I'm a little worried about this upcoming cruise. It's a week in close proximity to her family. They were surprised to learn that we sleep in separate rooms. They'll probably be even more surprised when I take less of her sh*t than usual.

I mentioned wanting to get a massage at some point...to which she started grumbling about spending her money and pissing her off. I pointed out that (1) we earn the EXACT same salary and anything she earns extra comes at the expense of her time away from the family and that (2) I haven't had any physical contact from a person over 3' tall in nearly as many years. Grumbling stopped and sulky silence commenced. I'm not sure how her parents would react if we had that exchange in front of them.
