Haven't done this in a while. Haven't had anything to complain about. *grins* I didn't spend Christmas with my family, for the first time in my life. My boyfriend didn't see why I should have to, just for traditions sake. So, I went to his sister's house for Christmas dinner, with him. I felt pressured into it, actually, and it was a little weird. Sure I've been fighting with my family, but to not have Christmas with them? I guess I made the right decision, though. Why pretend we get along just for the sake of a Christmas dinner? I'm starting to feel very torn, though. He won't make a move to reconcile things with my family, and my parents won't budge either. He says that he would never allow his family to talk badly about me, and if they ever said anything against me he would stop talking to them. He wonders why I won't do the same? So, I've stopped hanging around with them, stopped chatting to them the way I used to. But at the same time, I miss my family. What they did was wrong, but they've apologised to me. And to be honest, I don't really think it matters whether or not they like my boyfriend, so long as I like him, but he doesn't see it that way. So I've been putting them aside, I guess to keep him happy. Is that wrong? The difference, I guess, is that I would never want him to walk away from his mother, even if she didn't like me. But she does like me, and respect me, so I guess I don't understand how he feels. I've chosen him. But I can't help wondering if I made the right choice? It was the hardest thing I've ever done. How do I know if I'm right? |
