[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They have been married a little over a month and he moved in when they got back from their honeymoon.  I cannot imagine the marriage ending.  I don't know why he is trying to change things that have been in place for over a year.

All I know is I am not going to stay at a job that causes me anxiety.  If she does not let me watch DC during her custody time at DB's house I don't know how I can stay on.  There is no way I can stay in the same house with him after hearing their argument.  After I dropped off DC at school I did not even got back to the house.  [/quote]

The marriage is going to end because most second marriages do, especially those where the step-parent tries to direct care of the child.

If he wanted to be reasonable, he would talk to his wife privately about money and a housekeeper, or possibly offering you money to do certain tasks (which you might or might not be willing to do), or hiring someone else who was willing.

Instead, he's being an asshole to you and complaining about his position in the household heirarchy. I'm sure it's not the only area where he feels someone else (her son) is commanding resources (her money, her time, space) that he believes should be his to control. Unless your MB is a self-loathing pushover, she's going to get tired of this quickly.

Now, is it going to end tomorrow? No. But six months sounds about right.
