Dear Queenie,
My wife’s mother always ran her life before we were married and she still picks out her clothes and chooses where we should live and plans all family occasions and calls her all the time about every little thing and has no regard for my schedule or what I would rather have or do.
Queenie, my wife takes it for granted, but I think it’s rude. How can I change things?—Angry husband
Dear Husband,
Lifelong habits are hard to change. You will have to talk this over with your wife and come to some agreement about what changes you want to make. (Professional counselling might help.)
At best it will be difficult and will take some time, and if your wife does not cooperate it will not happen at all.
