Ignore them and when you are around them treat them with such respect and sweetness that you will bowl them over. In laws are not the easiest people in the world to deal with but once they realize what a lovely girl their son married they will learn to be nicer. In the meantime don't say anything against them to your husband as he already knows what they are like and probably devastated by it. However they are his parents and despite the fact that they act horribly you still have to show them some kind of respect despite the fact they may not deserve it. You husband will just love you that much more because of it. Keep your visits to their house short and you will be fine. Good luck.

well the best thing you can do is talk to your husband about how they make you feel and what they do, and that he should let them know that any disrespect they show towards you they show towards him. Many inlaws are like this because they view you as an outsider, the best thing you can do is avoid it. If ever you need to vent I would suggest visiting www.ihatemyinlaws.com the women and men on there are very supportive and can also help you out or you can just browse through their stories and see what works for them. Good luck

Well I will tell you what I did and it stopped them from talking. My in laws did the same so one day while I was at their house one of the neighbors stopped in. ""MOM"" started with her sweety this and sweety that. I told her it was time for me to leave and I would let myself out. I went to the kitchen opened and closed the door but did not leave. I just let her think I did. When she started talking I heard my name mentioned so I stepped back into the room in which they were in and said---"now "mom" why dont you really let the neighbor know what you think about me and say it in front of me instead of behind my back. The BS stopped immediately. I has been over 30yrs and I havent had anymore problems since. And YES the old goat is still alive.

Make them eat their words, do an act of kindness to them that will suprise them. Even if you have to grit your teeth. Think what may cause them to do it... Mine do this alot too and I know it is very frustrating and you want to do something back, but the only way it has gotten better is to confron t them the next time you catch them at it and tell them it is not something they should be doing or turn on the charm and see if makes them say positive things instead... hope you can work things out...

Just continue to be cordial to them in their face. There's nothing else you can do. They probably talk about everybody this way. Those kind of people just needs to grow up and get a life, that's all. Go over to their home but not as often.

Tell your husband that you love him and always will but you can't handle the family anymore and instead of putting him in the middle you think it would be best if he spent his time with them alone. My mother-in-law has forbid my husband to bring me to the house because his daughter doesn't like me which is fine he goes and sees his mother I go shopping. If he wants to go with me to see my family he does and if he doesn't he goes and does something he enjoys. We both get to spend time with our families without all the tension and then we make the time we have together mean more because we aren't arguing about family.

there is an extremely good e book, referred to as The 4 Agreements, which likens abuse of this style to poison. you have a option to take this poison out of your inlaws, or to no longer take it. family participants issues are actually not surely solved; there is no clean uncomplicated thank you to respond to this. you have no longer any administration over what they think of or do; you do have administration over what you think of and do. Refuse to settle for their poison--enable them to renowned you want to have a relationship (if that's what you like) yet you won't be able to settle for their habit. no person is merely too previous to alter--it is a fallacy--there are in basic terms human beings too scared to alter, or too lazy to alter. replace is confusing, and it is not some thing undertaken with the aid of the faint-hearted. So in the event that they inlaws do no longer want to alter, you additionally could make the choice to cut back your exposure to them. it relatively is an extremely confusing situation you're in, as you and your husband are being asked to p.c. between human beings, and that's some thing that somebody who relatively, particularly loves you, does no longer do. they might such as you the place you're at, and love you for who you will be. And that would desire to be yet another determination for you: are you able to wish the inlaws the place they are at, for who they are? are you able to be sure what it relatively is that makes them this style in any respect? in step with threat with the aid of attempting to be sure the place they are coming from, you're starting to be the flexibility to at last come to three peace with them, a minimum of on your very own ideas....good success.

when we marry someone we also marry their family, unfortunately. sometimes it's just best to avoid the things that hurt u, and the people who treat u unfairly. if u try to confront them they will only deny it, and than talk about u more. just avoid them as much as u can, limit your time with them.
