So, I've never had a problem with my hubs' family. We get along quite well, and I actually really like his parents. They share a lot of the same interests we do.

Lately, however, I find myself nitpicking where his mother is concerned. We're Facebook friends, and that's fine, but some days she logs in and goes on "like" sprees and comments on everything that is on my wall. I think that it should be fine that she does this, and I should not react negatively to it. They live thousands of kilometres away from us, so aside from phone/Skype, Facebook is really the only way they regularly communicate with us. And honestly, it even bugs my husband a little too...he groans everytime he sees she's online commenting and liking away at his page too. It's like she's trying too hard or something.

I suppose what I'm worried about is that my dislike of this stems from something deeper. When I get depressed, there isn't anything my hubs can do that can make me like him. I get severely irritated with anything he does, and I wonder if this isn't an extension of my behaviour with him.

I suppose what worries me most is that if it's an extension of my behaviour with him, it irritates me even when I'm not depressed. And I wonder if that means that my irritation with him will spread to the times I'm not depressed. I feel like I'm starting to resent him when I shouldn't.

You see, this does go much deeper than I thought. Ugh.
