    Adjusting without hard feelings

    Don't know how long you have been living in Germany or what the family situation is there. Your wife's family should be supportive of their son-n-law. If they are not, it is not because they are German, it is because they aren't "nice". In general "Germans" are cautious people as you well know. Like I stated above in my last comment, there are good and bad people all over the world. Try not to sweat the small stuff and look for support from your inner circle which would be your wife's family and friends. Family and friends are of utmost importance to "most" Germans.They should be enough of a buffer until you become more accustom. And do your very best to not "internalize" the events around you. No matter where we live we are lucky to find "one really good friend" and super lucky to have two. Perhaps you would feel comfortable seeking out other Americans who have moved to Germany and experiencing difficulties adapting. Sometimes two heads are better than one.

    On a positive note, it was a very loving gesture on your part to leave "your" country to live in your wife's country. Also, very proactive to study German history. Just continue to be nice guy and regardless of where you are from or where you go "any country" people won't be able to deny it! Good luck with your in laws.
