I just can’t stand my in laws

yes yes, I know, it’s probably me. I’m a dragon myself, but honestly? I just can’t stand them.

my MIL gives me that visceral stomach reaction of just wanting to get away from her and not look straight at her.

a lot of things have happened over the years, I’ve posted about some of the situations on here over the years.

the fact remains that we are in each other’s lives and I don’t intend to break up the family or anything but I just don’t feel that any of them are people who have good intentions towards me and bring positivity to my life.

it has become so stale, even with my H’s siblings, who we see quite a bit. But it’s all just so forced / fake / superficial and not at all honest or natural.

but yeah I do see them, most weekends at some point and it’s just so inauthentic for me. I find it really difficult to spend time with people who I essentially know can’t really stand me.

is this just family ? It is isn’t it..

Well don’t see them most weekends then. I don’t see my own family or in-laws any th jng like as often as that.

Why are you seeing them nearly every weekend? What are you doing with them?

My father in law passed away last year. He had his moments, but we got on fine. His wife however, for my own reasons my dh understands, I cannot stand! She isn't dh biological mother, so for me, she's not my mil. Vile woman! It's sad, but it is what it is!
