[quote=Anonymous]Your MIL ran roughshod over you guys by booking a vacation for you after you'd already told her you needed to discuss it. That was very calculated on her part, the try to make you feel like you couldn't say no since she'd already put down the money. Your husband responded in a very emotionally healthy way by refusing to be manipulated like that, and heading off any guilt trips about how she's now going to be stuck paying for an extra room she can't afford by making it clear that booking the room without your consent was her choice, and hers alone. Based solely on the fact that she booked the space for you while knowing you were undecided, I can tell you quite definitively that any response from your husband that was more subtle or "polite" would have led to her arguing the point and trying to guilt-trip you further. I would strongly recommend you try some therapy to get more comfortable with healthy boundaries and how to assert them.[/quote]
