[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are HIS parents. It is HIS relationship to manage. Back off. [/quote]

I disagree.  If op likes them why can't see visit them?[/quote]

Because it's interfering with his relationship.   Because it's shitty to not support your spouse.   Because she doesn't have the lived experience of all the interactions from his childhood for context.

If anything,  she should say something gently directly to him, but never go around his back.[/quote]

OP here. I don't plan to go around his back - at all.

Thanks to everyone for their responses. One thing I will say is that the family dynamic, the location of (almost) all the in-laws, and how gatherings are planned means that it's really everyone getting together. Visiting DH's siblings without also visiting the in-laws a couple of miles away from them would be a HUGE snub and would elevate this to a much higher level of conflict.

I'm thinking of inviting everyone to our house for Thanksgiving/pitching that to my husband. The old "to have a friend you have to be a friend" philosophy from my mother.
