Two years ago one of my inlaws got mad b/c my husband and I ran off and eloped. This person got so mad that they left threatening phone calls on my personal phone number. She eventually apologized (although the father never has apologized for supporting her) but I changed my # since then and I still do not want them to have my personal cell # or my home #. I feel that if they need to get in contact w/my husband they can call his personal cell #. The thing is they call him on his cell ALL the time and my husband just always neglects to call them back. it may be weeks until he gets back w/them. I know that it is my husbands own responsibility to call his own family back but I guess I want to know- -- if I am obligated to give his family my phone numbers?? I have forgiven his family since they have tried to destroy our marriage earlier--but i do not trust them. I will only occasionally go to gatherings w/them. (Note: they were not like this prior to our marriage)

I think you are within your rights to limit the contact you have with them, especially given the history. If it takes a while for your husband to get back to them, so be it.

The house phone is a phone you nd your husband share, so I think they should have that number. Your cell number is up to you. Just let me say, you don't sound like you have really forgiven them.

no, you are not obligated to do this and if it were a huge deal to him he would have shared it with you or he would give them the number. Looks like you and he are in sync on this one so just enjoy the peace and quiet!

no one can destroy your marriage but you and your husband.
in saying that, if you want to keep your phone numbers private, it's your personal choice. i guess you are just practicing self-preservation in doing so.
take care.

unless there is some need for them to have your number, ,like they will be watching your children or something like that, i see no need for them to have it. none of my in-laws have my #.
