You’re not asking for your parents’ permission. Don’t let them make it feel like you are. They can choose to sabotage the relationship they have with their grandson by being uncooperative and miserable or they can accept your decision to relocate your family. You are the immediate family unit now – your partner, yourself, and your child.
He's teaching you how to treat him and so far he's been successful ….you have learned that he is more important than you. That he has money for golf because he's saved what he could have spent on even token gifts for you on special occasions. He's been successful in that you are letting him get away with that behaviour. Are you buying gifts, cards, etc for him on his bday etc? If so, stop and save that $$ for when you decide you've had enough of him and his narcissistic behaviour. Personally I'd sit him down and talk honestly with him about his behaviour and why you are not going to take much more of it. Maybe he'll realize the error of his ways..if not, start salting money away for your exit strategy.
It's weird how you infantilize women. They're capable of agency
Are you really asking if his feelings (those of a spoiled 5 year old btw) are justified here? Bc seriously….no.

I had to scroll so long to see this comment, like is he still in the closet to some of his friends and he's not ready to talk about it to them?
He likely lies about a lot of things.
Holy cow , they talk about adultery like they are going to the store to buy milk.
