Whatever you do, don't tell her you don't know what the big deal is. If nothing else, acknowledge that whatever's bothering her is important to her.


Did you honeymoon with her family too?...'cause that's just odd

Well said. That's one thing I learned a long time ago is that saying something like that is like telling the rain not to do it.

And no, our honeymoon was really the last "just the two of us" vacation we did. We had a small weekend in Vegas, but that's it. Whenever we do one of her family vacations, I always try to get a couple of days away just the two of us, but that's not the same when we get to spend a couple thousand dollars each year going where HER family wants to go.
