    Nads the way you spoke about nanny di made me tear up a bit ... so so beautiful .
    I get why Dina was so protective over you after being through so much ... my sis is exactly the same with me ... if I even mention a guys name she goes into protective sister mode ! This was so interesting .. love hearing all about your family xxx

    I am Mark in relation to coming from a small family and marrying an enormous family. I often wept in the toilet at family functions with the sheer intensity and vast numbers of bodies not to mention personalities. It was a Venus Mars type energy. 20 years in and boundaries established my husband can finally see how very distressed i was despite my love for his people. Its Empathy and Kindness. Detaching with Love x thank you darlings. You make a difference

    I remember the friction my late husband and I experienced in the beginning of our marriage because of cultural and familial differences. I came from a very Latin family (French mother, Spanish dad) where all emotions and conflicts are expressed out loud, good or bad. We were small in number but very close and shared most of life's moments together. My husband's family were very closed off emotionally and dealt with their problems by not discussing them at all. But I can't help but think, had we discussed boundaries and emotions at the very beginning, maybe we could've avoided a lot of trouble we had early on in our marriage and maybe his death later on. My husband committed suicide at the age of 37, so I have many regrets, especially some of the early, rocky moments of our marriage. Sadly, I can't fix that now. But it does my heart good to see how transparent and honest you and Mark are about your early marital differences. Because of this, you might possibly give someone the courage to speak to their partner and seek practical answers to what otherwise seems an impossible situation. Thank you and good luck to you both!

    Wow, what an amazingly honest film. I'm very divorced and have had a couple of relationships, it is a very contentious. The final nail in my relationship coffin was a row about his mother. I packed and left. That was eight years ago. Been single ever since, I'm 58 and haven't got the energy to do it again lol xx

    Your vlog was so timely as my son had his 16th party last weekend and there was I all alone with the tribe...I went to work the next day and cried as I felt like an outsider outnumbered by the tribe especially as my son veers more towards their culture than the British culture(which I totally understand)but this video has helped to heal my heart....thankyou so so much!
    You have so many blessings coming your way for all your amazing work!💜🙏

    Mark I really hope you do read this basically you have got 4 beautiful daughters and it doesn't matter how many mothers they belong too.
    You had three beautiful relationships and you've got the most precious unique children from those relationships. If they all had one mother they wouldn't be the daughter's you have today. Xxx

      Hi mark my partner has a total of 7 kids from 3 different women and when I first met him he just told me about his 2 youngest sons and never mentioned his other 5 kids because he doesn’t have any contact with any of them after the mums stopped him from seeing them but I’ve never known what the real reason of that was I’ve moved away from my family leaving my boys in Nottinghamshire I now live in Northamptonshire but my partner doesn’t have parents as his mum was murdered by his half brother and since then my partner has become very cold on emotions and not showing anything I’ve met his brother and sister in law and all his friends xx

    • @angelaknowles73ak
      @angelaknowles73ak 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I agree my partner has 7 children from 3 different mothers but my partner is a very emotionless person due to his childhood growing up without a mum who he adored and a dad he never knew Cos he was born out of an affair but like his relationships he had affairs on all his relationships and to be honest he’s already slept with his wife who he won’t divorce for god knows what reason but I’m also convinced he’s having an affair with someone now but I can’t prove anything xx

    How lovely that you could be honest with your mum mark, about past hurts. Its the only way for healing to happen. I had a very difficult time with my very large family. I had to endure much from them for many years without complaint. In the end I had to cut ties. Very sad 🙄

    Love #29, you two were just meant to be. You are with out doubt soul mates just like my Husband and me and we were married within seven months of meeting each other and that was 35 years ago. We had total respect for each others parents but that over the years was earned by them, they were supportive and fantastic. Unfortunately they have all passed away now, my Mum and Father In Law just late last year within two months of each other, so that was really hard. You are both really fortunate to still have your lovely Mum's and Dad in your lives.

    Thanks you so much for this. It hit home for me and I am so grateful to know other people also struggle with this delicate dance of having in laws! Would you feel comfortable talking a little more about how you set the boundaries with your families? What did those conversations look like and how were they received? I am having a very very difficult time with my in-laws and know that conversation is long over due - trouble is knowing the best way to approach it without making anyone defensive. I have so much respect for you both and so appreciate your honesty! Thank you

    Hi Guys! Nadia your looking very glam 🤩💜 I always wanted a big family, but like Mark ours is a small one as is my hubbies, sounds exciting all Nadia’s family around you, but I try and make the most of what we’ve got, and like Mark I’m sure In reality I’d find it at times too over powering, as we also like our own private times albeit what family we do have we treasure. Love hearing your stories 💕

    Wow wow wow.....what an amazing vlog!!!.....You are helping me sooooo much and I am eternally grateful.
    My ex husband is Assyrian and I wish I had thought to describe his family as TRIBAL because that’s exactly what they are.....I call them the Klan but tribal is soo much better.
    My son feels more Assyrian than English and I understand why and have no problem with that.I am like Mark with a teeny tiny family .I told my son that you used the word tribal and he loves his Assyrian family but he totally agreed with this word as an accurate description.
    Going to make the yummy Medjool dates now Nadia,thankyou!
    I’ve lost three pounds and we are on day 25 eh Nadia!
    Love you guys...you’re beyond wonderful 🙏💕

    Hi guys what a great topic !!! Well I've been married nearly 30years and I've never been invited to my mother in laws for a cup of tea let alone a tribal feast lol , it upset me for years that she didn't want to spend time with me and my children ,like you nadia I'm family mad and my side do everything together and my poor husband puts up with so much , I kept saying why doesn't your mum like us , his reply was she wasn't a great mum so she's not going to be a great nannie , I hear mark say he didn't have a close mum son relationship but nannie di is so close to your children which is lovely , this year my mother in law has been quite poorly and I've been the first to make sure she's ok I just feel I've lost so many years yet now it's too late family's hey who'd have them I'm now a mother in law and have a great relationship with him Great chat tonight 😘💃🏽

  • @denismichaeljames
    @denismichaeljames 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    It can take years of undulations of marriage to bump along with the sinuous history and surrounding personalities. There is never a straightforward solution because there is no perfect family. But when you love each other you do eventually find and learn solutions to these challenges. And that's ongoing as everything in life is. Sometimes we all have to face up to the facts and may have to cull parts of our address books. Family is not always everything. Old peoples homes are full and some with very angry people that would admit that they put up with far too much only wishing they hadn't.

    It's so wonderful that you both can talk to one another and share your heart. Unfortunately some of us have partners that take everything personal. They just can't handle any type of opinion other than theirs. I'm not saying that my spouse is a horrible person. He just can't discuss anything. He thinks that any type of discussion is an argument. When you can't discuss and compromise, it causes tension and resentment. All that leads to an unhappy union. Not much more I can say.

    I had my second baby boy 2nd December 2017 my mother in law met him once & she lives a street away 😑 at his birthday we heard nothing, at Xmas we heard, my eldest 3rd birthday we heard nothing. I've told my other half she now has nothing to do with our children. She used to park outside my house go over my sister in law's who lived opposite & not make an effort to even come to our house 😩 I finally stopped on my eldest child making the effort all the time going to her so we cut her out of our lives this year for good. I'm sick of her making me upset treating my children different to her other 6 grandchildren.

    Only one in law, she has remained a friend long after the relationship ended. When there's no power or competition issues the "women supporting eachother" can span generations.
