[quote=Anonymous]It's not gaslighting, but it's certainly annoying and unpleasant. You need to disengage from it. Cook whatever you want to cook, or order in, or whatever, and then when they complain, just say, "I'm sorry you don't like the meal." When your husband criticizes you or acts like a jerk, just step away--go for that walk on your own, or say, "I'm sorry you don't want to go to the beach today. I've really been looking forward to it, though, so I'll meet back up with you at dinnertime." But really, your husband sounds like a jerk. Being with our parents can make us fall back into old patterns of behavior, but grownups can control themselves. [/quote]
