Same here. Yeah especially if it is someone who married in and barely know in the first place. In my opinion, they are most likely doing things out of obligation. Yeah I am really careful now when it comes to meeting new people and reading their intentions.

Also the fact that I have been rejected by people who felt obligated to associate with me makes me wonder if people do it to others as well more so than most people realize. Just the fact that not everyone is a true friend probably means that people are more likely to associate with others out of obligation. That is why I hate asking or accepting favors, I feel like people are secretly expecting a no thanks.
