If I do will you reconsider throwing in the towel?

Thank you so much for this, job. It is so nice to hear these words of validation (bolded by me above) from someone with all the experience and knowledge you possess on the entire MLC topic.
My wife and I have already talked about how this year (with SIL hosting Thanksgiving) will be "different", but still fine. SIL is not the Martha Stewart that my wife and sister are.

Thank you, daring. It's been a very slow change, and very hard to sense when you're as close as I am. But after looking over some of my posts here from a year ago, I'm convinced there is an acceptance of sorts, and a warming up in her heart. It's been quite a while since I've heard about "not caring if I die".
We've got a ways to go, and it all could blow up and be tossed away, but I am so glad I haven't yet given up on us.

Funny story. Last night my wife was in the kitchen cooking and cleaning for hours. (made us a really nice dinner) I noticed the room looked a little hazy and asked her if she noticed it too. She said she did. So I opened a couple of windows, but it made no difference.
Then, the light bulb went off in my head. It had been raining all day, and we had two humidifiers going in the house. When I checked, the humidity in the house was at 86%! When I told W of my discovery she said "maybe you better turn off the humidifiers before it starts raining in here!"
M: A really long time. Crisis: 5 years. She's still worth it.
