My father-in-law really gets on my nerves, and creates bad feeling throughout my household, he makes my wife (His Daughter) feel like crap, by criticising everything she does, who in-turns makes my life a misery when he has upset her!! How do I deal with the idiot without breaking the law or offending other members of the family.....

Not alot you can do really but support your wife, but Rather than have him coming into your household why not suggest to your wife she go over to his house, that way when she comes back upset your there to give support and maybe look like the good guy!

You can't deal with him. What you need to do is try and get your wife to the point where what her dad says doesn't get her upset. I had a similar problem with my wife and her mother. There was no chance of changing the mother in law, but I've got my wife to the point where she no longer cares what her mother says, therefore not getting wound up, therefore not taking it out on me.

I have a father in law who is a knob end too. he abused my three eldest children, we now have nothing to do with him.
If your father in law is making your wife feel like crap then you should tell him that if he doesn't stop it you no longer want him to come to your house. your wife should be your main concern.
It is a hard situation to be in, and i feel for you both, but you must tell him otherwise you and your wife are going to end up in the divorce courts.

i might want to assert that in this style of project, you want to split up which include your fiance AND his dad, and then decrease all ties. otherwise, you is unable to look both of them in the interest back! you've shot your self in the foot, and that is sturdy you're accepting you made a complete hash of issues. the ingredient is, in the journey that your fiance's dad change into so in love with you, does no longer he were encouraging you to sit down with him with easily everyone jointly and purely come sparkling? ok, it would want to really have positioned some faces out of position yet a minimum of you wuold were able to bypass to sleep at evening with a sparkling moral experience. It really looks as inspite of the actuality that he's making use of you, lady, and he doesn't take care of you or your fiance, so once and for all do all worried a favour and reduce some ties.

Ignore him and support your wife fully...it's the only way. Speaking out will only aggravate the situation. It's amazing how quickly family will stick together when challenged.

don`t have him in your life when he causing his daughter to be upset maybe he will realise what he has to lose and if not let him get on with it ,life too short to have negative people around ruining it , maybe you should tell him a few home truths and if he does`nt want to know you its his loss for being like he his .

Yours sound exactly like my ex-inlaws. I hope never to be the same whenmy kids marry.
Mine took me to court twice. I was protecting my wife and kids as far as i was concerned. I did'nt touch him.
