By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

So now you have a decision. MIL needs to be in a Skilled Nursing facility. You should not give up what u like to care for her and wife can't. You need a sit down with wife and lay ur cards on the table. Mom goes into a home and wife stops talking to you like you don't have a brain in your head. You have put up with the abuse long enough. If she wants you to care for her, then she needs to start respecting you. She must have some good traits or u wouldn't be married to her this long. And tell her the option is you separate. That you can't see doing this for10 more years.
If she gets mad, let her. Tell her she needs to consider choices because this situation can only get worse.
If she expects you to spend the rest of your life caring for her and her RA, along with her mother who's bedridden which is a HUGE undertaking in and of itself, then the least she can do is STOP the abuse immediately. Otherwise, you can choose to end this marriage or at least move to a nice hotel for a few weeks to relax and let your wife see and FEEL what it's like not to have you at her beck and call 24/7.
It's time to put your foot down today and say ENOUGH. You don't deserve to be bullied for one more minute. I don't give a flying fig WHAT the 'name' of this verbal abuse is...........it's wrong on all levels. A wife's job is to love her husband and to treat him like a partner and like a best friend. If she can't or won't do that, then she needs counseling, medication and/or a good psychiatrist unless she'd like to be served with divorce papers. You have your OWN retirement years ahead of you. What do you want your future to look like?
You have rights as a husband, as a caregiver and as a human being. Please realize that and stop being hurt and sad and start getting ANGRY now.
I gather that you are in this for the long haul since you don’t mention wanting to leave. I would seek out a therapist to learn coping skills or to discuss your concerns should you desire to leave at a future date.
What do you think she would do if you said to her that her behavior was unacceptable?
She certainly has mental and physical health issues. I am going to guess that your wife isn’t interested in seeing a therapist for her outlook on life. I will bet that she blames everyone else for her problems. I am quite sure that she believes that nothing is ever her fault.
I can’t imagine being a person who is carrying the heavy burden of always having to be right. I suppose people like this, have a serious need to have their ego stroked. Bullies are some of the most insecure people.
Bullies will never show common courtesy to others. Of course, you deserve more than the minimum, you deserve the maximum amount of respect and love. You are her husband!
Wishing you peace during this difficult period in your life.
Have you ever challenged this incredibly bad, cruel habit of hers? - because it is habitual, and it sounds as if she needs to hear herself. She may herself be unaware of her own verbal strength.
What about her mother, how does her mother generally address those closest to her?
