Parents

My parents have been married for close to 50 years. I don't understand how they've been married for so long. They've tolerated each other, but I don't think they've ever been happy with each other.
Every once in a while my dad threatens to fix the car so that she can't go to work, or takes the keys, because she won't clean the house. He keeps doing it like she's going to one day realize that she needs to clean the house. Which this has been going on ever since I've been alive, and it still hasn't made her do anything different.
Sometimes I feel like the parent.
I wish they would either live in seperate places or just resolve themselves to being miserable with each other. So I could get some peace.
