[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand how everyone’s response isn’t unanimous. Of course it’s unreasonable for the gf to say that evey Christmas Day should be spent with her family. That is so selfish. I don’t care if it’s a “special” holiday for her family. That’s not what married people who are creating a new family together do. OP says they plan to get married. They need to share holidays AND they need to leave the door open that once they have kids, they may decide to not travel at all for some holidays. [/quote]

I also don’t understand how everyone’s response isn’t unanimous.  The OP wants what they want — and isn’t budging.  The GF is willing to be very flexible— with the exception of one day that matters to her and to her family. They can start doing “what married people do” when they’re married. Right now they’re not married, or even engaged.  The OP hasn’t proposed to “share” anything, or offered any compromises at all here.  And not caring that one person has “special “ desires is “not what married people….do”  PP — not if they have a healthy marriage.

In all seriousness, this is the kind of black or white attitude that I assume predated many of the sexLess angry, soon to be divorced women on this forum. [/quote]

I’d agree. Along with lots of angry incels who just can’t understand why women won’t flock to them and do everything their way.

Again, what stands out to me is that the OP is offering nothing.  No flexibility, no understanding, no alternative plans, no real commitment. Good on the women who realize that they can do better.  [/quote]
