As I began reading your post, I thought that all wives give their husbands the gears once in a while regarding stuff like this. Then you mentionned that W had arguments with several people (same as my sitch), followed by the appearance issue (same as my sitch). The only thing I am saying is do not underestimate your gut feeling. We have been at his for longer than i would like to admit and part of the process is to have the antenae way up. I am not really sure about bringing D7 along with you to Barcelona. That changes the whole dynamic of the vacation. However, if you are ok. with it..... Keep the faith.....like rthur mentions above, if this works out you will have earned it my friend.
