Who does your husband put first?

My husband puts his family first and it’s straining our relationship? Does your husband put his family first (mom / dad, etc.) or you? Anyone else going through similar experience with husband prioritizing his family first?

My husband puts me and baby first. I don’t think it’s okay to put his family first before you but there might be other things to it. My dad put his family above us and it affected us. I think you should talk to him about it and come to a middle ground

I would definitely talk to him about this. The whole point of marriage is that you create your own family and you leave your old one. They still matter but your family that you create comes first always. My husband use to be a mommas boy but this was when we first started dating and we were young. It caused a lot of issues because he would go to her about issues we had instead of talking to me about it. Then when he wasn’t around she would say things to me. Now like he loves his parents and all but they are separate from our family every part of our family comes first even during holidays. They don’t get to dictate where we spend our holidays if we go there it’s because we want to. My best friend her husband is all about his side of the family it’s not that he doesn’t love his wife and child but he genuinely sees nothing wrong with putting his parents first or making them the center of his decisions. Which has caused so much resentment for my friend towards her in-laws.

No matter how much she speaks to her husband he just doesn’t it see it the same way.

Me and my baby first always!! You made your own family and that’s his responsibility now over that one. He doesn’t need to choose between you and them but in situations you come first.
