Jeez Rick,I'm with you on this one. My mother-in-law turned the latter half of Christmas into a nightmare of jaw dropping proportions! This involved a six hour screaming,crying tantrum! Yes,6 whole hours.If I never see her again it will be too soon! The point is,she's my husband's mother.I'm not prepared to divide a whole family to avoid 1 person.Just venting about it like this is making me feel better though.Punch a few cushions,shout at the top of your voice,then take a few deep breaths and leave it where it lies.Refusing to see them again will only make matters worse in the long run. Next time I see the b*tch from hell I will smile sweetly and tell her how pleased I am to see her!

That is a tough one to answer. If they are abusive and your wife does not want to see them for some good reason, then you need to tell them that their behavior is unacceptable and that they need to change before you and your family will see them again. If it is merely because you do not particularly care for them, then you need to grow up and realize that your wife has family too and that they have a right to see their daughter. In the second case, you would need to work out your relationship with them so that you can be cordial with each other for the sake of your wife and family.

By not ever seeing them again.... 'cause if you go see them or talk to them to tell them, you're already seeing them again... If you care so little that you don't ever want to see them again, why are you worried about how you can tell them??? I don't get it.... unless of course, what you're really looking for is a way to just hurt them, perhaps as they hurt you... Sounds more like you want them to realize how much they have hurt you... and maybe say they are sorry...
Anyhow, if you don't want to see them agian, don't... but you might want to let your spouse know too.... Seems to me I'd be more worried about how to tell my spouse that I don't want to see his parents again.
Good luck... is guess this is what they call "evolving"....

There's no 'nice way' to do this. You'll have to decide if you really can't work it out; don't yell out anything in the heat of the moment, give it a couple days, cool down and see if you still don't think you can talk it out. If by then you're still really, really sure about it... then just say so. Try to stay calm, no need to cuss and yell too, but put it plain and simple, that's the most honest way to do it.

Well, you don't. There is no nice way to tell the people who have given their everything to bring your "spouse" to where he/she is today that they're not welcome in your life anymore.
Think about it. Would you ever want that to happen to you?
I sincerely hope you find a way around your problem coz I know that older people can be irritating and annoying at times, but hey, we're all going to get there someday and we hope we won't be like them but if we end up like that we still hope to be treated nice!

How does your spouse feel about that? You could move to another state. And claim airfare is too expensive. We've done it for 30+ years.

This is something I don't have to worry about, for I'm not married. Now if you are talking about siblings that's another matter. lol

geez, what did they do to you?
imho, unless your spouse agrees with you, it's not a good idea to do that. you put him/her in a very difficult position having to choose between you and his/her parents.
perhaps you can limit your interactions with them like going out when they visit or have your wife visit them without you.

Only one way, just tell them! If you are not blunt about it your feelings will not have any meaning.
