I think your point is valid. He is definitely not giving you the consideration that you deserve when it coems to these matters with his parents. It is not really his parents needs but his needs to clear the schedule for them everytime they call or visit. Like life must come to a screeching halt when they are on the phone or visiting. You have every right to have more consideration of your feelings in this regard. If he cannot see your point, then why not possibly set up a visit with a counselor. Its not like your marriage is in trouble or anything, but you seem to be at an impasse about this. I hate to say try doing a tit for tat but what if you were to pull some of the same behaviors on him regarding your parents?
He sounds like someone who is very unreasonable, not so much as regard to his parents, but the fact that he twists your words around to something that you didn't say.
May I ask.
Thanks for the responses!
Could your DH be overcompensating for your Mom's behavior?
I would agree if you said about not maintaining boundaries.
That said, given the reason about before marriage etc. , I guess he is trying to be as fair as possible from his parents pov and trying not to make things worse / complicated because of miscommunication.
It can difficult being a man sometimes, lol !
Did he act like this BEFORE you were married?
Good point...that is probably the wrong way to phrase it.
