今天太忙,少说几句。
1. 楼主与公婆之间的关系,处得好是缘份,处得一般是本份,很难改变也无法强求。在明知难以处好的情况下非要在一个屋檐下长期生活,必定造成下一步的问题,所以分开住是好主意,关键是怎么分比较合适。窃以为在老人刚来的时候,先和他们一起住,帮助他们熟悉这里的环境和生活方式,再分开。给他们在你家附近单卖个小房子是个很好的选择,你老公和公婆都应该更容易接受。
2. 楼主与老公的关系,始终是这个连环套里的核心。解决矛盾的钥匙,掌握在老公手里。他要是能想明白自己小家庭和大家庭之间的关系,更理解和尊重妻子的感受,处理问题更艺术一点,这个家庭的持续和睦是没有多大问题的。
3. 劝楼主不要老往“不过了”的方向上想。因为跟父母的矛盾而离婚的,朋友中也见过,对大家都是伤害。据说离婚对人的伤害,仅次于死亡。与其半死,还不如想想别的解决办法,排遣郁闷的方法多呢,是不是?你家的情况根本没那么糟糕,何必呢?

另外,楼上关于房产分割的讨论,感觉好像有一些误解。查了一下,法律上对于婚内共同住房,即Matrimonial Home (which means where married spouses ordinarily reside together), 有其特殊的规定。关心的可以读一下下文。

No Deduction for Equity in Matrimonial Home in Calculation of Division of Matrimonial Assets
In the normal course, when married spouses separate, in order to determine the appropriate division of assets on marriage breakdown we would calculate the net value of each parties' assets that they came into the marriage with (all assets minus all debts on the date of marriage). We would then calculate for each spouse their respective net assets owned on the date of separation (all assets minus all debts on the date of separation), in order to determine each spouse's net increase of wealth during the marriage. The spouse who has the higher net increase would have to make a payment to the other spouse of 1/2 the difference between their respective net increases in wealth accumulated over the marriage.
The Ontario Family Law Act creates an exception for the matrimonial home however.
Notwithstanding that one spouse may have owned the matrimonial home on the date of marriage in sole tenancy, and brought that asset into the marriage, he or she does not get to include the value of that asset as something he or she owned on the date of marriage. The full value of the home at the time of separation is included in his or her calculation of net assets on the date of separation.
Simply put, you do not get a financial credit on marriage breakdown for having brought the matrimonial home into the marriage.
It must be noted that for this exception to apply, the same home must still be the matrimonial home at the time of separation.
If the original home was sold and a new home moved into and was the matrimonial home at the time of separation the spouse who brought the original home into the marriage would be allowed to include the value of the original matrimonial home in calculating his or her assets owned on the date of marriage. As a corollary to this, in the normal course, any money or money's worth that was gifted to a spouse from a third party (say parents or an inheritance from that rich uncle who lives in Europe) is excluded from the calculation of a spouse's net assets owned on the date of separation. However, if that inherited or gifted money is put into the matrimonial home, i.e to pay down the mortgage, build a pool or renovate, the exclusion is lost.
These types of issues can have a very large impact on a spouse's financial situation at the time of separation. If you are contemplating marriage and already own a home, you should consider getting some legal advice on this issue to determine whether you wish to take some steps to protect the value of that asset in the event of a marriage breakdown.
