[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In law issues can be a huge problem in a marriage- so you are right to be considering this.

However- this honestly does not sound like a major issue to me. A BIL/SIL who are (based on your description) kind of self righteous and braggy, and/or just plain get on your nerves?  Pretty common. As far as IL issues go, this is pretty minor. And as others have said so well- life will likely soon start to get in the way of spending so much time with them, and will also likely humble them a bit over time.

Even if you were to call it off with fiance and eventually get engaged to someone else- you’d most likely face issues with that guy’s family too (at a similar level to this, or potentially worse). It would be pretty unlikely to truly like and enjoy spending time with every single member of your DH’s side of the family….it could happen, but is unrealistic to expect IMHO. In most cases, there will be some relatives you just tolerate. And your BIL/SIL sound annoying- but tolerable. [/quote]

Yes, this.  It is doubtful that you will like all of your in-laws.  At least in your case, they sound well off and can chip in as needed when your MIL/FIL start needing help.  I married into a struggling family, except DH, so our challenges are significant as they often involve tradeoffs between supporting our kids or his parents/siblings.  I could easily tolerate an annoying or braggy BIL/SIL.  You could limit the time you spend with them and let DH do some of his visits solo.
