Getting to know your partner’s family
Meeting the family of your significant other can be tricky, and getting to know them and form your own relationships with them can be even more complicated. There are two family units coming together with their own traditions and ways of interacting.
If you are lucky it can go smoothly; if you aren’t, it can be tumultuous. Or it can be anything in between. It doesn’t matter whther you are dating or you are married: Getting to know your partner’s family can be intense.
Recently celebrities Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik were in the news because it was reported that Malik had an altercation with Hadid's mother, Yolanda. According to a tweet Malik posted, Hadid's mother entered their home while Hadid was away, and he implied that whatever happened was in reaction to that. He said he did not contest the claims because he wanted to protect his daughter from being in the public eye even more than she has been already.
So what went wrong? A friend of Hadid’s told People that, “Yolanda is, of course, very protective of Gigi. She wants the best for her daughter and grandchild. She has had some issues with Zayn. She thinks he could treat Gigi better. This is creating conflicts between Yolanda and Zayn."
