    It is really difficult as it is 100% culturally. Latino culture is different in the way generations of a family live. Adult children living with their parents is absolutly ok in this culture . It is not frowned upon. They cannot even imagine what could be wrong about it. It is seen as loving and good children if they live or visit their parents daily! And yes ...they have a LOOOOOT of boundary problems but do not see the cause of it. And often children do not want to break their parents hearts by "leaving" them. The strongest bond with a lot of Latinos is not between husband and wife but between a mother and her children. And they love it (most of the times). Stand your ground and make your wife choose. Hopefully it will be you! And if not, you would have never been her choice anyway. Good luck and may you find happiness either way!

    So much like Asian culture where I come from. I have my own house and don’t live with my mom (Dad had passed). Many of my friends and relatives are not supportive of this living arrangement and think I’m not a good daughter. There are many traditional things that I still treasure, but I feel strongly that as an adult, we all should have our own space and be independent. If his wife doesn’t want to move out, he needs to just do it and see if she will come along. And if she doesn’t, I would get a divorce for sure.

    This talk would’ve been 1,000% more helpful for the caller had John understood the cultural differences to explain the living arrangement and that the simplicity he sees in telling the wife to choose between them is an extremely detrimental ultimatum when considering their culture. For John he’s laughing like they’re just pesky kids who are so silly to not live in their own and how his wife should be able to easily make this choice and leave her mom but he doesn’t realize that Colombian culture commonly has all these people living together and thst leaving the mom outside of a few accepted reasons causes extreme conflict thanks to how mothers are seen in their culture. But not all Johns fault because this caller needed to tell him how the cultures differed rather than letting him provide advice when he clearly didn’t understand the rationale for he living scenario.

She chooses what they have for dinner, even if she doesn't cook it. She goes into whatever room she wants whenever she wants, etc. Now of course she very well may not exercise her "rights" but if it's their culturally it's tough.

    You also got understand Puerto Rican culture. Children are expected to help their parents. Dr. John needs to understand the culture before he gives out advice. I love you Dr. John but it took me a long time to understand my husband and how he had that drive to take care of his mother. He is from Mexico

    Not everyone adopts the culture they are raised in nor should they be expected to be. There is almost this expectation that because it’s someone’s culture you have to accept it blindly even if it makes you unhappy. These types of differences can be irreconcilable and lead to divorce.

Certainly keep working on getting their own place.

    Yeah Dr John is not understanding that the living arrangement isn’t a set up where the couple is “mooching” off his MIL in staying there the way it’s seen is culturally different than the US where it’s a normal thing to have an arrangement like this. His wife and MIL are Colombian and the culture of living with the parents and the childs relationship with their mother is polar opposite of the US. In Colombia children living with their parents into their 30s isn’t out of the norm and mom has a huge grip on her kids and there’s going to be issues tsking the child from the mom. When he spoke about then struggling he’s explaining that the culture of the living arrangement is largely because they struggle more there and living that way helps them all to support themselves. It’s completely different than here so Johns analysis of this is off because he’s viewing this as an American but not with the Colombian culture to grasp why this isn’t out of the norm. But the caller doesn’t make much effort to explain this to him. His wife being firm to not leave her mom is much different than US culture as well. A lot of the issue is that if you’re marrying someone you need to ensure you can work within that culture and make your choice accordingly. So when you’re looking to marry his wife you have to realistically consider that you’ll be living with your MIL for a decade or more and if you can do that.

    This was such a hard conversation to listen to. He didn't even bother asking what the conflicts are. He assumes that this is a household that doesn't respect a person who lives with their family because he doesn't respect people who live with their families. A multi-generational household where all of the adults contribute is not weird, and it's not a sign of dysfunction. It may not be working for this particular family, but reducing their family dynamic to a power play is gross and problematic. You can't claim to want to honor his culture and not even bother to find out what that culture is.

    Eh, I kind of disagree with this (and I'm a wife). It's two different types of "best-friendship". My husband has known his two best friends since childhood and they've been through a lot together. I don't feel like that invalidates the relationship between him and I, as we are also absolutely best friends. His close friends are part of our extended family at this point. And frankly I think it's healthier for men to maintain close male relationships after marriage, just as it's important for women to maintain close female relationships as well.
