Just put up with them. Be sure you communicate properly with your spouse - you have to tell them that you're not getting along. You can't lie about that.
However you don't really have to spend that much time with your in-laws anyway, so just smile and nod and then forget them when you leave. It's as simple as that.

How long have you been married? The first 2 years of my marriage I didnt get along with my husbands parents, but after 6 years of marriage I have wonderful relationship with them. Just give it time and be open minded and try to fit in with his family. It really is worth it when you can all get together as a family and really feel like one. How do you know you really CAN'T get along with them. Can you honestly sit back and say that you tried, without looking for reasons to dislike them. Maybe your husbands ex's were awful people who they got attached to and ended up getting hurt. Once they see your there for the long run things will calm and then you start to enjoy a relationship with them and really grow to love them. Good luck and pray about it

talk to your spouse and say that you dont feel that you have anything in common with them, can you give me some pointers on conversation? because it is important for you to have a good relationship with the inlaws, and you need his /her help

im in the same situation but i have already told him that his sister cant come to our house anymore since i told him he has changed and i know the stress is getting to him because he is so close with his mean sister but now that i have told him and she doesnt come over anymore im less stressed so what im saying is every man will react diffrently to this situation you need to evaluate your man and decide if he is the type that will try to make it better or not also because that is his family he needs to be the one to deal with them not you so make sure he handles this one

Try to appear as open as possible. Be willing to visit with them and just be as civil as you can.
It's hard and I really do understand...
Good Luck
