It looks like I am somewhat lucky in this area. Mr. TCSparky and I have been living together for 15 years. We may or may not actually get married. His parents live 40 minutes away, but I only see them 2-3 times a year. He sees them every 1-2 months. His mother is a total nightmare. She is super-controlling, and thinks that she knows EVERYTHING there is to know about everything. She is also extremely rude and condescending. To everyone, not just me.
His dad is a total doormat, and never says or does anything to rock the boat. He has to live with her, after all. When he was in the hospital a couple of months back, Mr. TCSparky went to visit. His dad had a private room, and while Mr. TC was visiting, he needed to use the restroom, and asked his dad if it was OK for him to use the one in his room. It was fine by him, but his mother stated that no, she did not think that was appropriate, and told him that if he went in there, she would call hospital security and have him removed! He didn't speak to her for a month after that.
When we had only been together a few years, she was trying to fix him up with the daughter of a friend, and frequently makes references to him "finding someone nice." However, that doesn't stop her from contacting me when she needs help with her grandchildren's schools!!
When he goes to see them, I do something else (TC has a sorority meeting, TC has something going on at work, TC is out of town), so I'm spared. A couple of times a year, I'll go with him to meet them at a restaurant.
