NC for this.
DH staying with PIL for a month (new job) - we haven’t relocated yet so this kind of works.PIL are in late 80s no health issues, v comfortably off, lots of leisure activities, etc. V happy to have him but history of being manipulative / controlling / demanding with all 3 DC and adult DGC - apron strings still firmly fixed and both foul tempered if their expectations aren’t met! At a distance, he can hold boundaries. I’ve no friends or family locally. Last week, I asked if he’d be ok calling me w/out causing a drama - no problem DH said.
Just called him - he was behaving like he had left a sink overflowing! He’d run upstairs to take my call and couldn’t get away fast enough. I made him stop and calm down to explain what was happening. DH said he’s ’too stressed trying to please DP’ and me. Reminded him that I am his wife. He dashed off to be with them. No idea how to handle this. Apols for the long post.
