There’s something to be said about people who never leave their town/state/country. General disinterest and insular.

Careful… your privilege is showing. Many cannot afford international travel.

I don’t know… my in laws and BIL/SIL are kind of like OPs in some ways. They complain about how they could never afford an international travel (we travel internationally a lot to visit my family and just for general travel), yet they go to Disney or universal with the whole family two to three times a year. They definitely could afford an international vacation based on what they spend on trips, and we’ve pointed that out to them several times, but they still complain about it so we don’t say anything now. It’s weird but I think it’s a mental roadblock for them that international travel is something they can’t afford so they somehow don’t see it. To be fair they probably can’t actually afford all of their Disney trips but my husband’s family spends literally every cent they have of the not horrible but not great salary they have and refuse to save for retirement because my BIL says he’ll just work until he drops dead so he might as well enjoy his time now.

It’s so weird that people value international travel and have never travelled the breadth of their own country.

I know they will argue about the cultural experience, but there is very little culture any more in the typical
Tourist hotspots. Yes, you get to see the old buildings but most people are going on the English speaking tour with their English speaking tourist friends, staying at English speaking chain hotels, and found to safe chain or predictable restaurants. They’re not going into the country and exploring, much like they don’t go into their own country to explore anything beyond their own worlds or tourist areas.

People don’t even travel the breadth of their own cities…

What about this isn't terrible?
- Drinking and driving with an open container on the road
- Spending MIL's money
- Gambling 20K of your spouse's funds
- Dropping the N word and racist jokes

+1. They are awful. But they’re your husband’s awful to take the lead in dealing with. It is what it is.

It’s sad how many people give up on their own family and choose divorce. There really is truth in the saying “Men sacrifice their happiness for their family, women sacrifice their family for their happiness.”

Not an old saying. No one says this.

This is not a saying and the number of abusive and cheating men would say otherwise as to the norm. Keep trying.

Divorce is the answer OP. It’s never too late.

Lol. All the MAGAs are attracted to the “trashbag family” thread like moths to a flame.

SOOOO many good families. I mean, the Astors even have an opening coming up.

Maybe just accept the fact that the world has all different types of people and you can’t control what others think or do. Not everyone has to agree with you. People can have views you find abhorrent… you’re allowed to disagree. Even about *gasp* race.

So you're cool with thinking that blacks are an inferior race?

Woof I have in laws similar to what you described. We are divorcing now and let me say I’m so excited so not have to deal with them for the rest of my life AND their true colors are coming out during this divorce…even more so than they had. We married relatively young and I had no idea how much of an influence they would have on our marriage
