written by Vic at on 11.08. at 15:38:55 Folks, your friend Vic is looking at a very, very, long, ugly, dry spell. My dear wife Marie got me a little "surprise" when I came home from work the other day. Without talking to me, she invited my mother-in-law to come LIVE WITH US!!! She has health problems, (on oxygen 24/7) but manages OK & isn't in any imminent danger or anything. She's a very sweet person, not at all like the in-law stereotype from sitcoms. That, of course, makes it all the harder, because if she was some evil witch, I'd have easy grounds to say no. My nightmare is that she'll still be perking along 20-25 years from now, and I'll be a senior citizen who spent his best remaining years playing "gracious host" 365 days a year. It makes me feel like a real jerk even to type that past sentence, but after raising Marie's difficult son Dan to honorable, responsible adulthood, then spending about 6 years as primary caregiver for my ailing, (now deceased) parents, when the hell do I get a few years of simple, free life with the woman I love? Marie is somehow under the impression that her Mom has maybe 6 months to live, but that's a gut feel she pulled out of thin air, not an opinion from any doctor. Aside from needing the oxygen (due to decades of smoking, but no longer), she seems pretty much fine to me. If her mom really couldn't manage on her own, I'd be first in line to ask her to move in, but if she's OK on her own, but just gets bored & lonely, you fix that with more visits & social activities, NOT co-habitation! As you might guess, having your m.i.l. in the next room puts quite the damper on fetish play, and even ordinary intimacy, for that matter. Marie gave up a lot to help me with my folks, so I can't really say no, but it just plain sucks, and I'm WAY depressed about the whole thing. I'm frankly quite pissed about Marie doing something so radical without even talking with me. Realistically, though, if she HAD discussed it with me first, the result would've been me trying to keep it from happening, Marie getting all hurt because she thinks her mom is dying, and m.i.l. living here anyway, but with Marie being pissed at me instead of being extra sweet to me like she is now. Thanks for letting me vent. If anybody has any words of great wisdom, I could sure use them.... Send me luck- Vic Answers to this message:
