[quote=Anonymous]OP, I was on your side for much of the thread.  DH’s parents have clearly said unforgivable, awful things and your DH should have dealt with that.  That said, the more you post, the less sympathetic I think you sound.  You take no responsibility for the state of your marriage.  At a minimum, it is abundantly clear that you do not communicate effectively with your DH, and seem to refuse to take any steps that might improve things.  Other posters have recommended individual therapy, and you apparently reject it (or do not address the topic).  Therapy for yourself could help you to address your situation better so you were less resentful.  Your resentment is understandable, but is negatively impacting your life and certainly your kids’ lives.  The level of bitterness in your posts is high, but there is also a sort of arrogance that gives the strong impression that you are right about everything and are better than your DH.  I suspect he has his own resentments built up around this situation, but you seem close-minded to that.  Let me reiterate that I find the behavior you described by your in laws reprehensible, and your DH’s failure to address it as very problematic.  At the same time, after reading your posts, I suspect that your attitude may also be impacting resolution of this with your DH.[/quote]
