If you have ever had deal with an in-law or a spouse you will quickly realize what works and what does not. Especially when the in-law in question is not a bad person or does not do anything, in particular, against you or your family. Unless the in-law is a bastard, mean, intrusive or downright wicked, all this tough "tell like it is" talk or barring action does not always work. It might yield the results you desire in the short term, but might cause irreversible damage in the long term that you will regret later.

It is easy to do all this tough talk on an internet site, but to look a person in the eye, who has done nothing wrong to you or your family, who is the parent of your spouse and tell them where to jump off never works in the long run. You are bound to regret it.

Sometimes, strength of character is not what you refuse to accept, but what you are willing to take.
