<BR> My wife and I have been married for seven years. Here's the situation, my wife is a flight attendant for five year with Southwest airlines and so she is gone three to four days of the week. When she gets home or the day she is to arrive the phone starts to ring non-stop (it's her mother). She will call from the early mornings to late at night, sometime even three to four times at about 20-40min each time. I get upset when I get home at about 5:00 and my wife is on the phone with her mother and she stays on the phone for another fifteen minutes before she gets off. When she does get off and we get settled in for a nice evening to ourselves, wouldn't you know it her mother calls again. And my wife true to form visits with her for another 20 minutes. Now I don't get to see my wife that often about 3-4 hours each night on her days off if I am not in school and if she is not working overtime. And my wife doesn't seem to understand why I get so upset when she speaks to her mother so much I discussed this with my wife and she feels that there isn't anything wrong with her mother calling all the time. I spoke to her parents if at all possible could they only call on the weekends (you know visit once a month like normal families) where they can speak for however long they want to, but only call once or twice. Well that was a bad idea. I was told that I have no right in telling them how long and when to call their daughter. I feel that this is going to tear us apart but they don't see it from where I stand. I thought it would be a good idea if my wife went to visit them at home more often, well that only made it worst. Not only was she gone an extra three days but the night before and after the trip they talked even longer. And then to make it worst when we try to visit on the phone we were only able to talk for a few minutes before they pull her away saying its our time. All I ask them of is that they respect my wishes in that they only call once a week or at least call when I am not home. It also seems that I try to please them the best way I can, but the one thing that I ask for they are not willing to do. Am I wrong on this whole situation? Or is this normal?<BR> <BR> M.M.<BR>
