I would wait it out. Speak to your wife about going to a local library to study if she can't get piece. As another poster said, soon it will be spring and the days will be longer. You can get out more during the day and weekend.
By the way, cut up your credit cards. Don't go back into debt!0 -

We have been here before, it gets bad then good and we decide to stay etc etc.
I find it difficult to believe it's not six of one half a dozen of the other.
Humans have been co-existing with the in-laws across the world for centuries. TBH if your marriage is so fragile it won't survive a few months of good days and bad days then maybe you should not have children!
If you know the trigger is a long day at the office, head it off at the pass. If your wife needs to study you make sure dinner is ready, the kitchen is clean tidy, offer the in laws a cuppa the minute they walk in. You may end up doing more than your share of chores, so what? Look at the bigger picture, you are saving for your future together.Declutterbug-in-progress.⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️0 -

Thats abit harsh - I meant that we don't want to be getting at each other every day as a result of the way it is there, Also I didn't mention children.0
