OH and in-laws

belfastgirl23

If you're open about your foibles people accept them. I have several friends who often to fall asleep. One was famed for falling asleep at the start of films when we went to the cinema. My OH is known to slope off to bed and my BIL does the same thing. They get teased about it of course but people accept it. The best thing is to be open. After the first time or two you can just say, you know me I'm rubbish at late nights. And whilst you might get a bit of good natured ragging it will most likely be accepted.

Unless your OH's family are horrible people, it's worth making an effort to find a way to accept each other. Sometimes the best thing is to be authentic to yourself and just be honest. TBH if I was in a relative's house and their partner went on to bed I'd kind of enjoy the opportunity to catch up with them myself and unless the partner made a big deal about it I'd never think it was a hint or a weird thing...

It appears that the OP doesn't want/need any more advice as this is all that remains of her original post.
