I didnt really like the 'I aint going to your sisters house' part, but other than that it was interesting.

Same here - if my family was important to me (which they are), I'd be really angry if DH wouldn't come with me to spend time with them.

I might be the minority but I respect Dr.Phil's stance on the whole family thing

Why drag your husband/wife along somewhere- even if its to visit family- if they will just be miserable and ruin it for you?

And the more I think about it, I really want to visit my family now without my husband b/c they act different when he's around. I'd kinda like to reconnect with them the way it used to be before I moved away and got married

Good article, but I also disgaree on the sistrs house thing. maybe ti was the way he worded it. it just sounded so cold..and ..odd..he likes them but he can't stand going to their house? That just strikes me as so weird. Spending a day wit =h my in laws in not my ideal day, but I go to support FH and he does the same for me...I don't think it's right to just say 'well I don't like that, so I'm not coming'
