In Chinese family relationships, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is undoubtedly a complex and sensitive topic. Many women will face the problem of how to get along with their mother-in-law after marriage, and with the changes of the times, the way of dealing with the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is also changing. Traditionally, a daughter-in-law needs to integrate into her mother-in-law's family and establish an intimate relationship with her mother-in-law. However, in modern society, more and more women choose to keep a certain distance from their in-laws, not because they are disrespectful or indifferent, but because of their wisdom and sober choice.
First of all, keeping a distance can reduce contradictions and friction. There are often differences in values and living habits in the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Excessive intimacy can lead to friction and resentment in daily life between the two partners. Keeping a certain distance allows both parties to have their own space and lifestyle, reducing interference and conflict between each other. At the same time, the appropriate distance can also allow both parties to view each other more objectively, reduce the influence of subjective emotions, and help maintain a harmonious relationship.
Second, keeping your distance helps maintain a sense of proportion. In the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the grasp of a sense of proportion is very important. If the two parties are too close, some boundaries may be crossed and unnecessary conflicts may arise. Keeping a certain distance can make both parties pay more attention to politeness and respect, and avoid some unnecessary conflicts. At the same time, this sense of proportion also helps both parties build a healthier and more stable relationship, allowing each other to trust and respect each other more.
Of course, one might think that keeping a distance will lead to a cold and alienating relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. However, the truth is that distancing does not mean a lack of care and support. In modern society, relationships between family members are more diverse and flexible. The daughter-in-law can keep in touch with her mother-in-law through **, WeChat, etc., care about each other's lives, and share joys, sorrows, and sorrows. At the same time, when needed, the daughter-in-law can also give her mother-in-law appropriate help and support to show family affection and love.
In addition, keeping a distance also helps daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law develop their own lives and interests. Everyone has their own way of life and values, and an overly intimate relationship can make both parties feel oppressed and unfree. Keeping a certain distance can allow both parties to pursue their dreams and lifestyles more freely, and better realize their self-worth. At the same time, this way of developing separately will also help both parties to be more independent and autonomous in their future lives, and to better cope with challenges and changes.
In conclusion, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is a complex and sensitive topic that requires joint efforts and understanding from both parties. In modern society, keeping a certain distance is a wise choice. This not only helps to reduce conflicts and friction and maintain a sense of proportion, but also helps both parties to develop their own lives and interests. Of course, this distance does not mean indifference and alienation, on the contrary, it is a manifestation of mutual respect and love. By maintaining the right distance, we can better maintain family harmony and make the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law better.
