He's 53! Younger than both of my parents! So, not that old to be stuck in these weird ways.
A lot of it is chauvinism, plain and simple. He has this idea that a woman must go straight from her father's house to her husband's house, so the fact that I'm living over a thousand miles away from my parents, with no marriage plans in sight, means that my parents have to be paying my way. So, he thinks that my parents are extremely wealthy...they live in Florida so they have to be, right?
Also, to hear him talk to his wife is heartbreaking. In the past week, he's called her "worthless $#!^," and said that he "gave up on [her] a long time ago." For someone to sing the virtues of marriage, he seems to be unhappy in his.
