Well, for a long while, we lived one apartment down from my in-laws, my wife's sister and her daughter. The sister is a nice, well-meaning, but basically dull person with parochial attitudes and no imagination. The daughter was twice as stupid and incredibly vicious. For many years, my wife was unwilling to do anything particularly loud because she didn't want to deal with her sister and niece the next morning. I think we were married for three or four years before she bothered to tell her family. Holidays were akward, but we got through them. For the most part, I gritted my teeth and tried to ignore them, although my dislike was palpable, and made our home life a bit strained. Eventually, the niece died (she was never very healthy. I think she choked on her own hate) and the sister moved away, and then we moved. Now it isn't an issue. For the most part, however, when I had to deal with them, I mostly just gritted my teeth and tried to remain civil because I knew it would make my wife unhappy if I blew my stack and said what I was really thinking.

Think of my verbosity as a sort of litmus test for our relationship. I write in a manner identical to how I speak and how I think. If you can not cope with what I have written here, it is probably for the best if we go our separate ways.

I deal with it by no longer attending any in law functions at all and I talk as little as possible with them when it is unavoidable that we have to occupy the same space at the same time. I was never very well liked, but it just got worse after one of my wee ones was physically tackled by one of her much larger cousins and the entire family did nothing to prevent it nor show any concern for the safety of my wee one.
There is a lot less tension that way.

Edited to add...He is on the same page and fully supportive of me and my decision to distance myself from his family.

Hit on your mother in law. Maybe then she'll be too uncomfortable to come over. I mean the original poster.
