Wife Question: Dropping Momma' at the Plane

Go to downtown DC. I know a guy. He can get you a new ID and a new life. With your new ID open an account in the Cayman islands and transfer all your money. After you do that fly down to Mexico and live out the rest of your life as a free man. You're welcome. VIVA LA MEXICO!!!!!

this brings up point that is going to be hard for me in the future. At some point you will need to help care for your folks and hopefully at theat time your spouse will be understanding.

I can remember my mom caring for my grandmother in her last year of her life it was a big strain but we all understood and pitched in my dad included.


Also I can't wait for the follow up thread about this fight, the pickup from the airport!

Good point...that's going to be a challenge even if everything is chirpy and when you throw a monkey wrench into the mix the relationship will only get strained.

Oh, I already got out of that so that we could do something that weekend, but that doesn't matter. It's like this weekend is the last weekend each of us will spend on Earth and I chose my family over her.

TMC, let me ask you, is she normally a really stubborn person? From the stories you've told on here, it seems to me that you and your wife have a pretty kick-ass relationship. It will be fine.

She's EXTREMELY stubborn, but yes, we have a great relationship and routinely I'll decline an invitation to have dinner with my family just so that she and I can have a date night. I've just never seen it like this.

Will it work if I was to go to Costa Rica instead of Mexico?

Well said. I'm not a big fan of my mother-in-law. She's a very good person, but we just don't see eye to eye on a lot of things. But we play nice and are pleasant to each other for my wife's sake. Marriage/family involves lots of compromises.


Me and you same boat. My MIL is just annoying but does a lot for my family so I give her the respect she deserves.

She came on our beach trip with us this year for a few days of the week we were there, I could tell we both had had enough of each other by third day, which ironically was the day she left.

I think MIL get the short end of the stick most times anyways by the time you are done with your wife's drama and your own mom's drama you have little left in the tank to deal with the MIL's drama and if you got daughters you are even further drained.

That's really weird. As someone else suggested- is there something else going on in her life right now that would cause an outburst like this? Has something been building up inside her and this was just the straw that broke the camel's back? Seems like a gigantic overreaction.

OK, you wanna' know what's weird. She texted me and said, "You better not ignore me. I'm going to keep bugging you until you answer me."

I said, "DON'T BUG ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Where she could hopefully tell I was kind of kidding.

So she writes, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not fond of Saturday, but I'm better with it - also in this deal it better be a kickass night full of monkeys, strippers and midgets."

That's the exact quote.

Oh, I already got out of that so that we could do something that weekend, but that doesn't matter. It's like this weekend is the last weekend each of us will spend on Earth and I chose my family over her.My guess is she's either knocked up or she was planning to off you and sell your organs on the black market this weekend, but I'm good with relationship advice so I could be wrong.

It better not be male strippers she's asking for.
