I also made sure I was close to my in laws when my H and I were having trouble. If I analyze subconscious motives, I could think of the following: 1. To make sure I have their support in case H does something drastic 2. To show H that we are one big happy family
I think you are both having some progress. About the phone thing, don't bring it up again. It will just bring up bad feelings. A friend once told me that if you make a big deal of something, then it will become a big deal. I have kept that in mind and whenever there is an issue between me and H, I think about that statement. Sometimes, when I just decide to bury it, it works for the best.
Happy New Year!
