What have you guys done when you just didn’t want to be around your family for the Holidays? The holidays spent with my family is always incredibly awkward. We don’t have much to talk about, and when I take the initiative to start up a conversation or ask questions it’s met with abrupt answers. It’s just quiet and to be frank I don’t feel any closer to my family when I’m there so I just don’t see the point. My fiancé has only spent one thanksgiving with them and has determined that he will not spend another holiday with them like that. I’m fine with hosting both families in the future, or even just spending a day with them prior in lieu of actually being there on the holiday. How should I approach this topic with my family without making them feel like I’m abandoning them?
