Scenario

When caring for an aging parent puts strain on your marriage

My wife and I moved in with my elderly father last year to help take care of him and it's been harder on our marriage than either of us expected. She's doing most of the actual caregiving because she's home more but she's starting to resent that I get to leave for work while she deals with all his needs and moods.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The uneven weight of family obligation is revealing assumptions about sacrifice that you never explicitly discussed.
