We are always the ones who spend money traveling to see in laws

OP and her DH are millionaires, but really want to spend time with FIL (who by the way was an asshole who abandoned DH at age 5 and is married to stepMIL who insists they spend all their money on her bio kids and not DH) is just too expensive. Is that right? Did I miss anything?

JFC guys, many folks in this area are technically millionaires because they have a lot of equity in retirement funds, residential/rental property and investment accounts they don't want to liquidate. None of which they want to immediate liquidate. They're millionaires on paper but not in their active lives. Stop being obtuse.

Dude, she volunteered the information and said they could afford the trips. Stop correcting people, it's so rude.

Your poor husband; his father does not sound like a very good guy (the way he treated your husband when young and his mother) and you sound pretty awful also.

Just not interested in wasting time with them. It seems like a dead end relationship.

I say this gently op but this is not your choice to make. You may be right but your DH has to come to this realization on his own. You just need to support him through his struggles.

You must be OPs inlaws. I'm just wondering how you concluded the above from her post.

I think this one nailed it right from the beginning. The subsequent follow ups by OP do her no favors.
