Re: Where does one stay if your husband is out of town?
Based on your original post, I’m not sure what “demands” you mean or why you feel the explanations are necessary – perhaps this is part of a larger, problematic trend you’re noticing. But why can’t you just say:
“Thank you! Of course this is my home. You have always made sure I feel that way. I will be spending the next few days/weeks/etc at my parents’, but I will come back to check on you. And if there’s anything you need, anything I need to pick up or do, just let me know.” Make sure they have all the necessary contact info. Give them a call every few days. And are there household tasks you’re normally in charge of (bills? pickups/dropoffs? doc appointments? meals? etc) If so, just make sure you organize how these things will be taken care of while you’re away.
Try not to keep painting yourself as a victim or turning every statement into an offense. You’ll make your life much easier.
