I am playing as Austria and have France and Hungary in a personal union. I have already inherited Poland, annexed most of Milan and Croatia and am the HRE so I have a ton of resources and a large forcelimits. I have built up my army to about twice the size of France but they keep sending me diplomatic insults to get out of the union which I try to solve by maintaining an almost constant state of war. I have (or had) 200 relations, a high level of trust, +3 stability and just about everything else I can think of that seems to be a factor in inheritance but it still says the union will continue on monarch death instead of becoming inherited. Hungary, however, seems all too willing to be inherited as it always says they will be inherited on ruler death, even when at war. Is there something else I can do to A) get France to stop lowering relations and B) increase my chance of inheriting France? I've searched the forums but I didn't see anything that I'm not already doing.
Addendum: My ruler kind of sucks with only 3 diplomatic skill I think. Is that a big factor?
