, there’s more of a hierarchy and filial piety where the younger generation is expected to respect the elders (not that other cultures don’t respect elders!).

However, in Asian cultures, that value is even more intensified. You can see how this would bring up conflict in a lot of marriages. And if this is you, you are not alone. I will be giving advice to both husbands and wives to navigate this tricky situation.

In this video and on my blog post I highlight some useful tips for navigating this tricky situation.
