It seems like your husband had tried enough (seeing them 10 times). You may need to work on your family to stop being sarcastic and make your husband uncomfortable when visiting them. If not, you can just visit them yourself. No need to make excuses. Just tell them why he doesn't want to visit. You should be ok with your husband not coming to visit and not giving him a hard time after. He needs to know you're on his side.
My wife hates my family. What made it different from the OP and the later person who revived the thread was that I'm not exactly thrilled about my family. Therefore, my wife hating my family was not a show stopper.
Now initially, I adored her family. Key operative being I did. Then, we both discovered some things about how she was getting screwed by her family, so now we are in unison giving a very cold shoulder to both.
We are nearly de facto orphans. Not sure if that is a permanent situation but it's rare for people in their late 70s and 80s to change much. So it probably is what it is.
