| Mar 7, 2016 at 18:27 | comment | added | user4797 | I have found this discussion interesting in my own search for the proper term to refer to my late husbsnd's parents. I get the sense that there may not yet be a correct, simple term ( like ex in laws) to use in social situations. I have recently started dating after being widowed. I am " keeping" my late husband's parents as my family, even though there are no grandchildren to consider. It is just a mouthful and can also open up more questions then I want to address to talk about " my late husbands's parents" in a casual conversation. Let me know if a good term comes up for this complex relati | |

| Jun 1, 2015 at 17:25 | comment | added | eddie | @vervet ... Thank you for that insight. Concerning your question, I live in the USA / New Jersey ... I am still a little foggy what would happen to my relationship with my in-laws if I were to remarry. I would think the new marriage would supersede the old, relegating my original in-laws to a status similar to "ex" would it not? And if so, what would be the proper way to refer them? How do people refer to their former in-laws after divorce? Especially if there are children; I mean, a man's ex-wife's sister will always be his child's aunt, so a relationship of some kind remains, right? | |

Second, when a person dies, the relationship is not usually considered 'ex' (as it may be with divorce). For example, if a person's wife dies, she does not become their 'ex-wife'. By similar reasoning, your brother-in-law is still your brother-in-law whether or not your wife is alive. The marriage (thus the relationship) has the same legal strength whether or not either, neither, or both parties are alive. | |
