A group of gypsies moved in my yard and set up camp, they said that this land is where their ancestors are from and their souls are mated to this place. They are using my electricity, phones, water, car and eating my food. They also treat me poorly no matter how much I do for them (I am trying to be as loving as I can.) I clean up after them (since that is one of their complaints - one of my 180s :)) and do their laundry. I even give them foot rubs!

Recently my wife and kids are joining them to go away to the city on the weekends. I stay home and cook, clean and tidy their camp. When they return I talk to them about their trip but my wife just brushes me off and goes and talks to the leader.

We stopped ML after a couple weeks of this, I think my wife is tired and stressed. One of her LLs is gifts so I keep buying her more to bring more love to the table. She seems so different now. My kids don't like going with the gypsies but my wife likes it so what can I do?

My friends can't believe how patient and understanding I have become, I am working on what was my part of the problem.

My goals - keep my marriage, family and have a sex life again. I don't want to push my wife away. What do I do?

ps I once said I was going to call the cops on them but they said I was being controlling, threatening, and they are really our friends. They then told me they would take my wife and kids and I would only see them half of the time if I didn't get in line. In the mean time I am working on me. Help!

Where is the prescribed list of things to do?
180 list, Goal list, Act as if list, etc.
