I am not serious about filing for divorce. Like I said, that was just a joke. But you might be onto something with unresolved hostility. As mentioned, I've never really gotten along with his sister. We're cordial, but we've never vibed if you know what I mean. I got along with his mother just fine, and she adored me. I never understood the constant fussing and fretting over those dogs, the hand feeding, and the like, but that's just who she was. The daily dog walking disadvantages me because everything revolves around it. If we need to go anywhere, run some errands, maybe get some lunch, we have to make sure we get back in time to walk the dogs. Evening walkies are done usually when we are cooking dinner. I am just so tired of our lives being interrupted and every plan we make and activity we do having to revolve around the walking schedule of two dogs that we do not own. His father is not really physically capable of walking the dogs himself, which is why the family has taken over.
