is it nice having a close relationship with in-laws?

Do you think it's nice to be close to your in-laws? I'm not allowed to be too close to my in-laws (my husband himself doesn't allow it), he says it's to keep my mother-in-law from interfering. But honestly, she seems nice. When I see my friends who are close to their in-laws, I feel envious... while I'm always restricted, not even allowed to contact them directly. If there's anything, it has to go through my husband. But it's true that there's never been any interference in our marriage. Anyone have a similar experience? Or anyone close to their in-laws? Share your stories, I'm curious what it's like...

I live with my in-laws, and to be honest, it does interfere A LOT with your life, lifestyle and relationship. My in-laws have their own idealogies and they are disapproving if I'm not following. Example, waking up early or eating no carbs etc. It gets tougher when my husband and I have a more heated discussion, and they'd always interfere and want to know what's going on. Usually their interference never helps with our discussion, and most of the time, they get angry too. What bothers me most is really that I don't get to eat what I want before and during pregancy. Snacking is prohibited and eating an ice bar infront of them makes them think I'm very unhealthy.. 😞 I think having distance from "outsiders" are best. We have our own lives to live. It's super tiring and bothersome to always consider other people's opinions.
