Been married 25 wonderful years. Because of 3 words. Yes Dear, absolutely. Any and all questions are answered that way. Any question that forces me to deviate from that answer usually leads to some sort of confrontation.
For her parents, I substitute Dear for mom and pop, but the answer is the same. Only time I ever deviated from that answer landed me in the dog house and I my inlaws refused to talk to me for almost 5 years?
The question? How can you like that George Bush? Answer. If Hitler was a democrat you would vote for him. They are Jewish.
Reading between the lines, it sounds like you don't get a ton of support from your wife. Well, you knew what you were in for, so I am POSITIVE that you are coping.
You WILL outlive the inlaws and then...be free of the annoyance. My mother-in-law didn't like me but I took my a brother-in-law's advice, JUST like yours:
You're right.
Yes, that was pretty silly of me to do.
Et cetera.
Everyone is gone now but I am glad I did it that way. One day my mother-in-law came to visit us and whispered in my ear: "I love you." I almost fainted.
Later I told my husband that his mother MUST be ill to say what she did. She WAS ill and passed away not too long after that.
We only go around once so there is EVERY reason to do things the right way.
“Been married 25 wonderful years. Because of 3 words. Yes Dear, absolutely. “
That’s not wonderful.
That’s doormat.
