Asking Eric: My wife's father and her life coach have ruined our marriage
"I doubt legal action would get you the results you want. You and your wife were in vulnerable positions. What you needed was control over your own destiny. At this point, that control starts with choosing acceptance. If your wife is not open to online counseling or reconciliation with you, then you have to accept that the relationship has ended and give her the space she's asking for."
"Every time I came close to finding work my FIL raised the bar for what he expected of me. I became angry about being forcibly separated from my wife as we loved each other very much and neither of us wanted to be apart, but she then broke up with me (I assume under the direction of the life coach). Currently I am working and living with my parents back in Europe."
A man moved from Europe to the U.S. to marry his wife and relied on his father-in-law's financial support until work authorization arrived. The wife experienced a severe mental health crisis and a life coach was hired to help stabilize the household. The father-in-law imposed conditions that forced separation, repeatedly raised expectations, and threatened financial cutoff, after which the wife ended the relationship. The man returned to Europe, found work, and considered legal action but was advised that litigation is unlikely to help. Acceptance, giving the wife space, and regaining control by acting independently are recommended paths forward.
