NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

A frustrated husband attracted online sympathy after sharing that his parents-in-law “always want to go everywhere” with him and his wife, leaving him more like a driver and a travel planner.

The man explained in “Am I the hole of Reddit?” Forum that his wife’s parents join them almost every weekend and holidays. Whether it is a day trip to a park in New Jersey, a visit to Manhattan or even a getaway outside the state, his wife “sees nothing wrong” with his parents following.

“She says that she is their only child and if her parents do not go out with us, they do not go out,” wrote the husband, adding that he would not bother that they join on the occasion.

At one point, his wife even not invited his mother and told him that it was because her husband did not want them to join.

“Am I unreasonable to oppose what they come so often?” he asked in online publication.

“Only a child or not, your wife should not be solely responsible for her parents’ social life,” said someone else. “If they choose not to have friends or not go with friends they have, it’s not about you.”

Many criticized the wife for putting her husband in this position.

“You have a woman’s problem, not a Belle-family problem,” wrote a person.

Another agreed: “It’s a (a hole) to do that to you.”

“If you knew it and you have entered their family willingly and you now want to turn things around, I will have to say that (you are the hole hole),” said someone else.

Others have encouraged compromise and communication.

“You have to sit down your wife and have this conversation,” said a person. “It is not because she wants them to something that she can dictate what you do all the time as a couple.”

“Parents who want to spend time with their daughter, it’s good, your wife is cool with that, it’s good, you don’t want as much time with them, it’s good,” said someone else. “The best way to follow will likely involve compromises on both sides.”

Nari throwing, a wedding and family therapist approved from Tallahassee, Florida, told Fox News Digital that no one was necessarily at fault.

“They all have different boundaries and expectations,” said throwing away. “It is completely valid and reasonable for him to want to spend certain Saturdays and holidays exclusively with his wife.”

She advised the husband to set clear limits.

“To say,” Can we spend less time with your family? “is vague,” she said. “But to say:” I would like to take a solo vacation with you a year and a family vacation per year “is more specific.”

Or he could encourage his wife to do more things with his family without him, she added.

Throwing said that the woman should not feel responsible for her parents’ social life and that her parents should reassure her that she is healthy for her to spend time with her husband alone.

“Love and attentive parents must understand and respect the reasonable and healthy borders of their adult daughter, son -in -law and their marriage,” said throw away.
