Only family I have left on my side is my sister and parents. Never had a large extended family growing up - it'd be more accurate to refer to it as a truncated family, in complete honesty. Was something of a culture shock when I found out that my wife's extended family numbers in the region of ~200 at last count.
I get on fine with my parents and sister, and my wife's immediate family are generally pretty sound - there's a couple of exceptions, but meh. Can't like everyone. ____________________ '10 SV650SF, '83 GS650GT (it lives!), Questionable DIY dash project, 3D Printer project, Lasercutter project |

I recommend S01E05 of Bojack Horseman, as this website on narcissism rightly applauds (here), for actually daring to show a family that is a negative impact.
My slight thread hijack could be:
Why do so many couples, married or longterm, seem to exist in a stable state of disdain, abuse or nastiness? See it so often when staying with people, I'd say 50% seem to be praying the other either dies (so they can escape), would avoid them completely or would come summit to crap 24/7.

I think the driving factor is:
1. They don't want to give up the comfort they have managed to acquire; or
2, What if they end up really skint and have to live in *gasp* social housing?
Many people are terrified of ending up losing "everything they own", even if they claim not to be materialistic. The thought of having NOTHING (even if you still have a good job) is terrifying.
But once you've been there ... it's not so bad. You soon accumulate things, even if it is only one plastic bag at a time
When I lost literally everything, I started again with a couple of books and an incense burner. Twelve years later, I'm back to my original state of disarray.
I reckon a lot of people get too comfortable, and then just don't want that lifestyle to change, so they just put up with [whoever] and find other ways of entertaining themselves. ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |

I would suggest that there is a lot of people are also terrified of loneliness, so would rather put up with what they know, than risk regretting it and being lonley. ____________________ Riding: Yamaha MT-09 Tracer Occasionally Riding: 08 Suzuki SV650, Potato: 2011 Yamaha YBR Custom.

Yeah I suppose there's that, too.
I do get quite lonely even in a loving relationship such as I have, but that's cos I've distanced people to "protect" myself from the risk of emotional damage, and despite many offers of going-out, meeting-up, etc, I have mostly ignored them at my own peril, and ended up being Jenny No-Mates, whereas my fella has too much work/not enough time, and a million people wanting to be his friend (or kill him, one or the other, never sure which is going on at any one point in time ) most of which keeps him out of the house for 80% of our life together.
So I am learning, somewhat late in life, to accept an extended hand of friendship, so I don't become the mad cat lady of Old London Town. ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |

Mother died years ago loved her to bits
Dad pissed off when I was 14 only started speaking to him in the last 3 years or so (in 53 now)
but he is why I'm into bikes he always had bikes and I helped work on them
Brother moved away when he was 16, off / on spoke up till 3 years ago then we fell out and havn't spoken since
sister stays 500 yards from me until recently I avoided her as we are chalk & cheese
her and my Brother havn't spoken since my mun died
brother and dad did speak for a bit but didn't last long
Sister doesn't talk to dad at all and had had no contact since he buggered off
so pretty disjointed family
you can choose your friends but not your family ____________________ I have become comfortably numb

Not spoken to my mother, brother or sisters since my grandmother died in '09, and I found out the whore had been emptying her bank account for a couple of years previously, whilst she was suffering from cancer. ____________________ Mpd72: I can categorically say i’m Brighter than that, no matter how I come across on here.

If I consent to being talked to like a twat, or talked at for hours about golf/cats/how awesome my father thinks he is, then yes. Really well.
