How one makes one's sub-relatives worthy to sit at the feet of your partner's super-intelligent, kind and better family? How make the things work when your part of the deal is to be a doormat and keep your mouth always shut? How to be yourself with the chain at your neck ending at your partner's ankle, partner whom you love? What Poles or others do?

Well, I can only speak for myself- but I moved to an entirely different country. Distance works for me.

Yes, distance is the key. A marriage is between two people so the focus of the relationship should be on just the two people, and the rest should be more distant background. I swear, whenever I have to deal for a longer time with my in-laws, especially his mother I'm seriously considering a divorce, that's how badly things get out of focus.

I'm sorry about the way you feel and I hope for a better state of things in your relationship soon. Did you try to talk to your partner and explain, how you feel? Maybe that could help?

Just give you a good old head butt and dont worry about it, seems to be the obvious option.

That is step 1 for sure. Or else it will not be better. But it is important to say it "in the right way". And not only present criticism.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for support, but I am not in a relationship, at least as of today. Just some experience and observations. It was very interesting, though, that female posters concentrated on the relatives part while man's doormat status escaped their attention so naturally ;)
Marynka11:

Do women talk to doormats? Usually they like them, need them to wipe off their feet, but not hear. Oh, no. Man's every word is the word of his mother, because only his partner can have a valid opinion and his opinion could not possibly come from his brain - no way - it's always the in-law's idea.
Are there ever problems with male in-laws on either side? Nope. Only where there are two women: older and younger and both stupid, which is usually the case, which makes the life of the two families miserable.

It is tough. If some men had vaginas and could bear a kid, I wouldn't even think twice, but, unfortunately this is not the case :(

Hang oneself? Become a gay? It is not so obvious.

If men could have babies, there would be zero percent population growth. Just ask Zimmy...

A sincere thanks PF, for putting up with me FIVE terrific years, muah!

Men like shag*in* too much for there to be zero, the population would be much higher, but they'd find stronger drugs to kill the pain of child birth :)

Nathan, you mention "doormat" far too much sweetie, try and be more assertive and avoid women who are over-controlling - find a nice chilled out lady who has a similar outlook who has a mind of her own and doesnt look to her family for advice for everything she does....

Ok, it turned out now to trying to convince me personally, which is not the case. I am not talking about myself. Again, most of what I said is from observing close to me people. And if it was a single case, I would say: it is rare. But it is not. It is a behavioral feature that is prevailing in many women and I agree with Zimmy in that regard. Just being curious to understand, I would like to ask you, ladies: is it predominantly hormonal, psychological, environmental? Do some women search to assure themselves while feeling inadequate and failing to do it anywhere else, make their "success" especially pronounced at home? Does child-bearing justify women's pseudo-weakness which is often used in completely unrelated issues to the disadvantage of men? Yes, there is a child-birth pain - that's why men invented epidural. But is this pain so bad to blackmail the whole world constantly, before and after?

Im chilled as hell and happy as larry with my fella - no demands no stress nice equal partnership - the same with my other friends in their relationships :) (we're all English though so it may be different) I also wasnt aware that child-bearing was a blackmail issue to be honest.

Thank you for inventing the epidural :)

Actually I have never heard a woman using child-breaing to "blackmail" her man.
However, there are probably other things women can use to blackmail men.

Do you think women want their men to be doormats?

I don't fight. I just posted a few questions which I am trying to solve:
1.) mother-in-law---daughter/son-in-law conflicts - why is there a female bias?
2.) why female's family is always better?
3.) why preservation of marriages often turn out to be a fight between being oneself and doormat, not a dialogue of 2 people, compromise?
pip:

You know as I read it again I see why you feel this way. I wasn't doubting or talking about women's intelligence or ability to do any type of work. "Success" was meant to denote the creation of hell at home, which gives a feeling of control and power which is impermissible in other extradomicile social interactions.

If it is not possible to compromise, the relationship will end sooner or later (probably sooner). It does not matter what you do (doormat or not).

I still do not think that women want their men to be doormats. Maybe women want sensitive men, but not doormats. However I am not a women...

Nah dude if the guy takes it, its a match made in heaven. Most men are doormats SOW (scared of women).

So, why take it??? I think the women became too feminine in the recent years. The propaganda of skinny dystrophics as a symbol of a beautiful woman made the epidural indispensible. Kids used to fall out like apples in the Middle Ages, now we need 6 people to pull out a single treasure.

P.S. Sorry for double post - some tech malfunction.

This is actually true. It is well known that very thin girls have more complicated deliveries. And a higher incidence of Caesarean sections.

These days in America you almost have to fight not to get it, or any pain killers. Seriously, the hospital stuff almost made me feel guilty for not wanting it.

1. The stereotype is that mothers have hard time letting go of their sons. They want to have part in the marriage. Wives want their husbands to themselves. But that's not my case.

I have to say I had a good relationship with my mother in-low until the kids showed up. Then she started pushing on me her ideas about motherhood, starting from how often to nurse to taking offense that I stayed at home with the kids (which is not what she did), to the amounts of sugar and junk food the kids are allowed to consume. But the ocean between us works wonders.

2. Female is not always better.

3. Very subjective. It takes work from both sides to preserve a marriage. And if one person sacrifices all, and the other person nothing this marriage is doomed to fail.

Women confind more in their mothers - therefore mother gets more info, sons keep their mouths shut and get on with it, mother non the wiser :)

Not sure about that - every family is different.

Because some women are unable to sort out private matters without involving mummy dearest..A big mistake IMO - whilst my mum will "offer" advice, she would never "tell" me what I should do - this is in general, where matters of the heart are concerned - she wouldnt get involved - example - was with someone for 6 years, she only told me after I dumped him that she never liked him :D

Hmmm.not sure its its so rare, but yes it precious and thank you x

And ploughing fields was so easy back then too and now we use all of this machinery, where's the fun in that? :) I know where you are coming from, but its call progress and just same as anathetic is used these days when taking out teeth or cutting of limbs :) Also you may like to look at the mortality rates back then when these little treasures came along.

Many fathers have hard time letting go of their daughters. But they often dont admit it "officially".

you need to get a better lendses or change your outlook on life. to be honest it seems that you are a lowself estem freak.

wow there is definitly a problem with your way of thinking, you are so weak that you began to hallucinate at the point of your low selfesteam. Polish forums can't help you here, you need to see a psychological therapy to clarify your mind OR
