Yes, Acts of Service is most definitely H's primary LL.

Yes! MIL has always been passive aggressive. However, she sees herself as a peace keeper. The problem is that both MIL and FIL have never been good communicators. They never openly discuss issues. For example; when H's affair was disclosed communication between them and H was stopped for months. In fact, I was the one who urged them to rectify the situation.

You're right about MIL. I can't afford to have her off-side, especially now that she has given me the advice not to be in contact with H. Luckily she lives interstate.

Couple of other interesting things;
H invited S and D for Christmas. As the kids will be with my family for lunch H gave them a choice of being with him Christmas Eve to stay overnight or Christmas Day for dinner and again to stay overnight. The kids opted for option 2. H usually has lunch with ow and stays with her Christmas night.

H invited D to go interstate to visit his parents in Feb for a weekend. Thought that was interesting given that he said he would be moving away after new year.

Something else but I can't remember what it was.......... I'll hit submit and then remember!
