Reasons that the husband cannot stop

I hope that one day my wife will realize that life is not just about herself, but also about the people around her.

In family life, every relationship has its own ups and downs. In particular, the relationship between father-in-law and daughter-in-law often contains many conflicts and misunderstandings.

I would like to share my thoughts on this issue, especially in the context of an old and sick father-in-law, while the daughter-in-law is lazy and reluctant to take care of the elderly.

My father is almost 80 years old. He has many health problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure and is often hospitalized. Every time he does, I feel worried.

I know my father needs care and attention, but my wife doesn't think so. There are days when I'm busy with work, I ask her to take care of my father, but she always shakes her head or gives reasons that are hard to accept.

One time, my father had a bad cold. I was busy with a meeting at work and couldn't take time off, so I asked my wife to stay home and take care of him. But my wife said, "I've made a date with my friends. You have to take care of your father."

Hearing this, I was extremely angry with my wife. I could not understand why she could be indifferent to my father's illness. In the end, I had to hire an hourly maid to help take care of my father.

Another time, when I came home after a tiring day at work and saw my father sitting alone on the sofa, I felt sorry for him. He told me that he felt lonely and wanted someone to sit next to him and talk to him.

I sat down next to my father and asked my wife to make us a pot of tea. But she shouted out that she was watching a movie, right at the climax, so she couldn't do it.

At this point, I don't understand my wife's thinking anymore. Is she looking down on her husband's family? She doesn't respect me, so she doesn't respect my biological father.

I have talked to my wife about this issue many times. I told her that he is my father, if she loves me and accepts to marry me, she also has the responsibility to take care of her father-in-law. If her father-in-law gets sick in the future, I will also be the one responsible for taking care of him.

But his wife said: "My brother takes care of my father, it's not your turn. You take care of your father yourself, don't force me."

I am really disappointed but I don't want my family to be broken up because of these unnecessary conflicts. I am still looking for a way to mend the relationship between my father and my wife.

I hope that one day my wife will realize that life is not only about ourselves but also about sharing and loving with the people around us, especially those who have dedicated their lives to taking care of us.
