Being Indian!

Me and husband have been married 3 half years. We purchased our home 9months of being married in the same town of his parents who live 3 min away and his sisters!
I moved house from my parents to live with him and moved jobs.
Coming from an Indian house hold, he wanted live by his parents who are in their 70s so we did. We would go round every day after work as he was so unsettled of moving. 3 years on when ttc I do not want fo go round and spend my Friday nights and weekend evenings round his parents. I am struggling to talk to him about it and how recently found out we have unexplained infertility and have been given the go ahead for ivf. Am I being unreasonable to not want to go round to his parents? Am I being unfair? It is now just expected and when I don't go round it's all raised eyebrows. Husband is so oblivious about and when I say want to out Friday night- I get the response I told mom and dad we going round.

Just tell him. He’s probably feeling guilty that he moved out. can you have a date night so he can tell his parents he’s taking you out every Friday or something? And then just expand from there. Do they guilt trip him a lot? What are you doing when you go around? Can you make it a 5 minute cup of tea then scarper or are you expected to eat there as well?

Look up FOG (fear obligation guilt) will probably sound familiar.

Bloody hell no wonder you haven’t conceived, you work then go to theirs and presumably have a house to run too. You must be exhausted.

That’s like permanent hospital visiting.
