im newly married...and i love my wife's parents, especially her mom. but love as a nice and kind lady and respectable because of my wife. and when i tell her that i love her or to my wife that i love her mom, she thinks i love her mom the i love her.so she thinks im betraying and am unfaithful.

any of you have such experience to love the in laws and expressing it? is it weird to tell them we love them?
 
It's not weird in my opinion. Explain to your wife that your parents are dead and you feel that special bond and connection to her parents as you did your own mother...maybe she feels in competition for her mothers affection. She wants her parents to always side with her and if you become like a son to them...she may feel let down or betrayed by her parents.

Perhaps a better way to resolve this issue would be to speak kindly of her mother but don't mention the word love. You could say something like Mrs ? , I absolutely adore your daughter and both you and your husband should be very proud of yourselves. She has the grace and beauty of her mother and the strong driven side of her father. I feel blessed to be part of this family and to be surrounded by loving individuals as yourselves. In this manner you give credit to the parents but you are praising your wife as well....The parents will love you knowing that their daughter is happy with you. Nothing warms a mothers heart more than knowing that the man her daughter chose adores her daughter and takes care of her.

Good Luck
