[quote=Anonymous]If OP isn’t a troll, then here is “what I would do.” I would be talking to my husband about how the two of you could align to handle these visits going forward.

I’m the poster whose dad can be sort of like this. My husband is lucky I guess that I’m happy to limit my time with my dad and he lives close enough that he doesn’t ever have to spend the night. At thanksgiving when we were going to see my dad for lunch, my husband realized that he had not seen my dad since January. This is how much I limit contact. I had seen my dad in May because I did go to his town for a couple of days when when was hospitalized.

You and your husband need to really decide what you will or will not do. While all of this behavior is obnoxious, I don’t think it merits going no contact if your husband doesn’t want that. But you can work together on how you set limits around all of this.

But you need to let go of this guy wanting to suddenly connect with your family on some deep level. He is literally incapable of this. What you can manage around is how much money you spend on this guy and how long he stays and how often. Work on that.[/quote]
