[quote=Anonymous]After our first Christmas living together, I told DH that he needed to handle presents/cards for his side of the family. That first Christmas, I did it all because I knew he wasn't and I'd get labeled the bad girlfriend. When I saw how little my efforts meant, I decided it wasn't worth it. Our second Christmas, I told him he could buy the presents or I'd make a donation in their name to charity. He chose to do the charity. The third Christmas, I told him he needed to make the donation or buy gifts. He did neither. We've now been married/living together 25 years. I'm SO very glad I set boundaries early on. Our lives have only gotten more complicated and most of the extra work has fallen to me. I'm glad I don't have the added burden of buying gifts for his family.[/quote]
