It’s hard on your partner

Your partner will need to complain about it a lot. When you two come back from visiting his family, he’ll be emotionally exhausted. He might need time alone, to reflect. He may also need to just vent about how sh*tty the whole situation is for an hour. This will be a natural part of the post-trip wind-down.

He can vent; you can’t

When your partner vents about his parents, he’s going to say a lot of negative things about them—things you agree with him on! But you can’t really tell him you agree. At the end of the day, they are his family and you don’t get to talk badly about them. In fact, you have to find positive things to say about his parents, to help your partner get back to a good place.
