[quote=Anonymous][quote]What husband should do: The next time they complain about your not being close enough to them, he should have the guts and balls to stand up for you. "You say that Wife isn't close enough to you, and I've heard that for a long time. As your son and her husband, I want to be clear that I don't want to hear this any more." And when they do it yet again, he and you (and kids if any) leave as he says, "We need to go now. I did say that I would not be party to hearing you complain about Wife. Have a nice day." [/quote]

Additions in bold:

"You say that Wife isn't close enough to you, and I've heard that for a long time. [b]Has it ever occurred to you that if that's true, your behavior is the reason?  Think back to the episode with the $50,000 'gift' - was your demand designed to foster a close relationship with her, or did it just serve to remind her that you feel she is an interloper in your family?  From now on,[/b] [a]s your son and her husband, I want to be clear that I don't want to hear this any more." And when they do it yet again, he and you (and kids if any) leave as he says, "We need to go now. I did say that I would not be party to hearing you complain about Wife. Have a nice day." [/quote]
