BIL and SIL don't seem to have a very good relationship - they've been married 5 years, have a 2yo and SIL does everything for him and resents that BIL never helps. But she...

insists on everything being done her way and criticizes him when he helps. He's incredibly lazy and has pretty much checked out, says if she wants to do it her way then that's her decision. DH and FIL are very concerned, they think they're on the road to divorce. FIL wants to discuss with BIL and suggest counselling. BIL is very insecure and defensive, this isn't going to end well is it? I can't imagine him admitting there's a problem until SIL presents him with divorce papers then it will be too late.

- op - this is what I think but FIL is very concerned. We all are, this really sucks for their 2yo. At least they don't seem to be planning on more kids anytime soon. 2-23-2011 10:49am
