As you may or may not know we live with MIL. I have tried to square this in my head in all sorts of ways: it's the most cost effective way to live right now, it's what most families outside the western world do, it's only temporary til we build a (very small) wing of our own on the house, it's no hardship so just belt up and thank your lucky stars you have a roof over your head.
But ...it has dawned on me that DH has reverted to the emotional repetoire of a 12 year old since we have been here as far as our relationship is concerend and cultural norms aside, is it or is it not somewhat ewwwwwwwwwwwww to be content to sleep in a room adjacent to your mother's with your wife, not that there is ever anything other than sleeping going on in it.

it has just dawned on me that living with MIL at dh's request, especially sleeping in the bedroom next to hers is sick.
