[quote=Anonymous]I would not spend time with them at all- or at least avoid as much as possible.  Not quite the same but when my husbands brother and sister in law were coming to visit and she and I in bad place I told him I didn’t want them to visit - flat out told him to tell them no. He called and said he had a personal issue that had come up and it’s not going to work or wouldn’t be a good visit.  
   Then when they came another time ( another rough patch in our marriage there have been many) I left on “biz” trip- I can travel when I need and I quickly planned one and left town- then another time I went to my best friends to stay. On that one, I didn’t tell my husband it was because I wasn’t happy in marriage but I just didn’t have it in me to pretend to be happy and my resentment to him made me note give a crap what they thought. I simply told him my friend needed me to help her live her son and I agreed to before I knew they were coming. 
 I really could not have been a good host.

Good luck but I completely feel for you. Been there done that. On resenting husband and on faking it in front of his family.  Hope you can be honest though with your husband on how you feel about his continual job losses. Unless he’s in a really bad field, it may speak to his work ethic and that would be tough to swallow.[/quote]
