How to Get Rid of In-Laws
It has finally happened. You’ve met the person of your dreams (If you've not met yours yet, read Top 10 ways to find the person of your dreams). You’ve just had a fairy tale wedding (For more information on weddings, learn The guide to weddings) and now it is time to live happily ever after, right? Wrong. If you are like many couples, your relationship is not just between the two of you. It’s between the six of you: you, your spouse and both sets of parents.
How can you get rid of your in-laws? Unfortunately, it is not that simple. The problem is that when you are fighting with your in-laws, more often than not it also becomes a fight with your spouse. Your spouse also has to deal with being in the middle of you and his or her parents.
If you find that your relationship with your in-laws has become unbearable, here are a few things you can try to get rid of them.
- If your spouse agrees that your in-laws need to go, you can both have a sit down talk with them. Explain that you are unhappy with their behavior and that you have decided that you would like some time and space away from them. Don’t be surprised if this doesn’t go very well, however. Most in-laws will challenge this notion. They might accuse you of trying to come between them and your spouse. This is why it is important that the two of you agree on everything you are going to talk about prior to the meeting.
- If your spouse would like to maintain a relationship with your in-laws, then that is fine too. This might be the case especially if you have children. Just because your spouse has a relationship with the in-laws doesn’t mean you have to. You can always stay home and watch the game on Sunday instead of eating your mother-in-law’s meatloaf. Just make sure that your spouse understands and agrees with your reasons so that there is not animosity between the two of you.
- You can try to reason with them. Explain that you and your spouse are adults and that you expect them to be supportive of the decisions you make, or at least not openly criticize them. Let them know how you expect them to behave in your home. If they don’t agree with what you are saying, they are likely to get rid of themselves.
- You can also try the avoidance technique. Don’t take their calls. Don’t visit. Better yet, move across the country. Don’t leave a forwarding address.
- Get divorced.

I also have the same problem . I just want to get rid of my mother-in -law. She always starts checking immediately-whether I have given fruits/food to my husbadn. I dont know what’s bothering her. Kepps on checking for each and everything. Idiot MIL, GOD bless me-she moves out of my house ASAP. She’s a big torture and mindless lady. Doesn’t allow my husband and me to be happy. Her daughter is very happy in US. it is enough for her.
My MIL is a fat bully, she has to inturrupt in everthing i do.says thigs without thinking infront of whom she is saying that.She does not let me decide for my son, which i still do, by ptting my foot down, but the repurcussions are bad.She tortures me mentally all the time. We stay together, and her husband, my father in law does not stay wid us.so she does not let me and my husband spend time together, alwayas hovers around and tell peple about the details of our relationship in public. She is a big bitch and manipulator, lies, makes stories, fill relatives with things against us.Passes snide comments all the time. Directing towards my family, parents, hate her, want to get rid of her. She is the worst thing happened to me ever in my life.
I need to get my soon to be MIL as far away from me as possible. She is an ugly old bag with evil mole eyes that look at you behind big thick bottle bottom glasses. Shes a very manipulating person. She comes across as a ‘nice’ cheerful person but she is more than that I know. Shes a drama queen about everything and trys to manipulate every situation to suit her using the old ‘woe is me’ trick. All her other children want nothing to do with her so she’s picking on my fiance because he hasn’t learnt at all how manipulating she is. She acts like shes dumb or unaware of the things she does but she cant be that dumb all the time. once she butted in on an arguement my partner and me were having and told me to shut up…well I just let rip and told her to stfu. Well she started to fake cry and went all dramatic and told him to stop the car and she got out and ran off down the street. Well my partner fell for that and started abusing and assulting me and told me to get out of the car and smashed my mobile so I couldnt call the police or a taxi and pushed me onto a main road and said he hoped I would get hit by a bus. Well I was just gob smacked. then she came back without a tear in her mole eyes and told him to let me in the car and take me home. when i got back i was hysterical as you can imagine. I was so upset I was getting pains from my chest to my arm and all the time she was in another room with my partner all happy! I heard her laughing and having a grand old time. She must of loved the fact my partner sided with her and thought nothing of what i had just gone through. Shes done other things like that like when I told her not to excite my dog (she acts like shes some sort of affinity with dogs) because he was being disobedient and not coming back when I call him. She went all sulky and went to her room to sulk later on that day she needed directions to get somewhere and i offered to get a map for her and she just looked at me with her twisted ugly old face and slammed the door in my face. She done other stuff like that when no-one else is around. Shes like jackel and hyde. Now shes moving country to come and ’settle down’ near my partner to be in his life. its really annoying every single time she has visited and stayed with us there has been an arguement. Either with my partner or myself. She just does as she pleases and doesnt ask if thats what I want or even offers to do what she does she just says shes gonna do it and she does and if you tell her otherwise she either fake crys or sulks and creates a sh*t atmosphere. She once told my partner I shouldnt be allowed near his child as she saw me smack my dog once (i dont make a habit of hitting any animal but my dog was being disobedient because she was exciting him, he growled at me so I smacked him on the backside because he has never done that to me before)I just dont like the woman she is trouble with a capital T. Wherever she is theres an arguement always. I wish she would go find herself a man who will put up with her and get a decent shagging off him then maybe she’ll f**k off somewhere else. I seriusly get sick with worry when I know shes coming to visit. Now shes gonna be in my face 24/7 i know.
My mother-in-law is HITLER. She inturrupts my discussions with my common-law and corrects the way I am speaking to him. She comes between us when we are getting close. She comes over to our house and rearranges everything the way SHE wants it. We don’t have children (thank god) but she comes over and sprays her STINKY OLD LADY PERFUME on MY CATS (my babies) so that they SMELL LIKE HER. They crawl into bed with us and we have to smell HER! She will take things out of my hand ie ) a jar of honey while I’m cooking to do the recipe HER WAY at MY HOUSE. She introduces my common-law and I as “FRIENDS”. She has told us on many occasions that we “would make good friends”. She has had tantrums where she doesn’t speak to us (which I really enjoy actually) for weeks because I didn’t read her mind that she needed help in the kitchen when we were there for dinner. (Maybe I was avoiding her for good reason if you read above). I am very much in love with my partner however I am thinking about leaving him if he doesn’t get her out of our life. He’s an only child so that’s not exactly an option but he can’t stand her and always fights with her too. If she doesn’t leave our life, I’m going to have to leave. There is no way I’m marrying a man with a woman around like her…. I guess this is probably her plan (to get rid of me) but she’s going to make her son a lonely, lonely man if she treats everyone he’s with this way.
If she is wanting you to get rid of your parents. Then Hers should go too in all fairness to each other!
WOW… I see many of you have the same problems i’m having with my Mega Bitch, Crazy ass, crack head Mother in law… Infact it’s her children too. When they say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree… Thats Soooo true. The best advice I could give anyone is be sure to check out your potential spouses family before getting too far invloved and if its too late like in my case… Well I guess youd be here too looking how to “get rid of in laws” I’ll probably be taking the last bit of advice now which is get divorced as I have literally tried everything else. Just like me you deserve to be happy with peace in your home the old bitter bitch lived her life and needs to let you live yours.
i hate my inlaws too…just hate them…
very simple: I have a live-in middle eastern muslim MIL and I married number 4 of 5 boys she had…just got her greencard and plans to intrude upon our life for 6mos out of every yr. she’s handicapped being that she’s too obese to walk like a human and speaks with a pseudo beggar’s tone all day long, talks to herself and demands to be heard when she is talking to herself all day, complains about everything in life and enforces her own religious ethos on us. all this and i have to be the good little house wife who smiles and nods. so don’t tell me how screwed you are. i wish i could send her with a one way ticket to baghdad.
My sister-in-law is insane. She never got married and is trying to live her dream through my life. On my weeding day, she snuck into our private room at the reception and opened all our gifts. She contradicts me in front of my daughter all the time. On halloween she caled my husband screaming because she wanted to be the one to take my kid trick or treating.
She bought a house two years ago and doesnt even live in it. She sleeps during the week with her parents and then forces them to sleep at her house on weekends because she doesnt want to be alone. She has personally blamed me for taking her brother away from her. I wish she would talk to her and put her in her place, but he doesnt want to hurt her feelings and says I should just pity her. But all I want to do is strangle her.
i have been with my partner for over 2 years now and from the very start his sister has tried to break us up in anyway possible. we moved to a different state to get away from her constant bitchy attitude and her many failed attempts to break us up – and now from time to time she sends abusive emails and txt messages, she makes up lies that her mum or grandma are in hospital and they want to speak to my partner – but he wants nothing to do with them anymore – he’s told them that but his stupid sister carol doesn’t get it – she still keeps accusing me of taking him away from her and the rest of the family – I wish she’d leave us alone – she’s so evil and heartless, she acts like a jealous ex and it makes me sick. I hope she disappears because we’ve had enough of her BS. I haven’t seen a nice side to any of my partners family – their racist and cruel – his sister is the biggest liar, she tries to compete with me in his life – he has told her to leave us alone and never to call again but she still does. She’s a psycho and in need of mental therapy!!!!!!!!!!!!
