| What should I do if we're living with his parents.
What should I do if we are financially dependent on his parents because my hubby can't find a decent job in this economy (it's been 4 years since he hasn't had a job he is comfortable with). So he ended up working for the family business (restaurant x2). His father is a multi millionare yet his pay is a mere couple of hundred dollars a week. His father pays for our cars and insurance and we pay for our bills. We live in the same house with his parents, sister, and grandmother. I have always wanted to be out on our own and he always uses the job situation as an excuse to not get out. I also suggested many times he should ask his father for a raise so we can get a small apt and be on our own. It's been over a year since I suggested this and he still cant find the nerve to ask. I don't get along with his family. They call me nasty names for no reason. I am asian and they are italian. They call me a gold digger behind my back and to my face and my hubby doesn't do anything to stop them or confront them. He just tells me to ignore them. We have two sons, 18 months and 3. They are ok with the living conditions but I can no longer cope. We all share a small bedroom while his sister has a master suite (4 times the size of ours) and parents the same. I don't get treated the same way as other family members or friends. I come from a decent family that lives in an upper middle class neighborhood and the mortage is completely paid off. His family doesn't even own a piece of property in full title (20 yr mortage to go on multi million house). So why am I the goldigger? I'm thinking about seperation to see if he is willing to change, but I simply can't bear it anymore and nothing has changed since we got married and started living here with his controlling family. They ignore the fact that I am 30, the mother of their grandchildren (they say and do as they please, ice cream for breakfast etc). I'm losing it and can only dream of escaping what feels like a prison holding my self esteem and everything else I knew before down under. What should I do?
