[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP. MIL was very sick and in a nursing home. My wife had to attend to her, provide certain things and traveled about 2 hours round trip to where she was. Not only was I employed full time but it fell upon me to pick up the slack with the home and kids. It also cost us money when we really didn't have a lot to spare. Tough at times? Sure. But [b]I guess since I loved my wife and my MIL I didn't feel burdened by it nor neglected.[/b] Sometimes we have an opportunity to give back. I for one relish those times in gratitude.[/quote]

Wow.....insinuating that DH doesn't love her husband........ :roll:   And 'relish those times in gratitude'?  I don't even know what the fuck that means but it still made me gag.[/quote]

Your rambling is useless and cringe worthy.[/quote]

Yeah, I think he's trying to say OP should change her mindset - like she doesn't have feelings, like it's okay her husband taking a leave of absence from the family he created, like it's okay that he continually makes unilateral decisions that negative impact him, that he expects her to accommodate his needs but when she tries to communicates her needs, he shuts her down in a rude and disrespectful way.  Yeah, OP should just change her mindset and find the love in all this and be grateful he's given her this opportunity. [/quote]
