[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Often see posts here asking how would you react to certain family events,issues,etc. Perhaps less of an issue these days, but realize with hindsight how much of an impact the fact that my MIL doesn't drive has impacted our life. My DW has tried to be accommodating all these years and have foregone any moves that would take us out of the area. It has also impacted MIL willingness to move to safer area because she has no mobility. As I start thinking about relocating to avoid winters I realize her lack of mobility traps not only her, it traps me. Perhaps food for thought. When I met my wife she did not drive and I insisted on teaching her as I didn't want the ramifications of a spouse that didn't drive. I wasn't smart enough to realize MIL presented same limitations. You really need to look at your potential spouses family and realize they will be your own. [/quote]

This isn't really a driving issue, because there are many other ways for someone like this to move around, as others have pointed out. It has more to do with your DW's relationship to her mother and her feeling of obligation to her. [/quote]
