Sadly, my wife’s parents did not make any effort to make her life better. Her dad is just a terrible person (abusive, neglectful, narcissistic, all the classics)
and her mom is narcissistic, angry, hateful, and worst of all, helpless. She can walk around and do things but… She won’t. She will instead demand to be helped, fed, dressed, bathed, she needs the tv turned on, and she expects you to read her mind. When we were dating I remember her mom literally yelling at her for a week because my wife grabbed the wrong flavor of ramen noodles. She wasn’t told which flavor to get.
My wife is not only unstoppable, she is a saint. I can’t believe she married me.
your wife’s expectations are so low that your basic respect and competent and communication probably make you seem like a saint to her.
I’d kill to meet a partner who was just… a decent human being. I have had no such luck. Everyone I have dated lies, manipulates, and acts like a toddler when it comes to emotional stuff. They left zero room in the relationship for me to have my own life. Being single for the past 6 years has been amazing because I have actually been able to achieve things without the dead weight of a needy and useless partner who contributes nothing to the relationship in terms of adult responsibilities.
my parents weren’t that bad but they were similar in their helplessness and refusal to take responsibility for anything and their blaming of everyone else.
