I like to read your posts. You are in a good place emotionally and mentally and that makes me smile. You handled your w's upset about the change of plans so well. Funny how they can't roll with the punches when there is a change of plans. She did get over it and didn't let it ruin the rest of your trip so that is a positive.
An interesting comment that you fil made about how w's mom use to behave. You were only there for one day which was good. No telling how she would have reacted had you spent and entire night on that small cot! LOL One of you would have ended up sleeping on the floor and it probably wouldn't have been her.
Overall it sounds like it was a pretty good trip, not great but not a trip from he!! either. And how could your wife not laugh at your jokes? Don't worry, she'll be laughing at your jokes and more in due time.
Thanks for stopping by my thread. We share the same thoughts about staying connected and the best ways to do that. It doesn't work for everyone but it's nice to be able to compare notes with someone else than can "get away" with saying things that might send other mlcers into a tirade or off running. Cautiously and carefully dipping a toe in there now and then is a good way to test their progress.
BTW, I did an updo one day but it was on a day that he didn't stop by so I'm now perfecting the "do" so that it can't be copied by the ow!
