These people have been married 35 years and they still have "his money" and "her money" and basic needs like groceries has to be paid for by one person or the other? There's some serious problems with this whole situation. Sounds like there's been a big disconnect from the start.

To be clear, they didn't have separate money when I met them. The money situation is more like this: her money, and his and her money.. if you catch my drift. So yeah, beta.

She sounds swell. When they get divorced or she gets the Dad to off himself, think she'll come live with you?

You don't have a choice? You are more fuckrd that I thought already. Your wife has you in full control and will soon be yelling at you for not bringing yogurt home.

Really? My Mother in Law, who I really like and get along with swimmingly, wanted to come spend a week living with us when we have our baby to "help us out" (she lives 30 minutes away). In very clear terms I told my wife there is no way in hell I am letting that happen. As a matter of fact, I am sure that is exactly how I worded it and that was the end of the discussion.

I already told her when we put in the offer for this house that no family members, from my side or hers, would be staying with us. They come over to the nice clean house with extra rooms and suddenly they're living here and I'm buying Fage Yogurt for them. Hell no.
I don't think it will be a problem, but if the old man goes there is no way to afford their house.

we had our grandfather (from my dad's side) who stayed with us for quiet some time. My mother really really hated the idea to the point of disgust and we were all sort of taught to distance ourselves from him. I still don't use certain utinsils that my grandfather used when he used to live with us because we were sort of conditioned by mom to treat everything my grandfather touches with disgust....
In Canada, he didn't have anything to do and his outside activities were our yard and front porch. We were all sort of scared by him, so we didn't do much with the dude. Yeah shit. Sometimes it doesn't work out. I feel sorry for the dude the way he went out, got back to Korea and lived alone on $500 allowance that my dad sent and died alone. All his sons except my dad was successful in any meaningful way.... his youngest son sort of disappeared after military conscript....our family tree is fucked up in a real shitty way from my dad's side...

To be fair, there's a difference between pussywhipped/beta and simply trying to keep the peace, even if the latter is about as unstable and productive as the Korean border. Sometimes you just have to grin and bear it lest you want to spend the evening having an argument, when all you've been looking forward to all day is a few episodes of South Park followed by a few games of League of Legends. Like last night, I got home from work and the GF told me "I could help out" and pick up fruit after work today because she wanted to go to the gym. Now keep in mind I pay for EVERYTHING except groceries (mortgage, utilities, dinners, vacations-- all me) so my first reaction was annoyance that I "need to help out", but it just wasn't worth the argument.. The two things with women is 1) They want you to communicate honestly and "share your feelings", but if they don't like what you say (or how you phrase it) you're in for a world of fucking hurt and 2) They have ZERO issues it seems when it comes to the emotional torment/drama that is a fight. It sucks the life out of me to the point that by the end of a 2 hour fight with a GF I want to start a heroine addiction, but women seem to have unlimited stamina and refuse to ever tap out.

Nothing pisses a woman off more than saying your piece and then not allowing her to respond. Like saying "You know why I'm pissed, this is why and it's not up for discussion. Have a nice night I'm going out". Then shut off your phone. Leave for long enough and they'll be apologetic when you return. Women are emotionally charged so if you keep arguing the emotion never settles into reason. Leave them alone with their thoughts and reflection and they go through the 5 stages of grief in about an hour. You can argue for 10 days straight and your point will never get through to them. Argue for 10 minutes and leave and they'll have at least thought about what it is you were actually saying.
