Patient's question:
I've had a major fight with my mother-in-law! It's about childcare, and I've also argued with my husband many times over the mother-in-law, leading to threats of breaking up. Now, we've finally managed to maintain our marital relationship, not going back to her family's house, and having no contact. My husband also agrees to live a stable life. But now, his older brother's kid is getting married, and I'm wondering if I should come back.Doctor's answer:
A happy family is not just about the husband, wife, and children, but also involves other family members from both households. Even if you have a falling out with your mother-in-law, your husband cannot completely sever ties with her in reality. If you want to harmonize the relationship between husband and wife, it's important to start from his perspective and put yourself in his shoes to alleviate his burdens. This way, many issues can be resolved more smoothly.
