How to get through it
The reality is that, at first, you’ll argue a lot about this. Your partner might not want to pay for the more expensive nurse or get the newer model of this medical accessory. This can make you feel that your partner is being selfish. But just remember that nobody is perfect and that your parent is your parent, and not your husband’s. You’re bound to more readily spend a majority of your and your partner’s savings on your own parent than he is. When his parents are old and sick, and the tables are turned, you’ll behave the same way your partner is now. The important thing at this time is not to judge people’s values based on the way they want to handle finances.
