OMG Job I missed your post until today! Haha wow I'm so pissed at myself!!!
But thank you for those words. The inlaws definitely want to know and want to help. That's who they are as people. But they also know no boundaries. W just doesn't want to tell them anything right now. She's made that clear to me. I may remind FIL of that if he brings anything up again b/c the pressure doesn't work on this lady. W and her family's boundaries have always been more of an "open borders" policy, unless one of the kids was doing something bad in which case they'd hide it.
FIL asked me on the phone "I guess you guys are getting along better now?". I was thinking dude, I didn't run her off the last 4 times she came home. But they probably want to blame me for everything anyways, oh well.
Ground rules are: no OM/OW in our lives. Commitment to each other. Honesty and openness. MC. Dates and fun.
We went to get pizza the other night and saw the new Halloween movie. Had a dinner date last weekend. Both were fun. I went shopping with her (holy "Acts of Service" love language). No kissing or sex, no ILY's, but we hold each other in bed most nights and worked on some stuff at the house.

It is not things that bother us, but the stories we tell ourselves about things.
