I don't want to paint with a broad brush, but I've encountered this in limited instances.
My wife is currently not on very good terms with her brother and his wife. She was always close with her brother, and, in a nutshell, her brother is now demanding that she be close with his wife. Nothing wrong with his wife, but my wife just doesn't feel close to her.
When my wife asked him why he demanded she have a close relationsip with his wife, when she doesn't demand that he have a close relationship with me, he basically said it was because they have kid(s), and we don't.
If this all sounds insane, believe me, I'm trying to make it sound as sane as I can.
Sorry for the threadjack.
