Hi B,
I can only imagine what you are going through.... living with my in-laws would drive me insane within 24 hours.... the good thing is that no one but my in-laws can fit in the house (too much Avon ****... not to mention the newspapers from the 70s).
The good thing is that when you return home you will have to visit and STAY over at friends and family (the people that love you and will do anything for you). I do definitely think that you will have to arrange other living arrangements (as soon as you guys get settled... start your carrers and move out).
Don't you hate that the honeymoon phase is over (you're not alone on that one). I thought it was suppose to last forever.
All kidding aside, your fears are real and I wish I could say that you are just worrying for nothing. However, marriage should only be between two humans and God, no other interference. Living with your in-laws only complicates things.
Can you compromise? Can you promise your husband to stop hassling him about it until you guys get established? Can you arrange with him now that you will move out as soon as you guys can afford to?
I hate to say it but I do think that you guys will have to seek counselling together when you get back. I know it is not an easy thing for husbands (I have been told by my own husband that MEN don't like counselling).
Sweety, hang in there. There is no point in you worrying about what is to come. You knew that it was coming. Please work on a compromise with your husband... a little give and take. Would he consider staying at your parents for a while? Can you explain to him that you need your mom's help.
I have to go.... talk to you really soon.
Hang in there. I will pray for both of us.
