As we said before, you will get nearly everyone because you have probably selected to include everyone that is related to your husband's line. Did you try what I suggested before, namely "You could always unlink the one person who is your direct ancestor that is your husband's ancestor's cousin" or sibling.
Obviously that will leave a hole in that family, but you have to decide at one point in the tree you don't want that line to come all the way down to you. There should only be one link that you need to disable, other than your marriage link. Step-by-step: First unlink your marriage. Then run the set relationships tool, using your husband as the main person. Then do a Relationship Calculator between you and your husband to find the common ancestor. Choose which person, between you and that common ancestor, you wish to end the line for. Edit that person, and unlink them from their marriage and children. Return to your husband and check your relationship again. See if there is another connection. You may need to do a check and repair, and set relationships command again to be sure there is no other link. I hope this helps you this time. If not, ask away.
