There are some men so desperate for a wife that they lie down and let that woman walk all over them. Especially when she brings her adult son to live with her and her new husband. Very tacky. Yep Tom, no doubt she has full rein over your friend and can do whatever she wants and he wont say a thing to stop her. I do feel sorry for men that are so whipped they cant stand up for themselves. He wont be happy with that for long. He may be too proud to tell you that. I feel bad for him. He sounds like a good man who deserves better.
