They live out in the middle of nowhere on a farm.

I honestly don't see them that much, that's part of the reason it's pointless for me to be there.

I sleep in Saturday morning because we usually get in at 1 or 2 AM, by then her dad is usually gone to town to pick something up or working around the farm.

She kind of visits with her mom and younger sister or whatever, sometimes that evening they'll all come in and we'll talk a little.

Then Sunday, we get up go to church, come home, have lunch, then we leave.

This is just bizarre to me. Did your wife travel back home on the weekends when she was in college so the habit just stuck or something?

I get that some younger adults head to their parents' house on weekends and still have their old room and all that jazz because maybe they don't have a lot going on in their personal life, but for a married spouse to do this and then expect their spouse to also do it is a new one for me.

Even if I wanted to go spend weekends at my parents' house like I still lived there, we have so much other social things going on at home that we'd miss doing that as often as y'all are.
