Well, there's no doubt it has *some* influence, even if it's absurd. In my X's case, it almost amuses me, because he goes out of his way to ensure he is nothing like his dad, yet he is JUST like him in this particular way. If I pointed that out though, it would just infuriate him.
In terms of my X's parents, it's not a good situation. The limbo went on far, far too long, and now that it's no longer limbo, it's just one of those things where I think mentally no one can move on until there is a line drawn (i.e. divorce).
It's funny that you mention about bills, etc. I know I am getting mail where my ex lives, yet he never tells me about it or forwards it to me. That's irritating.
