[quote=Anonymous]Your DH has gotten to spend Thanksgiving with his family every year. This is one year where you’d like to do something different. Your Friendsgiving weekend sounds amazing. Being with people who love you, get you, and make you feel lifted up is definitely something worth doing. His parents’ reaction is their problem. They are allowed to be disappointed. But ultimately that’s their problem. Explain to DH that this means a lot to you and you don’t want to appease the ILs at your own expense every year. There needs to be compromise. He also should understand that it can be lonely when you’ve lost your parents and are always with someone else’s parents. These friends are like your own (substitute) family. If you spend Christmas with the ILs, focus them on that. Otherwise focus them on whenever you’ll see them next. Report back, OP![/quote]
