From an old guy. You have to decide if you are in it for the long haul. My in-laws are challenging, I do the stuff I am asked but I have outs that I can take so I am not a complete dick about doing them. Does it suck? Sometimes. Can I find spaces of fun? Yeah. Do I have to bail at times? Yeah, but my wife and I have 3 kids and have done a ton of stuff together and when she has my baggage to carry she does it. Life has obligations and partners carry them together. They aren’t your family so you can’t remember the great times so they value isn’t there. However if you love and value her, the happiness these activities give her should make you happy.

If none of that is true let her find someone who can be uncomfortable from time to time to have her be happy.

Obviously it’s going to depend on the setup, but doors aren’t a seal, they’re just blocking the water from getting out. If there’s still a lip at the bottom even with the door gone to keep stuff on the floor from flowing out of the shower, a curtain can work. My family had to take out the doors and put up a curtain in my mom’s shower to accommodate things like her shower chair and nursing aides after she was severely injured in a car accident. It worked just fine. Given how many different setups are out there, I’m sure there are circumstances it won’t work, but it is workable for at least some shower layouts.

Yeah, this happens constantly to glass side panels in the PC world. I've seen so many pictures of people's brand new computers with exploded tempered side panels. Once there is the tiniest of stress fractures, so much as tightening down a screw slightly too much can cause the glass to spontaneously explode.
