Besides the importance of setting boundaries, discussed above, you can make some changes which may help. Obviously they probably won't change, but you can. You can choose how to react to them. If you continue to allow them to push your buttons, then things probably won't improve. However, if you act as if they aren't getting through to you, and everytime you communicate with them, be as positive as you can, conveying all the good and happy things that you and you wife are doing to make your marriage successful, it may help to change their behaviour. It probably won't happen overnight, but with time it may help the situation.
