Is it asking too much for my SO to want to spend time with me without bitching about the town it is in?
I just finished skyping with him and I told him that I wasn't guaranteed Christmas off. I'd put in a request but since I haven't been working so much I wasn't sure I'd get first dibs. I asked if that was the case if we could go up to his parents like the week after and he replied with 'whats the point?' He basically said that he wants to see his family and and he'd stay with me at christmas but wouldn't be happy about being in Watford. He said its not my fault if that happens but blah blah and still will end up making me feel guilty about it anyway.
We had the same disagreement last year about his family. I get Christmas is about family and shit, I'm not trying to take that away from him but if I fucking have to work how hard is it to put on a happy face and say its okay cause I'm spending it with you.
He was a dick when we hung up and I don't usually act all girly shit but I think this time I'll let him contact me first, let see how that plays out.
I'm having to move Thanksgiving (my fav holiday) from 22 to 24 since I'm working. I don't give a shit. As long as I get a giant dinner with booze and family I'm all set. Honestly, I was kind of bummed about it at first. But then I realized the date doesn't matter.
I really think he should be more understanding.
You're not going to spend Christmas with your family at all, so he should really be fine with seeing his family like a week later.
