I think we are in a rut

[MichelleLT]

While I understand their concern, don't let it dominate the weekend. Just say that he has been busy or you have not seen much of him and ask her if she'll drop it. Especially if you flat out say, I'd prefer not to talk about it, most people will leave it be out of politeness.

I think it's possible to separate yourself from the stitch w/o separating from your in-laws. Just enjoy the weekend and have fun, leave the R/M/H stuff at home and ask that they do the same.
