His parents are here…

We moved in together… and living together more than a month, almost two months… it’s very nice – the best decision in my life (I think).

We are solving issues how they are coming along…

His parents are here… a month now… and (un)fortunately all issues we have are because of them. They have their style of life, and we want them to feel at home, but they turned our lives up-side-down…

Small things, nothing big, but when a lot of small things get into one place – it has tendency of becoming a big issue. You know…:

1. I enter the apt, and it smells on cooking (Indian spices, of course), and they are not opening windows/doors so that smell goes out, because they are feeling cold (and they don’t think that they can open for the air and putting one extra layer of clothes on them).

2. Apartment is soooo warm that I feel like I’m in a sauna or a desert or something like that… They don’t get it that this is not India… we have cold weather here and they need to adapt.

3. When I come home – Indian channels are on TV, and I don’t feel comfortable to change it to something understandable, because I don’t want to insult them.

Anyway… a lot of small thingys, but when everything is at the same place, I start loosing my patience. I don’t feel at home in my own apartment, because I have some guests in and I need to act/dress up according to them, because they are old people, and I’m young, and they are guests… and so and so and so…

Don’t get me wrong… they are nice people, but I can’t wait until they go home.

I don’t want to hurt him. I know that he is making a lot of effort in trying to please his parents, and to juggle between work, his parents and me… and this is very hard for him… I want to be supportive… just sometimes my feelings kinda blow up, and I say stupid things… I know that we are in this together, and everything is going to be OK… (just few more weeks and they will go back to India, and we can “heal our wounds”, and get back to our routine)… All this is making me choke from within and I hope that I will manage to keep myself together few more weeks and be as supportive as possible… I must achieve this… because of me, because of him, because of us.
