Topic	My gf and I fight pretty regularly over familial obligations
Doctor Foxx 02/18/18 5:39:51 PM #83:	Balrog0 posted... Doctor Foxx posted... Balrog0 posted... I don't understand these posts (and your next one) tbh. I don't expect that my family time is an obligation for my partner when I want to have it, and I don't begrudge her seeing her family when she wants to. Like, what if we had the same family priorities? We would spend both of our weekend days with our parents. That is not realistic or even sustainable, frankly. I can't count the number of times I've told my parents that I don't wanna see them because I already spent half my weekend with my gfs parents as it is. People don't have infinite free time... For people that really value family time, that is their recreation time to a degree. That's just something that gets scheduled and done. You aren't required to join your SO for it. But it is polite to. Their family is your family when you are together, and you can't avoid it all the time. Nope, it's def not recreational for her. And and Why are you saying stuff like that I can't avoid it all the time, given I didn't avoid it at all for years? I just want to go less It just seems like you have very mismatched ideas about family as a priority and that is a serious, relationship-killing issue in a lot of cases having to deal with my ex's family all the time was a huge strain for me you can put your foot down about it. just don't expect that it will go well --- Never write off the Doctor! <cite>Doctor Foxx posted [p:896328655] in My gf and ...
