    I think you’re on to something, but just to be sure, could you say it again without trying to sound like a wizard?

      If there’s someone you don’t like, you only have to deal with them as much as your other relationships need you to.

      Your MIL is awful -> engage with her only as much as your spouse expects you to.

      If she’s a total bitch and your spouse expects you to be besties and you can’t talk it out -> re-evaluate your relationship

      What kind of people you have around you determine what kind of people you’re expected to put up with.

      What is important to you determines what kind of people you have around you.
