Feeling like a fifth wheel?

Greetings all,

My wife's parents are in town visiting for a few days, and I keep feeling like a fifth wheel. My wife insists that she wants me to go along with them when they go places, but I feel uncomfortable, and sometimes I feel like her parents would prefer to just be alone with my wife, though admitedly they have never been anything but courteous to me. Is there anything I can do that would make me feel more welcomed, or something that might help me to want to tag along. Thanks for any help.

    well I think it may be you this time. If the parents have never made you feel like that then just relax and have a good time. The more you act like you want to be there the more every1 will enjoy having you. Every1 right now can probably feel that anxiety from you....Or if it is something you really don't want to do...pretend to be ill and insist on your wife going without you
