My girlfriend and I have been arguing all week about where we will spend Thanksgiving. My mother believes that we should spend holidays with my family. My girlfriend would rather spend holidays with her family. This really creates a big problem in our relationship. What do most couples do? - Brad
Brad you don’t mention where the families live. Assuming they live in the same town, make a point to visit both families on Thanksgiving Day. Both mothers need to be less selfish and more understanding. If one family lives away, then most couples rotate holidays. For instance, this Thanksgiving will be with your family, Christmas with hers. Then the following year it reverses to Thanksgiving with her family and Christmas with yours. This issue becomes more compounded when you marry and when you have children. If you plan to marry this lady, you may want to settle this issue now…before it becomes a much bigger problem later.
