Building a harmonious relationship with your partner's parents is, frankly speaking, not an easy task. Sometimes it can be difficult even to understand their true attitude towards you.
If you are worried that your significant other's parents don't like you, be a little observant and analyze their behavior.
Found the signs listed in this article? Unfortunately, your suspicions were not unfounded.
Show indifference
If there is a hint of coldness even in a greeting, there is no doubt that your mom and dad (not yours, of course) are negatively disposed.
This is also indicated by the fact that your partner’s parents do not want to communicate with you: they do not engage in dialogue, do not laugh at jokes, or ignore your questions.
They criticize
If the older generation of your chosen one’s family constantly makes ironic remarks or uses more caustic and aggressive phrases in communication with you, this is a bad sign.
Criticism, by the way, can extend to absolutely everything: appearance, character, work, etc.
Compared to exes
Comparing yourself to your predecessor every minute does not bode well either. Is it worth explaining that you will not be the winner in this comparison?
This technique is used by parents to undermine your authority in the eyes of their son (daughter) and lower your self-esteem.
They organize a conflict
In situations where you are not "the right fit", your significant other's parents use real theatrical scenes to turn the slightest disagreement into a four-act drama.
In such productions, you are assigned the role of the main negative character who has no right to vote.
They look "through" you
Often, just one look can tell you how a person feels about you. So, if your partner's parents avoid eye contact and seem to look "through" you, words are superfluous - you will have to work hard to strengthen your relationship with potential relatives.
