I won't bore you with too many details, but lately I just don't want to spend time with my wife's family... She wants me to spend more time with them, but every time I'm around them- it's an ordeal for me.

The last time I spent any time with them, someone (I never met him before) from her extended family just came up and started yelling at me.

We're supposed to go to see her family again this Friday. But I doubt I'll go.

I'm okay with seeing them for short periods of time on holidays- but that's about all I can handle.

I suspect that most of the problem is that I have different religious and political views than the rest of them. They let met know that that is an issue for them. They also let me know that my choice of vocation is unacceptable to them.
