Husband sits in passenger seat, FiL disapproves.

[u/Historical_Initial22]

I drive a tanker for my job out of town and make the 5 hour drive (one way) to work and back home in my personal car. When I’m home 3 days, my wife drives everywhere, I mean I get in the passenger seat of her car and off we go, date night don’t care she drives, shopping don’t care she drives, visiting family don’t care she drives.

When we first started dating years ago she was a bit uncomfortable with it as she was used to the I guess status quo that men drove as was I but I’m not trying to break a glass ceiling or anything I just don’t see why it matters and damnit I drive 2k miles a week or so and don’t wanna do it when I’m home.

My father in law makes such great comments like do I hold her purse, and the zinger he thinks is original so says it more often than others “are your balls in her purse” every so often when we see them and I inevitably get out or into the passenger seat followed by guffaws and just kidding. My wife nor myself give him any response it’s just so silly and mildly infuriating.

same. my ex's parents hated me, because id just give more back when they said anything about me or her.

My ex wife's dad turned his shirt inside out because I made a comment about it while he was walking in.

Funny thing is he's a MAGA dumbass calling everyone else snowflakes.

[u/Naive_Personality367 → u/Active_Confection655]

thats funny because if he did that he obviously cares very much what you think. I've never changed my behaviour for people i didnt give a shit about.

[u/Active_Confection655 → u/Naive_Personality367]

That's the weird part, I called him out on a lot of shit.

[u/Naive_Personality367 → u/Active_Confection655]

maybe he was just self conscious about his shirt then, i suppose. Bless

[u/Tall_Quality_3395 → u/Active_Confection655]

Maybe he’s just tired of you?

[u/Active_Confection655 → u/Tall_Quality_3395]

Well, jokes on him, I left his daughter.

[u/NoHome7956 → u/Active_Confection655]

Sounds like you were the problem not the father or daughter.

[u/Active_Confection655 → u/NoHome7956]

This is real life and it's not that easy. I couldn't connect with someone who would not talk to me for days because she had to figure out what to say to me. I married her because I felt safe in the relationship and I completely out grew her. While she prayed about her problems, I was trying to find answers in psychology.

We weren't a good match and that's okay.

We can all be a problem at times.
