Well, she's been accommodating you and your parents for decades. Don't you think there would be some catching up to do with her own family?

PS - Again: it sounds like you don't really like your wife very much. [/quote]

Well she spends 4-5 weeks a year with them, 24 hours a day. 
We see my parents for maybe an hour a week, which over a year totals about 2 days' worth.

OMG! Shall I call you a wah-mbulance?

You're exhausting, op. Truly.

You two need joint counseling. Someone needs to help you realize that marriage is a two-way street, compromise is critical, and your tit for tat attitude is dangerous. A good therapist can help you with that.

Unfortunately, a therapist can't train you to love your wife and prioritize her happiness.

West coast wife here.  This seems a little harsh. Op has in fairness said he’d be open to various ideas including counseling.  And he’s on here getting a gut check and subjecting himself to judgement.  Give  him credit for that.  It’s a legit dilemma and I feel for both him and his wife.  [/quote]

You don't see a problem with how he keeps score and prioritizes his needs? I do.
