I just do not get along with my father-in-law (FIL). For many years, over slightest arguments he has always asked his daughter to separate from me. The man hates me deep down. I believe it might have to do with my parents coming from a very simple middle-class background. The FIL has brought up his daughter in loads of cash.
I am doing very well, have highest level of education from Ivy League schools . But the man is ex-colonel from military and is very controlling. He is extremely diplomatic and cunning too, I feel. But he loves his daughter
My wife is also very high maintenance (emotionally and financially). Even one complaint from her to my FIL and the bastard gets on my case. Eventually, we separated for one year, filed for a divorce and got back together again after withdrawing the divorce petition. However, this has resulted in extreme anger in my mind for my FIL, giving me chest-pains. I dont even talk to him. Now my wife is mad at me becos I didnt wish him on his BDay.

Buddy, buddy, why do you let him argue with you? The fact is your miss-up. Sorry to say it like that, but he is the father, he does care about his baby girl or at the very least feels more for her then you can. RESPECT that! Also if he gets upset you have the right to leave, or tell him this isn't the way this needs to be done. Espacially if he gets anger. Let him know you care about her enough that you don't want you relationship with him to exculate to a level were you guys can't talk like gentlemen. Also don't let yourself get anger with him, understand were he is coming from and see that maybe just maybe you'd be the same way. Emphasize with him! Also do better communicating with you wife, not about daddy, but about talk her problems out with you and not him....
