[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not too into non blood family members either. He is literally not related to her-why would he care?[/quote]

She's a baby. She's young and cute. He's a human being. Presumably.

Refusal to have anything with a baby your wife obviously cares about is weird. Not paying for the onesie? Come on. I can't believe people are saying it's normal. I must be from another planet or some shit. Call me a hag, but I can't imagine tolerating fussing at the cash register, because DH doesn't want to pay for something. Asshole.[/quote]

It's probably not about paying for the 5 dollar onsie. It's probably the idea that the guys wife just puts shit up on the register when he is trying to check out and just expects him to pay or it. It's an entitled attitude. This DW expects her husband to feel the way she feels, want the things she wants, and pay for the things she wants, and when he doesn't do it, she thinks he doesn't have the RIGHT to feel a certain way.

She sees her family 2-3 times a week, and he goes with her once a week - she said he seems to enjoy himself - but doesn't get as excited as she does and that embarrasses her - which is total bullshit. How many posts on DCUM about people who hate their ILs - this guy goes to see them once a week, enjoys himself, but she is pissed because he doesn't seem to be as excited as she is - OF COURSE HE ISN'T - it's not his family - but at least he is putting in the effort.

DW seems like a nightmare to be with, with her insane expectations and her selfish, entitled attitude. DH isn't complaining about buying a onsie, he is sick and tired of his crazy wife.[/quote]

I see this completely differently. A woman is stuck with a man with issues. He clearly can't relate to others. He sounds stingy and generally unpleasant to be around. That is aside from how he feels about his wife's family etc.[/quote]

Another person with reading comprehension problems.

Actually read the OP's post. She says - he sees her family once a week and enjoys himself. When she shows him a picture of the niece, he smiles. She just is pissed because he is displaying a 7 on the excitement scale instead of the 10 she wants him to show. Which, is a bullshit expectation. Why would anyone expect that someone feel a certain way about someone else and get pissed when they don't?
