Anyone out there who’s relationship later despite not liking the in-laws

[Daybedd]

Been with my partner a few years but we live separately. I like my space he’s ok with it and things work. I have found some of his family members to be rude to me and no effort to make me feel welcome. I’ve been polite and try to initiate conversation however I’m now at a point where I just can’t stand acting and pretending. I have anxiety anyway and family events and functions set me off and now I’m at a point where I’ve not been to the last couple of his family functions because of the anxiety of having to deal with it. Anyone else’s relationship lasted the distance despite family complications?

Hi
I need some advice on good schools please. I am trying to find a good school for my daughter to do her A-levels. So far I haven’t been successful. All the “free “ schools with a good name have very high entry requirements or are difficult to get into for various reasons. Can somebody please recommend a nice school that is somewhat in our area ( SW) ? I want her to be happy and feel safe at school and develop into the best version of herself. Any advise will be appreciated.
many thanks

My mil was not unwelcoming but overbearing, demanding and expected to remain first in her son's life. She was happy with me as his first proper girlfriend at 19 but hated me as his long term partner. She wanted a nice girl who'd live on the same estate and look to mil for her lead on everything. She got me, with my own outlook on life and career ambitions. She also missed that her son didn't actually want that.

We came close to breaking up over it but once he started owning the issue and he drew boundaries it became a non-thing. We've been together 25 years.
