Letter 1: pretty sad. Would be different if he attempted to romance his wife once in a while with a vacation or romantic evening, but is basically spending all their money on the on hoarding parts cars.
Letter 2: yes, the daughter is definitely waiting for you to die. Loaning money to family is a disaster... Either full gift or no-go. Families aren’t banks.

Nineteen years ago, my husband loaned one of my daughters and her husband a large sum of money so they could buy a house and pay off bills and judgments.

Well that’s your problem right there.

The first few sentences I was like, “Yea, that kind of comes with the territory”
It took a hard left turn with the 4 parts Corvettes and then completely fell apart with the no vacation because “we can’t afford it ”

Yeah, the “ no vacation because we can’t afford it” bit is where Mrs. Snuze would be filing papers. And lord knows that woman puts up with a lot.

I wonder if he realizes that he just doesn’t like his wife. My father is going through this right now. He retired April 1, 2019, and he really can’t stand his wife. He has been told by everyone for years that she’s a giant bitch, but he didn’t want to see it. Now he does and he is so miserable. He will spend hours outside of the house doing random things just because he doesn’t want to be in the same house as her. He should really get a divorce, but for some reason he doesn’t.

Abby assumes his obsession with cars comes from trying to avoid his wife. Typical of Abby to assume facts not in evidence. Also, 80% of the time, her solution to seek counseling. This is what comes of giving someone with zero qualifications an advice column.

Yeah, I was expecting to go, “Dear Widow: Sod off.” Then I read about the parts cars vs. vacations thing.
I’m all for growing a pair and telling your significant other to let you enjoy your own hobbies. You shouldn’t let someone else dictate what you can and can’t enjoy. I tend to declare people “banned from cars” if they, say, scrap a car because their wife is mad at it. At the same time, though, a relationship is built on some kind of togetherness. Occasional compromise. Balance.
This is all to say “don’t be a dick.” If you’re not spending time with your significant other, why are you even there? The generation of “the ol’ ball and chain, am I right?” baffles me.

My wife and I have a healthy respect for one another and each others hobbies and choice of free time. As we’ve been together longer we’ve even gotten looser on financials. We used to check in with one another over stuff that was $5 0, but thats when money was tight. Now that were more secure its like “Whatever you want, just make sure we can pay the mortgage!” We laugh about it, but we also trust that neither of us is going to tank everything we’ve built.
We also rarely set hard boundaries, but we do talk about stuff a lot and try to think things through. I am pretty close to buying another Volvo https://oppositelock.kinja.com/so-just-how-bad-of-an-idea-is-this-1842498549 and she’s like “O kay, you can get it if you want but what are you gonna do with your 850?” She isn't going to make me sell it but realistically 4 cars would be very hard given our living situation. I wasnt planning on keeping it anyways, so Im going to sell it because Id prefer the 240 over the 850.

Yeah. Trust is key! If you don’t trust each other, that sorta makes the whole relationship thing hard.

I agree, but it’s always amazing to me the sorts of shaky foundations people will try to build a relationship off of.
