Don't read animosity where amazement is indicated. I don't feel anything negative to you or about you; I'm just amazed that you haven't been able to communicate this stuff to your spouse on your own and your dad felt he had to step in. I'm sure it's nice to have family supporting you, but I'm old school in that marital issues ought to be dealt with between the spouses and keep parents out of it.... feels like you're ganging up on your spouse. Just my opinion - for that about about five bucks you can buy a coffee. And I didn't expect my opinion to be liked; on this board it seems that if you can't be agreeable with someone, no matter what, saying nothing is the best thing - which I will do regarding your marital issues from now on, even though I empathise with your troubles.
