Mother-in-law demands to move into one-bedroom apartment with 30-year-old son, his wife lays down her boundaries: "I feel like I'm being emotionally blackmailed"

Living with roommates is rough! I'm really glad that I am out of that phase in my life. Although, I do live with a roommate of sorts: my partner. It's not quite the same as living with total strangers in my earlier twnties that I have to learn to get along with, but it comes with very similar challenges. We still find ourselves arguing over which chores each one of us is going to do that week or how high the laundry pile needs to be before someone does it. There are also occasionaly conflicts over guests in the home. However, because we like to think of ourselves as a team, tackling these little disputes is usually easy peasy with proper communication.

In our story today, a couple come into conflict over a possible new roommate in their small one-bedroom apartment. The new roomie in question would be our protagonist's mother-in-law. While she's going through a grieving process, and family helps family, our protagonist is not too keen to share such a tiny space for too long of a time.
