So I've spent a lot of my 20s traveling and soul-searching and nomading around. So before we met, my boyfriend spent over a decade working a job where he traveled about 90% of the time. And he worked really hard with the goal for early retirement. And so right before we met, he decided he's done traveling.

He wants to settle down and enjoy the home that he's worked really hard for and be close to his family in Florida where he's from. And after we met, he got the news that he didn't have to travel anymore. So we dated for a few more months. And then it was like, do we break up? Do we do long distance? Or do we just see if it works? Do a little trial run? So now we're living together in Florida.

And it's been about six months since I've been here. So with the holiday issue... Last Christmas, I visited him in Florida and spent the whole month of December with him and his family. We live really close to them. And I thought we'd alternate holidays between our families in the future.

But now that it's time to make holiday plans, he told me that he doesn't want to travel during the holidays anymore. And he now runs his own business, so he could work around it. But it feels like he prioritizes his time and his preferences without much consideration for mine. And when we went to visit my family earlier this year for the first time, he gave me about four days of his schedule.

And now he says we just saw my family. And so it feels like I'm being gaslighted into thinking I'm selfish for wanting to spend Christmas with my family this year. So... I guess I'm really struggling with whether I'm being reasonable for asking to spend this holiday with my family or if I'm being made to feel like my needs don't matter.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I completely agree with you. And I guess that was one of the wants that I was like, let's not wait to have this conversation on our first date. I told him I want to get married. I want to have kids. These are my goals. I come from this messy family, but this is still something that is my biggest need. And he agreed, but that turns out he feels like the government shouldn't be involved in marriage.

Okay. That's what he says.
