Re: Staying at a hotel instead of MIL’s house during visit?
This and the housing issue don’t have to overlap and obligations in marriage go two ways..
Ours seems to be the only culture which interprets ‘care for your parents’ as ‘live in their home forever’.. even if there isn’t enough space or privacy..
Also, when it comes to how women behave etc. many of the rules also apply to men (but again you’d never guess from culture).. If a husband has a problem with his wife being in a mixed environment or having friends of the opposite sex he should also stop doing those things himself (how many actually do?).. Most wives don’t expect things from their husbands which they don’t do themselves..
