No you don't have to be close to her at ALL..
I am not close to my mother in law but we live in the same small town and my husband loves his mother. We both tolerate each other for the kids sake and my husbands. We are friendly toward each other when we see each other but we are not close,we both make an effort as neither of us is going anywhere and it works for us. She loves my children and they love her and I would never get in the way of that. There are times when I wanted to smack her face in and I just bit my tongue and sat on my hands. I waited until I got home and would tell my husband what really p*****d me off about what she did. I did not go around there unless I had to and it is still like that. It will always be like that, but thats how I like it and that way we are not in each others faces and things stay calm. For the families sake

Well, mine & I are close (she lives 2 doors down) & friends. But, she will tell you that she doesn't know alot about my husband's & my life. I don't tell her secrets, and niether does he. Remember, you are married to him, not her. There are some things she should just not be privy to. When my husband got sick a while back, she was all like, I don't want him to die. I'll do whatever needs to be done for him to be healthy. I quickly backed her off. saying, #1, he's not that sick...#2, when I married him, he became MY responsibility. Good luck.

I honestly wanted to be close to my mother-in-law, she didn't feel the same way, in fact, tried to break me and my husband up. Now, we tolerate each other for the sake of my kids and husband. I have a distant relationship with her now. My husband is still close to her but he doesn't force the issue with us. I would say to try to get along with her for your husband's sake because it puts him in a dilemma as to who to choose. I was lucky in that my husband saw my side, but I am understanding that he wants and needs a relationship with his mother.

Yes, but not too close. Blood is thicker than water and if you and your future spouse get into a big fight or something, she will side with him no matter what....It is human nature. So, be nice polite etc, but not toooo close. Good luck

Not necessarily. My husband's mother and I did not really like each other. His step-mother and I loved each other dearly.

How close? I would say to be open, friendly, but don't need to let her know much private stuff.
