I’m thinking of giving an ultimatum to tell my wife to choose me or her mother.
Almost 4 years ago my father in law passed alway. My mother in law has been sleeping on my living room couch and staying with us since then. I am trying to stay engaged with our relationship and maintain happiness but it’s increasingly difficult.
My wife is an only child and has always been around her parents – we lived with them for a few years as well when we were younger. I am just at a point where I’m very frustrated. Every vacation day or day trip we take with the kids her mother is along with us. I don’t have much of a relationship with my wife at this point. They sit in the living room, watch shows and go to bed whenever. I have spoken to my wife about how I feel and she doesn’t want to create an issue between them. Ready for the cherry on top? My mother in law owns a house which she can stay in 2KM away from here. I’m not saying don’t see her but maybe not 24/7?
