My husband grew up in a cheerful and loving family. Sadly, when his father was 57, his wife passed away. Of course, the loss was extremely hard for my father-in-law to bear. So, we decided to sell his flat, split the proceeds, and have him move in with us so he could get through his grief. It seemed like a sensible plan.
We assumed he would stay for about six months, then find a new place and settle down, but he didnt. He thoroughly enjoyed living with us. He never contributed a penny towards bills or grocery shopping. I cooked for him, washed his clothes, tidied his roomwhile he just went off to work. It was as if he was on a permanent holiday.
In the end, he lived with us for eleven years. Then he started giving us endless advice about what we should do and how we ought to do it. He established his own set of rules, and we just grew tired of it. Thats when we decided to buy him a house close to the city. Hes still healthy and in the prime of life, so hes more than capable of living on his own.
We bought him a house and made sure everything was set up so he could live there comfortably. Now, my father-in-law has begun claiming hes suffering from heart pains and other ailments, making up stories because he wants to stay with us. But I dont want that anymore. I want to finally unwind and spend time just with my immediate family. Im exhausted. What should I do?
