We have a great marriage when it comes to how to spend money, where to vacation, work/stay-at-home, kids, parenting, religion, sex, sharing housework, letting each other what they like(hobby, class, sport, buy something expensive).
But, when it comes to in-laws, it is total chaos. Luckily they live very far away. My husband just has to tell them stuff way ahead of time or just tell them what they don't need to know. Be it, vacation plans, a bonus, a new car, a course I am taking, any health problems I'm having. Or reasons for any investments we make.
And each time we meet them, I have to 'please be calm, we are just meeting them for a few days'. My husband just refuses to stand up for me, agrees their behaviour is wrong, but insists I take the high road.
I am dealing with it OK, just want to know is it just me or it happens to others too?
Anyone, else ,have it like this. A really, really GREAT marriage, except when it comes to in-laws?
