Hi violet,
I read this thread fully. I sympathise with you & can fully understand your longing to get back your previously loving husband. Ria and Sihi have given very valuable advice...
I can just tell you some of my own experiences. When my mil was here, she was eager to give honey to my 5-month old baby. She thought I insulted her when I told her it's dangerous and that doctors dont advise honey till babies turn 1. I agreed with her that even I had been given honey when I was small, but now, the times have changed, etc. But she felt offended and maintained that her ways of parenting are superior. My husband didnt interfere much in this issue, though he believed me, he was inclined towards his mom. See, husbands want to give such a lot of importance to their parents, and they want YOU to do likewise. What they say/do may be unreasonable; but your best bet is to bear with their truants, just like you bear with your kids'

In order to win your husband back, give him time and assure him that you do care for n respect ur in-laws no matter how unreasonable they are. Too difficult, isnt it? But thats the only solution (unless your husband suffers from amnesia.

just joking!)
