Almost as good as it can be.
Wife is only child, but "thankfully" in my case his FIL was total jerk to him. Like total jerk. So, my FIL is genuinely a good FIL / Grandpa but his FIL only helped me.
Now, it ain't always peaches n cream, but much mutual respect helps us get past the bumps.

I had the father-in-law from hell, but he treated all the inlaws, 5, equally as bad, his own children as well. He was just a cold, unloving person & never cared about having any kind of relationship with anyone beyond his wife, our mother-in-law. A doctor in a medium-sized city, his wife his nurse, who always took a calculator with him when the family went out to eat: he would sit down & figure out to the penny who owed what. I once sat on my hands, when the wife & I were taken out to eat, just the 4 of us, refusing to pony up till my shins were too sore from being kicked under the table. We had just married & she was still in school, so every nickle mattered to us. a 1000 similar stories.

Don't have one yet but this is similar to my dad and my mom's dad. My dad was an alcoholic and it led to my parents' divorce but he's gotten clean and my grandpa likes him a lot now. We go to sporting events together sometimes and they get along great.

I love my FIL. He’s a great dude who is willing to help with anything I need. He’s not intrusive in our lives. Doesn’t hurt he likes to drink and we align politically.

Wish it was better to be honest, especially seeing as how I always enjoy spending time with him. But when you spend half your weekends out of town in Arizona and the other half is prioritized with his friends, it leaves little time for my wife, myself, and our son. Maybe one day he'll realize the relationship he lost out on with his daughter and grandson, but I doubt it.
ETA: Not wanting to sound selfish, he does this to all family members.

How does one go so long without going to the grocery?

it was great even after we divorced. He was upfront and we met for coffee and went toe to toe figuratively to clear the air. Afterwards we were both very friendly when our paths crossed

Almost exactly the same situation as mine.
See him about once or twice a year, usually have a chat with bourbon involved. He tries to convince us to move back, we say "maybe".

He gets mad when I talk about fricking his daughter
Posted on 8/26/21 at 5:06 pm to Cregg
Nonexistent since he died 11 years before we married.

Will be at his house in about 30 minutes. Left the wife at home to go eat catfish with him.

Mine is a good fellow and is basically a quiet man. He does not wear his hearing aids and I believe that keeps him from engaging in conversation more than he does. When I offer to help him do something though he often accepts the assistance and we enjoy doing those things together.

Great relationship with him. He's the complete opposite of my dad in many ways, so that's been cool. He does get on my nerves from time to time, but that's pretty minor in the grand scheme of things.

Great until I divorced his daughter.
Posted on 8/26/21 at 5:23 pm to Cregg
Very good

He died long before I knew my wife.
I have an uncle in law that somewhat fills that role. We’re totally different people. Very few similar interests, but we get along well.

He’s an awesome guy and more of a father figure to me than my own dad.

My father in law loves talking about fricking my mother in law. It was funny when I first started dating my wife, and even a few years into marriage, but they're in their late 70's now and I really don't want to hear that she gave him a blow job the night before, or that he's almost out of viagra. The really uncomfortable part is my mother in law likes talking about sex if she's had a couple of drinks. Luckily she doesn't drink very often.

My father in law is a cool old cat. For a Vietnam vet, he's about as chill as you can get. We get along fine.
