here's the thing

some people care about their families

families can value time together

if you have a dysfunctional family this can be really hard to grasp and get behind

I'm not sure if you are trying to infer that my family might be dysfunctional (which isn't the case).

But the fact of the matter is this girl, for whatever reason visits her family once a week, if it's strictly a social call and not for something like medical reasons. I see no reason why her husband/boyfriend/etc would be obligated to join every single week.

A compromise should be reached, maybe once every two weeks or once a month.

But expecting your significant other to fall in line with visiting family every single week for no other reason then to socialize is asinine and unreasonable.

the topic said the compromise was every two weeks and he hasn't been going.

just seeing family =/= doing designated family time.

it wasn't directed just at you, but to all of these people that find it so weird someone would want to visit their family weekly.

It's a reasonable thing to ask of a SO however they don't have the same priorities.
