I'm trying not to judge, but your attitude is childish and immature. Who gives a fat flying fluck if you don't like your wife's family, this isn't about you. Man up and put your petty ego on the back burner and support your wife, you don't have to kiss anyone's a$$, but you don't have to be a prick either. Here's a thought, avoid topics that you disagree with her family about, they are trolling you in real life.

My suggestion is to visit with a therapist or a minister and get some help coping with YOUR issues.

Best advice on here. There are 3 sides to every story. Your side, her side, and the truth. I guarantee you BOTH sides are doing things to make the situation worse instead trying to get along and fix things.

As I tell my 8 year old (who has lately been repeating it back to his old man) "You are the only person that can control you! You can't control anyone else. Live a good life!" That is all. Good luck!

it's a senior assisted living apartment their rules wont allow someone else staying there.

Personally Saddlebum none of us can tell you how to live your life, or even how to cope. We can simply offer our suggestions and or thoughts. Mine for you is this....not sure if you are a religious man but sit down and pray, meditate, go fishing and have some time to yourself. From that point you should have a path forward.

my suggestion just hearing what you have to say is this....set ground rules. I know this is hard since they have already been coming to your house. Maybe find a bedroom that you can make into your mancave and for you to escape and not be bothered.

Does your MIL have any other place to go to?

Saddlebum, I think you need to be selfish. Let me explain, if you were to die tomorrow (heaven forbid) those asshats in your house would just shrug and ask who was buying dinner now. They are immaterial in every sense, except you have to deal in some way with them. I don't want you look back at this time when you are on your deathbed and say " I wish I spent more time and energy being pissed off at these Jackasses" They aren't worth it Use that energy for you and your wife. God Bless
