The killer part about my situation is that these chicks don't even stay in the house but, yet they seem to be running shyte. That's so unbelievable isn't it. Wouldn't you avoid conflict by not subjecting yourself and being around people that you know that they can't stand you. My intentions only in this realtionship is to be with him and support him the best way I can. I think they believe that I am trying to keep him away from his family.

If you date someone, you date his family too. If they don't like you, your relationship is in trouble. Don't forget, these are the people who shaped your BF and helped to make him into the man you love.
Have you also examined your own attitude? Your question seems very angry and hostile. Maybe subconsciously you are trying to keep him from his family.
Even if you are super sweet, even if their dislike is irrational, it will still have a huge influence on your BF.

The structure of families traditionally hinges on relations between parents and children, on relations between spouses, or on both.

Even if the sisters do not stay in the house with you and your partner, they are a part of that connected "family." Family ties can be extremely strong and an "outsider" is well not to tamper with those ties. By being a partner to your husband, you should gain the respect from his family; however, if you do not have this automatically, you will have to earn it.

I am an in-law to a family of a different culture than mine and the kinship is extremely tight. The family does everything together and I had to make some adjustments to what I was accustomed. The family accepted me easily and I believe a lot is because I welcomed and became interested, genuinely, in their culture. Whatever they wanted me to try, I did and enjoyed my stay there.

It is difficult when someone in the family takes in a partner and might not be easy for the family to bring that person in, so you might want to help. If the sisters seem to "run" things, it may be something they are accustomed to doing. Don't fight it. If your intentions are to support him, show them that this is all you are interested in; not keeping him from his family. You don't have to preach it - just show it. In time, they will see your efforts and warm up to you.
