AITA for not wanting to go on a trip with my BF’s family?
Basically my BF (31M) and his family go on massive trips at Christmas time usually lasting 2 weeks. My (27F) family loves to spend time together over Christmas time and it is one of the only times I really get to spend with them.
Last year I went on a trip with them and I found it very difficult. It felt like I was the one compromising and missing out on my family’s activities. His family’s argument is that I can “visit them any other time of year”. Yet I find it unreasonable that they get to block off 2 weeks every Christmas to go on a trip.
This year, I told my partner that I’m not going. He is supportive of me, and thinks I should spend time with my family. His family however thinks that I’m being unreasonable. That I’m unwilling to be flexible around Christmas time and I could easily see my family on December 15th instead.
Am I the AH here in thinking they’re being unreasonable? I went last year, and I felt that I was compromising there. I don’t want to go on big family trips every year, but they don’t understand that I want to see my family and spend time with them too.
AITA?
