Why doesn't anyone want to spend time with me?
Ok ever since I left my baby years Aka: As long as I could remember no one ever want me around they said so.... well not in those exact words, but when ever I knocked on my sisters door and say hi she says "GO AWAY" or "LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!!" I don't know why, and it's the same with my mom I sit to watch t.v with her which is usually American Idol, Family Feud, Wipe Out or on a rare occasion Wheel of fortune, which I only like 2 out of 4 of those shows, but I watch anyway so I could spend time with her and between commercial breaks I like t talk which my family says I talk to much so I try to limit myself I talk about movies we could watch maybe we could go to the park that sorta stuff, but when I ask her she doesn't reply so I say "Mommy did you hear me?"..... but all she says is "shhh my show is coming on!" So I get upset and say "why don't you ever want to talk to me you never listen!" then she says "GO AWAY CANDACE I'M WATCHING T.v and I cry a little bit in my room the watch t.v or get on the computer so what is wrong with me why doesn't anyone want to spend time with me is there something wrong with me someone please answer my question!
Wife wants to spend holidays with her "family"?
You need to explain all of this to her. Tell her you aren't feeling accepted as one of her family members and it hurts you to know she would rather spend her holidays with her family than with you and that you're going to be there all alone for thanksgiving and x-mas. She should not do that to you. She doesn't sound like a wife. She sounds more like a friend who has a choice. Any real WIFE would not be able to stand being away from her hubby. Especially for the Holidays. I know I wouldn't I would have a talk with her. And if she still doesn't get it, then you'll know she isn't as into the marriage as you are. And let her know that you're thinking about the marriage not working because of her behavior. If she loves you at all, she will change and be more supportive as a wife and make you more a part of the FAMILY. After all, when she married you.YOU became her family. Not her Mom and Dad. Good Luck
Is it wrong for me to avoid my family?
I've been living on my own with my wife for about 3 years now. I live about a half an hour from my parents and most of my family and i have really come to realize that i don't particularly like my family. I don't hate them,they aren't abusive or anything, I just don't really feel like spending any time with them. I find them to be depressing, obnoxious, or both. My parents are real downers about everything, my older brother rowdy and constantly drunk, my sister in law is constantly in a bad mood, my extended family is a bunch of bible thumpers (i certainly am not) and constantly argue about politics. Overall, i just have nothing in common with any of them and can't stand to spend time with them. Is it wrong for me, a 27 year old who is only about 30 minutes away from my family, to largely avoid my family? I don't want to go to thanksgiving or any holiday parties with them. Is that wrong?
Boyfriend doesn't want to spend thanksgiving with my family...?
If you guys are going to have a lasting relationship, eventually he's going to have to face your family and make an effort. I don't know how long you've been dating but maybe he's not ready for that... until you're engaged or living together, family holidays are optional so I wouldn't get too on his case if he doesn't want to go... you should just go without him. But I would remind him that if becoming family is in the future plans for you guys, eventually he's going to have to give the family thing a chance and get over it.
