Everybody knows what a mama's boy is except the mama's boys. The female equivalent is a daddy's girl.
Well if a wife is not understanding of the situation she really isn't worthy of the man she is married to and she would have problems finding another man to date or marry if the husband divorced her for being an unselfish person . She becomes a high risk to date based on her attitude and previous relationship. No guy would give her a chance

Why would a man marry a woman whose attitudes toward elder care are so different than his in the first place?

Yes, the woman you made up for this story sure is a rotten person!

Exactly. If the root cause is identified then the whole mess can be avoided

This isn't much. Why does she complain about not being able to go on vacation and what is your parents handicap?

If you're just gearing yourself up for divorce, just do it.

Why did the hypothetical guy marry her in the first place?

And we still don't know how much time eldercare is taking from the marriage. We don't know what else Mr. Hypothetical is doing with his Mrs. in their leisure time, to bond with her and build a solid relationship. We don't know anything about the quality of their relationship and how he treats her. Do they regularly spend quality time together? Are they good communicators? How long were they married before the eldercare began?

OP, you're strangely inarticulate about the situation. But it sounds like you've made up your mind, so why are you asking us?

It probably is real as in these times were dealing with people who are becoming more and more narcissistic. Lifes all about me,my thoughts and feelings, my happiness, my needs and the list goes on. It also could be the wife doesnt trust what her husband is telling her. Non the less they sound more like aquaintances who know nothing about one another or the families involved. Any reason why wife not involved in going to look in on your parents with you? My thoughts are your both young and immature or older than I thought and never grew up.
