Is my parents' marriage falling apart?

[Anonymous]

My mom is an amazing, loving and caring mother and wife who was always there for me, my siblings and my father. My dad on the other hand has always been a lousy father and husband. There are even strong suspicions that he might have cheated once upon a time. Anyways, he is the type that is always complaining, whining and in a sh*tty mood. Deppression isn't problem he is just a very boring, uncaring man. He rarely ever hugged me and he never comforts my mom when she is emotionally distressed. He almost has no emotions. My mom can't take it anymore. I told her to see counselling but he doesn't want to. He is so egotistical and he thinks he is always right when he doesn't realize that she is a gem that has been putting up with him for decades. PLEASE don't insult anyone, they are my parents after all. So if you want to help, thanks but no insults please.

I guess I should have asked...what should I do about it? I never really get involved but I can't see them miserable knowing who is responsible for it. I always take in both sides of the situation before I judge something so I'm not biased...

I'm not sure what to tell you. There's not much you can do in these situations unfortunately. Both my dad and my boyfriend's dad are extremely difficult to deal with and there isn't much we can do about it. All we can do is hope for the best.

I think you should stay out of it and withhold judgement until you become a husband and a father.

Point being, you don't really know what your father is experiencing, you only think you do. Best to just stay out of it. It's not your marriage.
