Just looking for some tips on how to avoid the in-laws.

We always have to drive 5 hours to go see them and being with them
would force anyone to become a mass murderer.
So far I have been able to control my rage.

They never come see us so I'm ok in that department.

They grew up pretentious and wealthy and I grew up poor so you can see why we don't get along.

Any tips on how to come up with excuses to not go see them?

The ideas you come up with also have to fool my wife.

Manup! and quit cryin'=we can't change your life for you, sadly we've tried to in the past for people who've wondered this way with a problem, but it's not worked out 😉

From a womans point of view if she really enjoys spending time with them then it's important that you go along or at least drive there with her and then get something else done that is so important, but comunication is key here. If she dosen't really enjoy seeing them then refusing to go is good for both of you.

She enjoys going as much as she can, I do it for her.

So does "kiss my a$$" actually mean "Thank you"?

It's interesting that she enjoys it so much and you find it so un enjoyable. I think your best telling her what you don't enjoy because she knows you so she'll understand whatever it is. Or maybe it's you who need to change your attitude towards them, for example if your thinking when you see them that they're noticing your car's not so flash, maybe you're wrong.

I'm waffeling, I'm tired.

No kiss my *** means I don't really want to do that.

OK let me get this straight. Your in laws are , roughly your age. Let's assume they are late 30's you're 30, so your wife is what early 20's? You married her not the in laws. As I see it you have two choices 1) Tell your wife what you "really" think or 2) do as you've done and "cowtow" to her wishes, which is probably the best way considering what you've already said here. You seem to be aware of "which side your toast is buttered on".

Anyone who read my original post will see her family is "wealthy"

Which also includes my wife.

So yes I am her "b**ch" but I was looking for clever excuses to not go.

I wasn't looking for "grow some balls man"

This is the general forum. Aka the piss taking forum.

Anyway he really ment stand ya ground, afterall I seriously doubt your wife wants you to be her "'b**ch'".

I suspect you feel inadaquate around them and would rather skip the whole thing becasue it challanges you to stand up for yourself and beleive in yourself, that you are equal. But I'd certianly not say that to you.

Exactly!

And it leads to fights.
