[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is really an H problem. He should know better. There's no way this whole trip was planned without his knowledge and tacit agreement. Now that it's not going as planned, he's throwing OP under the bus by guilting her to please his family, when he knows he messed up.

I'd have a heart to heart with him and try to get him to understand how shitty it is to impose a week long vacation on her without her consent or even input. Then he deals with his family and she tunes them out. If he refuses to see the logic and continues with his family's line of assault, then it's time for some deep reflection on the marriage. Seriously, this is NOT what a partner does in a situation like this. You don't throw your spouse under the bus to save your own hide from your clamoring family.[/quote]

Agree.  This is DHs problem and he needs to give a mea culpa to his family and suck it up.[/quote]

NP. 100%. I don't know how OP's husband would think this is a good idea. Something seems very off here. Or why OP's in-laws would want to spend a week somewhere for HER birthday when it must be obvious that there is a strained relationship since OP says she can't stand them.[/quote]
