As a person who has been married 22 years, I can attest that parents of an SO have an effect on your relationship in many more ways than you can imagine.
You might think you could "ignore" them, but you will not be able to ignore your SO's relationship with them and especially not the influence they had on your SO as a child.
It depends on how close your SO is with his own parents. If he's a momma's boy or the type who sees them weekly or even monthly, then, it will be a tough road ahead.
Let's say he's not that close to them himself & maybe talks to them every few months or more or he lives in another state from them & only seens them pretty much on holidays or 2-4 times a year. Then, that's of course better for you!

I've found that if there have been girls I've gone out with I have REALLY liked, I typically liked their parents. The converse is also true. Reliably so.
People mirror their parents. Reliably so. Just look in the mirror.
It depends on if he sets appropriate boundaries, and if he puts up a united front. If he was the type to throw me under a bus, it wouldn't last very long.
