Struggling today. In-laws are making it tough to be myself, GAL, or db. I no longer have a routine and need to share a bathroom with 4 adults. Add to that constant comments about temperature, parenting styles, driving tips, and finances....

I'm not sure why this stuff didn't bother me in the past, because pretty sure they've always been like this (mainly my mil). Now I'm a powder keg trying my best not to go off. Joy.

Tried sitting next to my wife while all of us watched a movie and got pissed by her nonverbals (leaning away, not initiating contact, generally ignoring me). I ended up taking off my wedding ring and tried getting used to feel. Yes, I was in that dark of a mental place. I didn't do it to get a reaction, but I noticed a panicked look in my wife's eyes when she first noticed. I doubt it means much, but I still noticed.
