[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but I need a break from family visits." Simple. Unless your DH makes it an issue.[/quote] I don’t think he will make it an issue, but I think he will see it as a bonus for me (I can sneak off while they are here) and will not want to disappoint his parents. [/quote] This is your problem right here. Everyone is *thinking* they know what the other person wants and trying to manage. Instead, be proactive and direct. If you say nothing, I bet my paycheck your husband will go ahead and make plans with his parents to come over this week. He’ll pat himself on the back thinking he’s doing you a big favor. Today, before the sun goes down, speak directly with your spouse. Many here have already offered the language to use. None of it matters unless you’re proactive. [/quote]
