Commenting cause curious! I don’t have a father in law!
Amazing. Love that man dearly. Sometimes I call him dad.
My FIL is amazing! I haven’t spoken to my “dad” in over 20 years. No plans to change that. My grandpa was the most amazing person in my life. I miss him every day. My FIL is someone I can always turn to and I actually just got off the phone with him. We talk at least once a week.
My best friends dad, step dad and FIL are all like fathers to me as well
We are kind to each other but there is no attachment.
Getting to know my FIL and really disliking him as a person helped me to see how hard my dad was trying even though it always felt like he didn’t understand me. We still have tension sometimes, but he willing to take responsibility and apologize in ways that my FIL never will.
He doesn’t know I exist 🫠

They have been good over the years, still friendly with my ex FIL, Was welcomed to another partners time with their father even after we broke up. Pretty much confirmed that my father is shitty but there are good ones out there.
My Father in Law hates my guts because I’m chronically ill and biracial. He said this in front of me, to my husband: “why’d you have to pick the sick one? There’s a million girls that look just like her- and you pick THIS???”.
My husband’s reply: “I don’t want anyone else. I’m not scared of her chronic illness, I love her anyway and want to be with her”.
