Hi, I have just found this site and have to say it's such a relief to find other people have the same/similar problems as me!!
I can't stand my husband's son!!! I am so sorry to say and I have tried to like him, but the more I know him the worst it gets. Basically he's a cocky show off with a terribe attitude, putting everyone down (my husband says I have to take it as a joke hahaha). He won't work as he's too good (and lazy) for that so until recently he lived off his parents and the government. Now he's studying what was supposed to be financed through some kind of scheme, but surprise surprise it still costs quite a bit as it's abroad and he can't get a job to earn at at least some extra cash. He's the best looking bloke on the planet, the king of fitness with bright future and we are all fat and ugly with boring jobs...get the message. Yesterday was my DH birthday and guess what...he made him a cup of tea...what a treat!!!No card or present (dream on!).And then after I cooked dinner and made cake, DH tells SS he could wash up and SS replies: I've washed my plate!!
Whenever he's around now I just try to avoid spending time with him as much as possible. But of course my husband doesn't understand this at all as his some is the best thing sliced bread and wants me to be more friendly etc.
All this stuff about SS really gets me and I also take it personally, which I probably shouldn't. It' totally damaging my marriage.I feel like I should be able to talk to DH about the fact his son's behaviour is ridiculous.I mean he's adult behaving and being treated like a child!! But of course he's the parent and no parent sees fault in their child right? Every conversation concerning SS ends with first sentence and 2 hours silence or argument.
Am I being stupid about this? Should I just suck it up, keep my mouth shut, smile politely and do my compulsory share of spending time with SS?
