Yes, my parents were really sick of each other Mom made no secret of it. When he was talking she would turn her hearing aide off ... “he never says anything I want to hear anyway”. He was nearly dead too, but would not admit it and get an aide. He would say the nastiest things about her to people whenever they were in public. She refused to go with him. She would deliberately put things well out of his reach, knowing he could not climb a step stool. Just plain spite. She had the habit of taking things and putting them away while he was still using them!

she was sick of having to cleanup after him and verify everything for fear he would burn the place down. He was sick of her hen-pecking.

I almost suggested nerf bats for them! It was brutal to be there trying to help them both. No point trying to talk civility into them....they couldn’t hear me anyway. Aaaarrrrggggghhhhh!

I just tried to referee, and prevent any actual harm.

What were they like when they were younger? Were they like this for many years or most of their marriage, or did it develop only within the least few years or so?
