Sister in Law's BF for me. We have never seen eye to eye and he now ignores me when I say hello.

Personally I don't give a crap but obviously makes spending 3 days with the in laws even worse than it would have been.

He is hugely competitive even though I am not. However he apparently sees me as a "threat". WTF?

I wish I had in-laws to hate but I’m terminally single. Suppose I should count myself lucky really!

My Sister in law hates my wife.

This apparently all started because she did not like the way the wife treated me early on in our relationship. This apparently meant it was fine to be rude the first time she actually met my wife.

Relationships have occasionally thawed, but usually freeze again. my wife will be the bigger person. The sister in-law is vindictive, and will not attend functions if we are going to be there.

My Dad is 70 in January, and his one request is to have all of his family around him. I suggested to my brother that the wives agree to be the bigger person for the day. No response. tts.

By the time you get to your wife's sister's boyfriend, then it isn't family, IMO.

One of my sister-in-laws has had maybe five boyfriends in the last 20 years. I met them all several times, and I couldn't name a single one of them.

He is not family at all but they have a kid so probably in it for the long term. He won't get married as it is too expensive. Though he is not short of a few quid..

I am too old for this but if he wants to be a tt, so be it. I will happily replicate.

To be honest I see him around 4 times a year. Though Xmas is hard as it is continuous exposure for 3/4 days.

My 38 year old step-daughter can't even look at me. She doesn't ask after me when on the phone to her mum and refused to say thank you when I stopped her her flat from flooding because ' I didn't ask him to ' .

38! I've been with her mum for 10 years. Like a fking 12 year old.

cousin - insecure wanabe alpha male. he's not comfy with silence. likes to flex his cash, exaggerate his worth
other cousin- when drunk is incredibily rude, arrogant, likes to get into arguments.
most of my aunties - when they get drunk they're very loud, act like 16 yr olds

None I hate fortunately although just spending half a day with family I get along with is enough for me let alone being with someone you hate. Glad it's over for another year.

Don't get on with my cousins fella, haven't done for years, he attacked me once in my late teens, uncalled for, it's that long ago I can't even recall exactly what it was about but I've not liked him since, you're talking at least 10 years.

Don't see them anymore anyway so I don't think about it.

Same here, not in my family anyhow. Can't wait to get away from the inlaws though, they're ok really, just my patience is wearing thin being couped up with them for two days solid. He's like Bob Flemming on speed at 101Db and i'm not used to sitting around eating carp for so long.

My previous reply was about the nature of 'family'. I have three first cousins. I've never met one of them. The other two are married with four(?) adult children, one of whom I've met, and that was 20 years ago.

I don't have a big family, and we're not even vaguely close. The idea of Family Get Togethers leaves me cold. I know that plenty of people live in the same town as their parents/siblings/cousins, and they go on holdiday together and see each other every week and so on.

I would hate that.
