Should your Inlaws' bad behavior towards you be primarily your husband's responsibility to confront considering they are HIS family?

He should definitely be backing me up (which he does) and squashing the BS when it starts (which he does). But of course, I NEVER miss an opportunity to stick up for myself.

Rick has never hesitated to stick up for me with his family, even if he thinks I am wrong. But I have no problems telling them exactly what I think when the occasion calls for it. I don't let them behave badly towards me for any reason, particularly in front of the kids.

But I have to say that I haven't had any problems with them in years now. The first 3-4 years were kinda rough with my FIL, but now he adores me - of course! Mainly because I fight back and no one else does!

No, I don't think it should be primarily his responsibility. I believe he should stick up for me and support me when something's going on between me and one of them, but I don't think that just because they are HIS family that he should be the main one saying something to them. I have had disagreements with various in-laws and have always handled it myself. But I always expected Billy to be behind me supporting me and he always has been. I've never once ran to him and told him he should talk to whoever about what they said or did becuase I am grown and can do that myself. I just don't see why it being his family means he has to be the one to fix the problem.

I agree with Lisa. I feel I should be able to stand on my feet and speak up for myself but I also like some back up if I need it. Which would be DH.

Yes!!! But when Jamie and I were married I had to take things into my hands quite a bit b/c he wouldn't do anything to make mommy mad and she was pushing her limits with Lexi!!!!

I say that I need to stick up for myself, but he should definately have my back and if he hears anything he should respond to it.
