How to you escape an awkward situation when you’re in a remote area?

Earbuds

My instant reaction would be to tell them I was going to pitch the whole situation to a writer for a sit com..😷

Yes, do speak up. It will do one of two things for you. Either it will make you feel good or make you feel bad, but atleast they will know where you are coming from and just maybe they will change the subject and try making you feel more comfortable. Um, na, probably not. Just tell them all to shut up. 😅

Smoke bomb

That's a sticky one for sure. It might work... for a minute, but then you would be the target. I'd probably just get the hubs to pack up and get the hell out of there.

Fake an illness. Go for long hikes. Remove yourself before you loose your cool.

Take the dog for a walk?🤷‍♂️

I'd go for walks

Run into the forest

Make up another person.
No really, read The Importance of Being Earnest. Changed my life.

Hike a lot 😅

Ooh I wanna go to a cottage for the weekend

I'd just slip out the back and take off in the car, pack up all my things and get a hotel room until he grows a spine.
