How do you deal with in laws you despise?

Tons for me- I like my father in law and one of my sisters in law though.

My wife seems to be constantly on the phone with them- it's really weird- it's like they have no friends outside of family (my wife doesn't)- don't get me started on the fact my wife leaves video calls on when she briefly leaves to get something, etc- it's like fucking big brother!

It really feels like my wife hasn't cut the umbilical chord from her mum and is too dependent on her for an adult.

Don't get me wrong- my family are close too and would do anything for us- but I don't let them control my life.

It all stems from an argument when we were living in another town and then the mum and a few of her sisters followed- we lived in the same house- after a few months of their antics I like a human and not a robot snapped- my wife wouldn't even wear the necklace I got her because she was worried about what her family would think- pathetic.

Does your mrs get on with her family?
@Gangstress On a positive note she does- that's not the issue though- I do too, we regulary have get togethers and I call my mum every night.

My family just don't get in my affairs and understand that I have a life outside of their decisions.

I also have friends- my wife has zero and I feel this is a common trend wih victims of toxic families.
