The last time I spend 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.

He came up and started yelling at you? About what?

How incredibly rude. You're a very kind and patient person for putting up with that kind of behavior for your wife's sake. Have you talked to her about their behavior? Maybe she'll be understanding if she knows how judgmental some of her family members are being.
