I even say call your parents or buy things for him to take over but he never does, he says he cant be bothered. How do I make him see that he shouldnt do that

If a man is going to cut ties with his family there must have been something VERY hurtful or deceitful. Your question is a little vague on that. my husband would probably do the same, depending on the situation...

I think you are right, but there must be a reason for his behavior, possibly going back a long time. Some families are not loving or happy, maybe they have a problem with you as the daughter-in-law, anything could be the problem. Leave it till he's ready to discuss the matter with you, - I expect he only wants to concentrate on his own family and he may even change his mind about contacting his family in the future.

I guess it would depend on the reason he cut ties with them in the first place. It's nice that you are trying to keep the family together, but it's not necessarily your place to do so. Instead, focus on your own family and the attention he is giving all of you.

It doesn't sound like he's being lazy, it sounds like there is a very valid reason(s) for this. As his wife I think he needs you to be even more of a support for him (even if you don't agree) because he is missing part of his support system. Try to be more understanding, less critical. It may be helpful to discuss, but don't push him.
I think you are wasting your energy trying to force him. (And eventually he will resent you for it.) If you feel that ties to others are that valuable, expend your energy reinforcing end enriching your ties with him instead.

his family should be in his life. even he does not realize it now he will regret that choice. if anything were to happen to his family he will feel so bad with the way things are now. u
tell him that he needs to get over the bad feeling before it is too late.

In my opinion I don't think you need to interfere. Let him know you are with whatever decision he makes but you think he is wrong. If you try to push his family on him, he might think you are taking their side against his and he will retaliate against you.

let it be. this relationship with his family works both ways. they should be calling him and buying things for him also. there is a reason, and when hubby is ready, he will tell you. just let him be or you could ruin your relationship with him.

Your husband has a reason, and there is a good chance its valid. Leave him alone.
