[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH is the one who would rather not spend time with his family. Although she may not know it, all the cards and gifts she has received from him were because of my efforts. I reminded him that we needed to pick up Mother's Day flowers and cards. I also reminded him that their 50th anniversary was approaching and we should arrange a celebration. He loves his parents but would rather spend time with his own nuclear family and hobbies. I think some husbands hide behind their "family obligations" and their wives are assumed to be the problem. [/quote]

I know more than a few men who take the path of least resistance. For some it is out of sight, out of mind, mostly relationship laziness that also spills into their marriages after a few years. For others, is is just easier not to have to deal with the subtle or not so subtle wrath of their wives and they just end up limiting contact with their parents. In the end, everyone feels cheated and no one is happy, especially the husbands who have been put in the untenable position of choosing between those they love.  Sad for everyone concerned including the wives.[/quote]
