Misunderstanding
On our 10 years of marriage, there's only one misunderstanding that I can recall. A little impossible but true. We always compromise, talk things over and not going to bed with misunderstandings.
I have just given birth to RJ then. Because RJ is the first grandchild on Rhonnel's side, my PIL were on our house every weekend. They were so happy to be with their first "apo" every week. I like it at first but after few months it started to piss me off. I had to cook something special every week and made sure that the house is clean because I don't want to hear negative comments from my PIL especially my mother in-law. In short I was obliged to do things even I was not in the mood. There were times also that we need to go the mall but can not leave the house because they are coming. I talked to Rhonnel and explained but he didn't know how to tell my in-laws. So the visits every week continued until I was fed up.
One weekend, when my PIL were about to visit us again, I left the house and went to the mall. I strolled and had window shopping the whole day. I was away for long hours from RJ for the very first time. When I came home that night, Rhonnel was drunk with RJ sleeping on his lap. RJ is wearing her underwear with the designs on the back (which was supposed to be in front). Rhonnel cried upon seeing me and told me that he talked to his parents and explained to my PIL that we have our own life now and that we want to spend weekends with just the three of us.
Yeah, I was so mean. I didn't understand that my PIL just wanted to be with RJ. Is it the "post partum" or was I narrow-minded? I don't know. All I know is, that was one thing that I regretted. I asked apology to Rhonnel and went to my PIL's house and patched things up with them.
