Yes, my parents love my H. My brothers all get along with him really well, too. I get along great with my MIL & her H, but not my FIL & his wife. But they don't like me and I'm 80% sure they don't even like H that much judging by the way they treat him (really, I don't think they like anyone or anything- they're just miserable, lol) and he's not a fan of theirs either so it's not really a big deal.
They used to love him. Now I don't know how they feel about him. We have stopped taking a lot of crap from them, my mother in particular, and they butt heads now.
Yes, I think my mom likes him more than me, especially since he converted to Catholic a few years back. Really, he's pretty much perfect in her eyes. She's not so crazy about all her in law children however.
Oh yes, they love him. When H asked for my hand, both my dad and my step-dad asked him if he was sure, and if he knew what he was getting into with me. LOL
Since my step-dad passed away a few years ago, H has really stepped up to the plate in helping my mom take care of her house with repairs, etc. He does the maintenance on her lawn equipment, and other 'fix-it' type of things around the house.
They didn't like him at first-mostly they were just being very protective of me, but now they love him. Sometimes I think my dad likes H more than he likes me.
Sometimes I think my dad likes my H more than me. Whenever we leave from visiting he tells me to take care of H. I would be lying if I said it didn't suck a little bit every time he says it. Then again, my relationship with my dad is odd to begin with.
My dad hasn't met him and doesn't seem inclined to care about the fact that we are getting married in three months and would like him to be there. But SO's a dirty, hippie liberal so that would make my dad mad. My mom always says she likes people but nothing is ever good enough for her and she is very off putting. No matter who I have ever been with she makes me feel like I'm screwing up. The one time I dated a guy who was uber conservative and religious and exactly the kind of guy she would be crazy about she told me that he wasn't the right kind of guy for me, but when I'm with the right kind of guy for me she freaks out because it isn't the right kind of guy for her. There's no winning with that woman.
I like my SO and so does DS. That's good enough for me.
