I wanted to gain some external views and advice on a situation that I am facing. I am married for 4 years now. We live abroad, both are well educated and are working. Wife is pregnant with our first child.
Since our marriage, my wife has been complaining about my parents, picking fights on small things and blocking any conversation with my parents. She has been very critical about my job and my salary and complaining about money matter.
These days she constantly abuses me and my parents. She has declared that parents should not be allowed to visit us abroad. Not allowing me to speak to them either. She has declared that she will not allow parents to see our child.
I am choosing not to respond since doing so escalates the quarrel and never turns into a rationale discussion. The abuse and criticism is affecting my personal and professional life.
I have communicated the issues to in-laws and they support wife' s behavior and abusive nature.
How would you recommend to deal with the situation? What are the ways to bring parents and wife closer? How to ensure the family remains in harmony?
