"    Kate, 30, and her husband, Chris, 32, have been married for three years. Whenever they need to make a decision or have an argument, Chris consults his parents\u2014and usually agrees with them over Kate. Who&amp;#039;s right? She says: &amp;quot;When we first started dating, I thought it was cute and reassuring how close Chris and his parents were. He always took me to great date places thanks to his parents, who had great recommendations. I sort of thought the constant calls and running to his mom and dad about every decision (even small ones like where to eat that night...) and argument we have (I really don&amp;#039;t want my in-laws to know about some of our private stuff!) would end once we tied the knot, but it&amp;#039;s only gotten worse. Now, we&amp;#039;re thinking about buying a house, but I&amp;#039;m scared of what will happen if his parents don&amp;#039;t like the one I do.&amp;quot; He says: &amp;quot;Don&amp;#039;t most women want a guy who&amp;#039;s close with his family? I love my parents and respect their opinions, which is why I always ask them for advice. And I don&amp;#039;t always choose their side over Kate&amp;#039;s; they just happen to see the bigger and more rational picture most of the time. I also don&amp;#039;t know what this &amp;#039;private stuff&amp;#039; she says I&amp;#039;m sharing is. My parents and I have always been very open and honest with each other, and they&amp;#039;re not going to judge Kate for how she behaves during our fights. I just need a little outside perspective sometimes.&amp;quot;   poll by twiigs.com   Have an argument you want settled?
