None of those are good reasons to leave a parish sacraments.
Take the good and leave the rest.

You will never have peace or charity without re-joining the Body of Christ on earth, the Church, under Pope Francis, and you will be a a tumbleweed in the desert, blowing from here to there in the wind, finding rest nowhere.

XavierSem, that you?

 I too am suspicious of the SSPX but the resistance near me doesn't have any fruits just nuts. 
I couldn't agree more...but I hope everyone here sees that as a good thing.

I'm an SSPX parishioner, and my church's parish life feels "tense". It's as though charity has grown cold.
There seems to be a lot of distrust and suspicion among parishioners. My wife has no friends at the parish.
Anyone else here experience similar things in the SSPX?
Unlike Protestants, Catholics go to Church for the Mass, the Eucharist, Christ. If people are friendly, all the nicer, but if not, then, we still do our duty to God, assist at Mass, accept the sacraments, and go home. We don't run off and join another parish, or even denomination just because it 'feels' tense. They would have to literally throw me out and refuse me entrance to keep me away; so long as there was nothing actually sinful or harmful going on.

Because that is the case, then it is best to use the chapel / priest for what you need, namely, the Mass and the sacraments and avoid socializing with anyone there. Why not invite the priest over for dinner and socialize with him for an hour or two, he may know a few members of the congregation that you might get along with. But as others have said, unless there are plenty of trad chapels to choose from in your area, that's no reason to leave.
