Last year his parents visited us (from overseas) and stayed 6weeks in our apartment. I found this very stressful, cramped and intrusive but was prepared to give it a go as DH wanted it so much. I've since told him it didn't work- they seemed unhappy and tense, I was on edge all the time and hated sharing my space. I like some privacy at home, without personal space I feel angry and trapped.
Now they want us to go stay with them for a few weeks. They have a 3-bed apartment so spare bedrooms, but one bathroom. I can't face it! I don't want to stay in their home.
I've told DH I'm happy for us to visit his parents in their home country but only if we rent a holiday apartment or get a hotel nearby. I'm happy to meet them everyday for trips and spend lots of time at their place. He's very upset as the main reason for visiting is to 'spend time as a family'. I've said he can spend as much time as he wants at their place, but I want somewhere to escape to at night, and our own bathroom.
He says I'm refusing to compromise but I feel I am compromising and he's trying to lay down the law!
