Some people might view that as extreme, but honestly, I don't see any problem with it.
It depends on family to family and person to person and religion plays a big role in it.
After all, a brother-in-law is still a brother-in-law. And I've heard quite a few cases about how marriages have broken down because there was an affair and so on. I'm not saying you shouldn't be comfortable with the in-laws, but for like everything, there are limits to how 'friendly' you can and should get.

Well duh, of course there are limits....you just have to keep things formal and simple, there's a difference between saying hi to someone (which the original poster opposes) and deep conversations.
I'd never let any guy talk for more than 10 seconds with my wives, I'd be like ***** times up go loosen it off.
